“Polyphagotarsonemus latus (broad mite) is a primary commercial target of A. swirskii alongside whitefly; the predator-prey interaction is canonical in greenhouse IPM.”
- entomologist · plausible
“Tarsonemid broad mite predation by A. swirskii is well-established; this is a foundational use-case for the species in commercial biocontrol of pepper and ornamentals.”
