Zusammenfassung:The present invention discloses a biological control composition comprising a cultivated rearing population of Phytoseiulus persimilis (P. persimilis) predatory mite individuals, and optionally a carrier material, wherein at least 5% of the P. persimilis individuals comprise within their genome at least one Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) marker associated with the trait of improved rearing properties on a non-Tetranychid arthropod prey aass aa factious host, preferably on an immobilized non-Tetranychid arthropod prey, such as on an Astigmatid prey, most preferably on an immobilized Astigmatid prey, as compared to a P. persimilis population characterized by less than 5% individuals comprising within their genome said at least one SNP marker.
