Abstract
The aim of our research is the mass breeding and application of predatory mites against Tetranychus urticae. For the breeding of phytoseiulus in laboratory conditions, affordable and technologically feasible techniques are searched for. In the experiment to determine the biological activity we studied the biological efficacy of Phytoseiulus рersimilis application against common spider mite using on cucumber culture in protected soil. Release of phytoseiulus on cucumber plants was carried out in the ratio predator - victim 1:10. Biological efficiency of predator application on the 10th day was 70%. Two-fold release of acariphage, which further persisted on plants and effectively contained the pest population in economically insusceptible level
