Document Type : Research articles.

Abstract

Stored product mite, T. putrescentiae was reared on coriander seeds (
Conandrum sativum L.), molokhia seeds ( Corchorus olitorius L. ) and
roquette seeds (
Eruca sativa L.) and able to reproduce a large number
of eggs and moving stages. Seeds germination were affected as a
