Regulation of Acarus siro (Acarina: Acaridae) by the predatory mites and digestive enzyme inhibitors

Original language description

Acarus siro is a common pest of stored grain. The predatory mite Cheyletus malaccensis can be used to control Acarus populations. We have determined that acarbose (a low molecular weight inhibitor of amylases) functions as an antifeedant significantly decreasing the population growth of Acarus sp. The combined effect of the predator and the antifeedant on a population of Acarus was tested experimentally. The results showed that simultaneous treatment is more effective than separate applications of the antifeedant and the predatory mitesn We also investigated whether the antifeedant targeted against Acarus could influence the biology of Cheyletus in this complex biological system. We discuss the findings in the context of potential new methods for control of stored grain mites.
