A new physical control method using ultraviolet‐B (UV‐B) lamps and light‐reflecting sheets (UV method) significantly suppressed a spider mite population on greenhouse strawberries. Although UV‐B radiation may adversely affect the survival of phytoseiid mites, previous research has suggested that Neoseiulus californicus can improve its survival on exposure to UV‐B irradiation by consuming antioxidants contained in tea and peach pollen. In this study, we evaluated strawberry pollen as an alternative food source for N. californicus and examined whether antioxidants in the pollen mitigated UV‐B damage to N. californicus.

草莓花粉可作为植物性螨（Neoseiulus californicus）（Acari：Phytoseiidae）的UV-B防护成分来源。

一种使用紫外线B（UV-B）灯和反光片的新物理控制方法（紫外线方法）显着抑制了温室草莓上的红蜘蛛种群。尽管UV-B辐射可能会对植物性螨的存活产生不利影响，但先前的研究表明，新白蜡虫可以通过摄入茶和桃花粉中的抗氧化剂来提高其在UV-B辐射下的存活率。在这项研究中，我们评估了草莓花粉作为加州猪笼草的替代食物来源，并检查了花粉中的抗氧化剂是否减轻了UV-B对加州猪笼草的损害。
