Plain language summary

This oral presentation summarized our research on the morphological and molecular diagnostics of three species of predatory mites (Stratiolaelaps scimitus, Neoseiulus cucumeris, Phytoseiulus persimilis) that are sold worldwide as biocontrol agents against agricultural pests. This research presents refinement in species identification of these widely-used mites.
