Abstract
R. robini is capable of ingesting fungal material and passing it through the digestive tract in a viable state. Temperature and food substrate were important factors in the termination of the hypopodial stage, while relative humidity had no significant effect. Temperature also influenced the rate of post‐embryonic development in R. robini.Zusammenfassung: Beobachtungen zur Biologie von Rhizoglyphus robini Clap. (Acaridae)R. robini ist imstande, Material von pflanzenpathogenen Pilzen aufzunehmen und es in lebensfähigem Zustand seinen Verdauungstrakt passieren zu lassen. Temperatur und Nahrungssubstrat waren wichtige Faktoren zur Beendigung des Hypopodial‐Stadiums, während die rel. LF keine gesicherte Wirkung zeigte. Die Temperatur beeinflußte auch die Rate der postembryonalen Entwicklung der Milbe.Keywords
