Course Goal / Objective
In this lecture, students will know to distinguish between mites, especially plant feeding mites and insects. In addition, general physiology and morphology of the mites will be taught. Afterwards, plant feeding mites will be identified at family and species levels. The biological characterisitics and methods to control mites will also be explained in detail. Therefore, student will recognize plant feeding and beneficial mites and also suggest a method to control them.
Course Content
Discriminating features between mites and other arthropods taxonomically. Identification of important pest and predator mites families in agriculture. Biology, ecology and behaviour of mites and predator mites and control methods used against Acarina.
Course Precondition
There is no prerequisite for this course.
