Control of Tetranychus urticae on tomato with Phytoseiulus persimilis can be improved by conditioning the predators to tomato plants. Over several generations standard bean-reared (non-conditioned) predators produced fewer eggs per day and had reduced offspring survival than predators that had been conditioned on tomato. Calculations showed that after three generations, the population of conditioned predators could be 2.6 times that of non-conditioned predators. There is evidence to suggest that adaptation to tomato is a result of selection of a genotype within the original population
