Abstract:Simply estimating pesticide effects on natural enemies of pests by measuring only lethal effects, or sublethal effects on the only treated natural enemies, may underestimate the total negative effects on them. So sublethal effects on subsequent generations should be assessed to estimate the total effects of their applications. Sublethal effects of commonly used acaricides on population growth parameters, life table parameters, and predation of the predatory mites of the family phytoseiidae were investigated. F… Show more
