Abstract
We have investigated some biological characteristics, such as survival rate and fecundity, of Orius laevigatus and Phytoseiulus persimilis, which have been stored at 6, 8, 10, $12{\pm}1^{\circ}C$, RH $70{\pm}10%$, in dark condition. Overall, an appropriate temperature for cold storage was $10^{\circ}C$ for O. laevigatus and $8^{\circ}C$ for P. persimilis. 70% of adult O. laevigatus could survive for 36 days at $10^{\circ}C$. The O. laevigatus stored at $10^{\circ}C$ for $10{\sim}50$ days laid $37.1{\sim}120.5$ eggs. Since fresh (no storage) O. laevigatus laid 224.5 eggs, comparative fecundity of stored adults was $16.5{\sim}53.7%$ of normal fecundity. P. persimilis stored at $8^{\circ}C$ for $7{\sim}2$ days with (food eggs of Tetranychus urticae) laid $11.9{\sim}18.9$ eggs. Since fresh P. persimilis laid 26.4 eggs, comparative fecundity of stored adults was $45.1{\sim}71.6%$ of normal fecundity.
