Abstract: With Polyphagotarsonemus latus as its prey,the developmental duration of Amblyseius cucumeris was 13.02, 9.61 ,5.96,5.26,4.65,4.78,and 5.80 days at 18,20,23,25,28,30,and 31 °C,respectively. The eggs of A.cucumeris could not hatch at 32 ℃. The lower and upper developmental thresholds and the optimum developmental temperature of A. cucumeris from eggs to adults were 12.77 ℃,33.50 ℃ and 23.87 ℃,respectively.
