“…Depending on the chemistry and number of applications, a high level of resistance to acaricides can develop and is often associated with cross-resistance. Failures in the chemical control of spider mites caused by resistance have been reported for various compounds, such as organophosphates (Herron et al , 1998; Stumpf et al , 2001), carbamates (Cranham & Helle, 1985), dicofol (Unwin, 1971; Van Leeuwen et al , 2005), organotins (Goodwin et al , 1995), hexythiazox, clofentezine (Herron et al , 1993), abamectin (Campos et al , 1995; Stumpf & Nauen, 2002), bifenthrin (Herron et al , 2001; Van Leeuwen & Tirry, 2007) and chlorfenapyr (Herron & Rophail, 2003).…”
