Mites were reared on strawberry plants that received one of five treatments (Ac = Azotobacter chroococcum, Ab = Azospirillum brasilense, Pb = Pseudomonas brassicacearum, CF = chemical fertilizer, Control = without any soil treatment). 1POP = pre-oviposition period; different superscript uppercase letters indicate significant differences (P < 0.05) among treatments; different superscript lowercase letters indicate significant differences between males and females within each treatment (P < 0.05) based on paired bootstrap tests.
