This study investigates the dynamics of mite populations and their natural predators on selected vegetable crops in Ismailia, Egypt, with a focus on monthly and site-specific variations. Mites are notorious agricultural pests that can significantly impact crop yield and quality. Understanding the fluctuations in mite populations and the role of their predators in different locations and across seasons is essential for effective pest management strategies. The research involves systematic sampling and data collection, revealing valuable insights into the complex interactions between mites and their natural enemies in this agricultural region.
