The predatory mite Amblyseius swirskii Athias-Henriot is a biological control agent that has the potential to play an important role in pest management in many greenhouse crops. Most research on this predatory mite has focused on its use and efficacy in greenhouse vegetables. However, an increasing number of growers of greenhouse ornamental crops also want to adopt biological control as their primary pest management strategy and find that biological control programs developed for vegetables are not optimized for use on floricultural plants. This paper reviews the use of A. swirskii in greenhouse crops, where possible highlighting the specific challenges and characteristics of ornamentals. The effects of different factors within the production system are described from the insect/mite and plant level up to the production level, including growing practices and environmental conditions. Finally, the use of A. swirskii within an integrated pest management system is discussed.
捕食螨斯氏钝绥螨（Amblyseius swirskii Athias-Henriot）是一种生物防治剂，在许多温室作物的害虫管理中具有发挥重要作用的潜力。关于这种捕食螨的大多数研究都集中在其在温室蔬菜中的应用和效果上。然而，越来越多的温室观赏作物种植者也希望采用生物防治作为其主要的害虫管理策略，并发现为蔬菜制定的生物防治方案在花卉植物上的应用并非最优。本文综述了斯氏钝绥螨在温室作物中的应用，尽可能突出观赏植物的具体挑战和特点。从昆虫/螨类和植物层面直至生产层面，描述了生产系统中不同因素的影响，包括种植方式和环境条件。最后，讨论了斯氏钝绥螨在综合害虫管理系统中的应用。
