Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for cultivating a mite, a mite composition comprising said mite, a system for releasing said mite, and use of said mite.
- mite species selected from Mesostigmatid and Prostigmatid predatory species, such as from the family of the Cheyletidae, Cunaxidae, Macrochelidae, Erythraeidae, Laelapidae, Parasitidae, or Tydeidae, receive interest in biological crop protection.
- a driving force behind the increasing interest of predatory mites is their efficacy to control harmful crop pests and the availability of mass rearing systems to produce them on a commercially relevant scale for an acceptable price. Therefore, the use of predatory mites as an economic alternative to chemical pesticides is enabled.
- Conventional methods may for example include rearing the predatory mites on life prey in a culture maintained on a carrier, or to rear predatory mites on eggs from Ephestia kuehniella coated on popcorn grains.
- the present invention aims at obviating or at least reducing the aforementioned problems and to enable efficient and effective cultivation of mites.
- This objective is achieved with the method for cultivating a mite, comprising feeding a breeding population of individuals of the mite of the family Parasitidae in a substrate, comprising organic material and vermiculite, with individuals of further mites of the family Carpoglyphidae, Acaridae, Suidasiidae, or a combination thereof, and eggs of crustacean and/or eggs of moths.
- eggs of crustacean may refer to eggs of a single crustacean and/or eggs of multiple crustaceans. Therefore, crustacean may refer crustacean and/or crustaceans throughout this application.
- feeding includes adding individuals of the further mites of the family Carpoglyphidae, Acaridae, and/or Suidasiidae, and eggs of crustacean and/or eggs of moths to the breeding population.
- An advantage of the method according to the invention is that efficient and effective cultivation of a mite of the family Parasitidae is achieved.
- feeding the mites of the family Parasitidae with the further mites of the family Carpoglyphidae, Acaridae, and/or Suidasiidae includes feeding the mites of the family Parasitidae with one or more individual of the further mites of the family Carpoglyphidae, Acaridae, Suidasiidae.
- Feeding the mites of the family Parasitidae with individuals of further mites of the family Carpoglyphidae, Acaridae, and/or Suidasiidae, and eggs of crustacean and/or eggs of moths provides sufficient nutrients for the mites of the family Parasitidae to grow and/or reproduce.
- feeding a breeding population of individuals of the mite of the family Parasitidae in a substrate, comprising organic material and vermiculite, with individuals of further mites of the family Carpoglyphidae, Acaridae, Suidasiidae, or a combination thereof, and eggs of crustacean and/or eggs of moths provides a higher density of mites in the substrate compared to a breeding population fed with further mites or eggs of crustacean and/or eggs of moths.
- Yet another advantage of the combination of individuals of further mites of the family Carpoglyphidae, Acaridae, Suidasiidae, or a combination thereof, and eggs of crustacean and/or eggs of moths is that the nutritional value of individuals of further mites of the family Carpoglyphidae, Acaridae, Suidasiidae and eggs of crustacean and/or eggs of moths complement each other. Furthermore, said further individuals and eggs have dimensions which could be consumed by the individuals of the breeding population.
- all stadia of the individuals of the further mites may be used for the cultivation of the mites of the family Parasitidae.
- the different stadia may be eggs of the further mites, larvae of the further mites, nymphs of the further mites, adults of the further mites.
- said mites in their different stadia of evolution may be fed to the mite of the family Parasitidae alive or dead.
- Yet another advantage of the method according to the invention is that the achieved cultivated mite in said substrate efficiently and effectively prevents and/or treats and/or cures fly plague and/or a mite plague and/or nematodes and/or louse and/or aphids.
- the method may start with a step of providing a substrate comprising organic material and vermiculite. Said step may be followed by a step of adding a breeding population of individuals of the mite of the family Parasitidae to the substrate, and a step of feeding the mite with individuals of further mites of the family Carpoglyphidae, Acaridae, and/or Suidasiidae, and eggs of crustacean and/or eggs of moths.

- a chicken coop (1 metre by 2 metres) invaded by the mite Dermanyssus gallinae was cleared by the mite Parasitus consanguineous.
- the mite Parasitus consanguineous was provided to the chicken coop using four systems for releasing beneficial mites according to the invention. All systems comprises about 1000 mites of Parasitus consanguineous. After four weeks no mites of Dermanyssus gallinae were found in the chicken coop.
- Parasitus consanguineous (for example Rhabdocarpais consanguineus) were cultivated using a substrate of moist black peat mixed with vermiculite.
- the ratio between the dry weight of black peat and the dry weight of vermiculite was 1 : 5.
- To 5 L of the substrate 300 mL of fishmeal was added.
- 5000 further mites of Tyrophagus putrescentiae were added to the substrate and the substrate has been kept in an environment with a humidity of about 60%, and a temperature of about 26 °C for 24 hours.
- the fishmeal may enable to achieve Tyrophagus putrescentiae with an increased uptake of proteins.
- Parasitus consanguineous for example Rhabdocarpais consanguineus
- Carpoglyphus lactis for example Tyrophagus putrescentiae
- Suidasia medanensis eggs of the genus Artemia.
- Parasitus consanguineous for example Rhabdocarpais consanguineus
- Carpoglyphus lactis for example Tyrophagus putrescentiae
- Suidasia medanensis eggs of the genus Ephestia.
- the substrate comprising the initial colony has been kept in an environment with a humidity of about 60%, and a temperature of about 26 °C.
- a day/night rhythm comprising 16 hours of light, preferably 16 hours of consecutive light, was provided to the substrate comprising the initial colony for 10 days to 14 days. It was found that at about 12 days the substrate comprises between 58000 and 68000 mites of Parasitus consanguineous per 5 Litre of substrate.
- the mites were about 5% bigger compared to mites fed with Tyrophagus putrescentiae which had not been exposed to fishmeal. The size of the mites was determined using a microscope and a ruler.
- Parasitus consanguineous may be referred to as P. consanguineous.
- the amount of the substrate is defined as the total amount of said substrate.
- a combination of two parts forming the substrate may be defined as 50% of substrate A and 50% of substrate B.
- Table 1 Composition of substrate.
- the density of the substrate of entry 1 was too high.
- the mites were only found in the top part of the substrate. As a result, the full potential of the substrate was not used.
- the substrate of entry 1 had to be sprayed with an aqueous solution more often compared to the substrate of for example entries 7 and 8 in order to prevent that the substrate dried out.
- a substrate according to entry 1 is not preferred for cultivating a mite such as P. consanguineous.
- a substrate according to entry 2 enables a mite such as P. consanguineous to move freely through the substrate. It was also found that said substrate had to be sprayed with an aqueous solution to prevent that the substrate dries out.
- an additional substrate for example vermiculite such as disclosed in entry 9, could be added such that moist is retained by the substrate. It was found that a substrate of bark and vermiculite in an amount/ratio of 50% : 50% solved the problem of (continuously) wetting the substrate. The addition of vermiculite enabled to achieve a substrate with the desired moisture content.
- a disadvantage of the bark (entries 2 and 9) was that a large volume is required to grow the desired population. Furthermore, the substrate comprising bark could not efficiently and effectively blow onto a surface which needed to be treated.
- a substrate of 50% potting soil and 50% compost (entry 4) provided too much heat. Therefore, the mites suffered from stress and eventually died. The desired population of mites could not be achieved. A similar effect was observed using the substrate according to entry 10.
- a substrate of coconut appeared to have a structure which could not be efficiently and effectively be handled by a user.
- a substrate of coconut did not provide the desired concentration of at least 50000 P. consanguineous per 5 Litre substrate efficiently and effectively. Therefore, a substrate of coconut is not desired.
- the substrate according to entry 6 did not provide the desired concentration of at least 50000 P. consanguineous per 5 Litre substrate. Said substrate is not resistant to moisture, therefore said substrate was too dry for the mites.
- the substrate according to entry 7 provided an efficient and effective population of at least 50000 P. consanguineous per 5 Litre substrate, it was found that a substrate according to entry 8 provided the desired population of at least 50000 P. consanguineous per 5 Litre substrate even more efficiently and effectively compared to the substrate of entry 7 (shorter period of time and less water to be used).
- a substrate comprising organic material and vermiculite provided an efficient and effective population of at least 50000 P. consanguineous per 5 Litre substrate.
