Abstract
Biology of Aceria dimocarpi (Kuang) was conducted on 12 days old longan seedlings under laboratory conditions with approximately mean temperature of 25.11 °C and 68.08% relative humidity. There were 4 developmental stages of A. dimocarpi; the egg, larval, nymphal, and adult stages, with the average duration means of each stage were 2.88, 0.94 and 0.76 days respectively. The first and second quiescent stages were lasted 0.69 and 0.85 days respectively. The average preoviposition period of the adult female was 2.4 days. The fecundity of each female was 2.7 eggs with a mean of 0.91 egg per day, and fertility rate of 68%. The average life expectancy of individual was 5.2 days. The survival rate observed from larva through adult stage of this mite was 34%.
