近三十年来,以螨治螨在生物防治中获得了巨大成功。益螨不仅是害螨的天敌,也是许多害虫的寄生者与捕食者。1982年美国生物防治专家和蜱螨学家在加州大学Berke-ley分校召开了“以螨防治有害生物”的讨论会,会上Eickwort等对以螨治虫进行了广泛的论述。同年,在北京中美科学院联合举办的“昆虫生物防治学术讨论会”上,忻介六曾提出以螨治虫,希望加强这方面的研究。以螨治虫是一个有发展前途的领域。 In the past three decades, mites have gained great success in biological control. Tetanus is not only a natural enemy of pests, but also parasites and predators of many pests. In 1982, American biocontrol experts and acarina scientists held a seminar on “Controlling Pests by Mites” at the University of California, Berkeley. Eickwort et al. Discussed extensively on mites. In the same year, at the “Symposium on Biological Control of Insects” jointly organized by the Sino-American Academy of Sciences in Beijing, Xin Jiu-li had proposed the prevention of mites in the hope of strengthening mites in this area. To mite pest control is a promising area.
