Given this need a diagnosis was made of the current situation of the ornamental field on rose and gerbera plants) concerning populations of pests and predatory mite, through monthly samples, of which two species were identified Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor, 1954) and Tetranychus urticae Koch, 1836. Additionally, this information was shared with the producers and staff in charge of the plantations, obtaining an affirmative response to the appropriate and timely management of pest mite populations.
