Abstract
Field experiments were done in Qualubia Governorate on ten varities of wheat during the period from November 1992 to May 1993 to study the population density of soil acari. The soil mites associated with wheat varieties belong.to the f ive groups; Cryptostigmata, Astigmata, Iڑeterostigmata, Prostigmata and Mesostigmata. Field of serra variety included the greatest number of soil mites, while the least was found in that o1c Pick variety. The average number of mites associated with the wheat varieties in a descending order were 569, 438, 364, 357, 264, 245, 231, 171, 167 and 125 individuals/bOO cc soil were found under the var. Serrn, Harti.ENO 16, Enklab, Haiti. ENO 4, IDO 377, Line 4230/91, Sakha 8, Sakha 69, Copper and Pick respectively. Heterostigmata and Astigmata seemed to be numerically insignificant compared with other acari groups. Prostigmata dominated other acari
