New opportunities of using Amblyseius mckenziei for plants protection against a dangerous pest Brevipalpus obovatus are revealed in the greenhouses of the PolarAlpine Botanical Garden-Institute. The harmfulness degree and trophic level in the “plant-pest” food chain were determined. A list of plants inhabited by B. obovatus was worked out. The innovative technology of using Amblyseius mckenziei to preserve tropical and subtropical plants collection and to maintain ecological balance in the greenhouse artificial biocenosis was developed and introduced.
