Abstract


In Tunisia, spider mites cause serious damages on tomato both in greenhouses and in the open field. Nevertheless, basic information about these mite species, their biology, their host-plants and the losses they cause to production is lacking. A fundamental study on tomato spider mites was carried out in the main agricultural areas where tomato is grown. Preliminary results showed the presence of two phytophagous species: Tetranychus urticae (Koch) and Aculops lycopersici (Massee). The predatory species Phytoseiulus persimilis (Athias-Henriot) was also found.
