Abstract

The appearance of diapausing females of two mite species (Tetranychus urticae KOCH and T. kanzawai KISHIDA) was observed at the critical photoperiod of about 12 hours at the intermediate temperature of 16°C, and about 50% diapausing females appeared in early October in Tottori District. The diapausing females of T. urticae overwintered in groups under the roughened bark and those of T. kanzawai overwintered under fallen leaves and tight rope knots of lateral shoot. It was found that there was a high correlation between the number of summer females on leaves in late September and the amount of overwintering females. Diapause was broken in about 70% of the females of T. kanzawai collected from pear orchard on November 15, by chilling at about 4°C for 29 days, and in about 50% of the females of T. urticae the diapause was broken by exposure to a temperature of about 4°C for 41 days. But it was observed that in about 60-90% of females of the two species diapause ended in late December in the field. The number of detached females from overwintering areas increased linearly from late February to early March. This phenomenon was completed in late March in T. kanzawai, whereas in T. urticae it extended up to mid-April.
