绒蟎隶于真蟎目(Acariformes)、辐蟎亚目(Actinedida)、绒蟎总科(Trom-bidioidea),是捕食性农业蟎类的重要类群之一。目前植绥蟎在害虫综合治理中倍受重视,但我们也不应忽视绒蟎(不包括恙蟎)的应有作用。本文介绍一些绒蟎形态和生物学特性及其应用前景,希望能引起广大植保工作者的注意。 Acarid mites belong to Acariformes, Actinedida, Trom-bidioidea, and are one of the important groups of predatory agricultural mites. At present, phytoseiosis mites are paid more attention to the comprehensive management of pests, but we should not neglect the proper role of velvet mites (excluding chigger mites). This article introduces some morphological and biological characteristics and their application prospect of mites, hoping to attract the attention of plant protection workers.
