Mechanisms underlying the impact and interaction of temperature and UV-B on the hatching of spider mite and phytoseiid mite eggs.

Slower development in T. urticae than N. californicus in nature and developmental delay under low temperatures increase the ovicidal effects of the UV method. This shows the advantage of the simultaneous use of the UV method and biological control, contributing to the development of integrated pest management. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.
