Age-Stage, Two-Sex Life Table and Functional Response of Amblyseius orientalis (Acari: Phytoseiidae) Feeding on Different Nutrient Sources.

The oviposition period of the individuals in the pollen + yeast group and the pollen + yeast + sucrose group was significantly longer than that of the individuals in the pollen group (Table 3). The fecundity of the individuals in the pollen + yeast group (25.86) and the pollen + yeast + sucrose group (27.00) was also significantly higher than that of the individuals in the pollen group (13.50). For the pollen group, the pollen + yeast group, and the pollen + yeast + sucrose group, the maximum mean lifetime values were 19.05, 28.13, and 31.88 days, respectively. Individuals in the pollen + yeast and pollen + yeast + sucrose groups had significantly higher net reproductive rates (R SB 0 sb ) and gross reproduction rates (GRR) than those of the pollen group (Table 2) [[20]].
