Abstract:
The simulation study under laboratory condition showed that the functional responses of Typhlodromus bambuse to Schizotetranychus bambuse at different development stages could be expressed by the curve of Holling Type II. The number of prey consumed by predator quickly increased with initial prey density, but soon leveled off. At 25 +/- 0.5 degrees C, the handling time (Th) of T. bambuse to S. bambusae at the stages of egg, larva, protonymph, deurtonymph and female was in order of egg
