Abstract
The development of orchard integrated pest management (IPM) systems have become an increasing important concept throughout the world. Increasing public concern over the use of chemical insecticides and their impact on the environment (Horowitz et al., 2003) and non-target species (Michaud, 2002; Goulet, 2003; Cuthbertson and Murchie, 2005a; Joy et al., 2005; Cuthbertson and Brown, 2009) is continuing to drive the need to develop new and novel means of pest control in what is an ever increasingly competitive business. Internationally, and more specifically in the United Kingdom (UK), much research regarding orchard IPM has centred on the predatory mites Typhlodromous pyri Scheuten and Zetzellia mali (Ewing). These mites have been shown to have much potential to offer control of many economic invertebrate pest species (Santos, 1976a,b; Easterbrook et al., 1985; Dicke et al., 1989; Croft et al., 1995). Studies have also shown T. pyri to have the potential to be successfully incorporated along with insecticide treatments for the control of orchard pests (Cranham and Solomon, 1981; Easterbrook, 1984; Cross and Berrie, 1994). However, for the full implementation and success of pest control programmes within orchard ecosystems, there is also the need to investigate the potential of other generalist predatory species and determine their potential for inclusion within such schemes.
