Effectiveness of Entomopathogenic Hyphomycetes Towards Controlling the Broad Mite, Polyphagotarsonemus Latus (Banks) and the Red Spider Mite, Tetranychus Urticae Koch Complex

he red spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch Complex and the broad mite, Polyphagotarsonemus latus (Banks) are serious pests on many agricultural and ornamental crops. They are distributed worldwide and polyphagous on vegetables especially those under shelter and fruit crops. In Malaysia strawbe...
