Abiotic and Biotic Factors Affecting Resting Spore Formation in the Mite Pathogen Neozygites floridana

Table 3

Effect of different combinations of biotic factors, coinfection, host plant quality, and mite age, on resting spores produced in N. floridana-killed T. urticae (Brazilian isolate: ESALQ1420) and T. evansi (Brazilian isolates: ESALQ1419 and ESALQ1421) isolates from Brazil.
