In Jeju cirtrus orchards, Panonychus citri, citrus red mite is the most important pest requiring 3 times acaricide sprays. In open field conventional orchards, P. citri usually shows three population peaks; from end of Jun to July, from end of Aug. to Sep., from end of Oct. to Nov. However, natural enemy complex and its function regulating P.citri are poorly understood. From the survey of P.citri natural enemy in citrus orchard in Jeju from 2004 to 2006, predatory beetle, Oligota spp. was most abundant. Three predatory mite, N. californicus, Amblyseius eharai, and N. barkeri, were identified. Among them, the predatory mite, Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor) (Acari: Phytoseiidae), was first found in Korea. Even though it was first found, N. californicus was the dominant species occupying 84% of phytoseiid mites. These predatory mites mostly occurred in Jun and peaked at July, which was accorded with the high humidity season of the year. From the survey, the density relationship with P. citri was unclear. From the study conducted in 2005-2007, N. californicus was more abundant in greenhouse citrus (var. Shirahuhi) than in open field orchards; conventional or organic mandarine citrus. In greenhouse citrus, phytoseiid mites showed suppressing P. citri population. As a next step, the inundative biological control study was conducted using commercial strain of N. californicus, which was originated from Jeju, 2005, in greenhouse citrus. One thousand N. californicus per 1a were released 2 times at 10 day interval on citrus leaves when the initial density of P. citri was about 0.2 per leaf. The release effects were variable depending on the field condition. However, N. californicus did successfully reduce P. citri in greenhouse citrus orchards.
