“…Likewise, Ibrahim and Yee (2000) found that although abamectin deleteriously affected Neoseiulus longispinosus (Evans) (Acari: Phytoseiidae), this predator did not suffer the same toxic effects as T. urticae, based on comparison of growth and reproduction estimates. Earlier studies demonstrated that survivability and female fecundity were compromised among predatory mite species such as Metaseiulus occidentalis (Nesbitt), Phytoseius finitimus Ribaga, and Amblyseius gossipi E-Badry (Grafton-Cardwell and Hoy 1983, El-Banhawy and El-Bagoury 1985, Reda and El-Banhawy, 1988. Development and implementation of integrated pest management programs for O. perseae and S. perseae that combine selective insecticides (e.g., abamectin) and natural enemies will require a thorough understanding of the non-target effects of these insecticides and the field ecology of target pests.…”

“…A number of parameters are used by the International Organisation for Biological Control (IOBC) to test the effects of pesticides on beneficial insects 17. These range from residue‐on‐glass methods to determine effects on mortality and reproduction of predatory agents18 to those developed by Reda and El‐Banhawy19 to study the effect of feeding insecticide‐treated prey to predators. We have adopted a method similar to that used by Reda and El‐Banhawy19 to investigate whether residues of teflubenzuron present on the leaves of a range of different species of host plants will cause any mortality to thrips over a 24‐h period and affect the mortality and predation levels of two control agents, I degenerans and O laevigatus .…”

A short duration (24h) leaf-disc bioassay was used to determine the effects of teflubenzuron residues on the predation levels of two predators, Iphiseius degenerans (Berlese) and Orius laevigatus (Fieber), foraging on nymphs of two species of thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) and Heliothrips haemorrhoidalis (Bouche), on a range of different species of plant. Teflubenzuron did cause thrips mortality during the 24-h bioassay; it was more active against H haemorrhoidalis than F occidentalis. Teflubenzuron did not cause significant mortality to either species of predator, although on some plants the effectiveness of both predators was reduced in the presence of teflubenzuron.

Understanding pesticide non-target effects on natural enemies is a key element of successful conservation biological control. Due to their importance in agroecosystems worldwide, the phytoseiid mites are the most well-studied natural enemies in pesticide selectivity research. The wealth of literature associated with this topic allows for a thorough meta-analysis of pesticide non-target effects and may also indicate general trends relevant to many cropping systems. We conducted a meta-analysis using 2386 observations from 154 published papers examining the impact of pesticides on lethal (adult and juvenile mortality) and sublethal (fecundity, egg hatch) effects. Insecticides and herbicides did not statistically differ in toxicity to phytoseiids, but research on herbicide non-target effects is scarce. Specific insecticides, fungicides, and miticides were sorted into least and most harmful categories. Phytoseiid species also differed in sensitivity, with Galendromus occidentalis (Nesbitt), Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor), and Typhlodromus pyri Scheuten among the least sensitive species. Sensitivity variation may be partly due to pesticide resistance; the greatest differences between species were within older mode of action (MOA) groups, where resistance development has been documented. It has been speculated that specialist phytoseiids, which closely associate with Tetranychus spp. spider mites, have more opportunities for resistance development due to their necessary proximity to a pest that rapidly develops resistance. Effect sizes were higher for generalist phytoseiid species, supporting this hypothesis. This meta-analysis highlights pesticide types (herbicides) and MOA groups where more research is clearly needed. Our analysis also allows for more robust generalizations regarding which pesticides are harmful or selective to phytoseiids.
