“…Its potential as an agent to control tetranychid mites in greenhouses was recognized by Dosse (43). It has been sent from Germany to other countries in Europe and to Canada and the United States (14, 16, 69,88,104). The potential of P. persimilis.to control T. urticae in greenhouses has been demonstrated in England and the Netherlands (67), and in Finland and the USSR (77).…”

“…The efficiency and practical value of Phytoseiulus persirnilis Athias-Henriot in controlling the two-spotted spider mite Tetrunychus uvticue Koch on various greenhouse crops is well-documented (BRAVENBOER and DOSE 1962;HUSSEY and SCOPES 1977;HASSAN and MEYER 1980;WOETS and LENTEREN 1979;MOTOYAMA et al (1970), HOY and KNOP (1979) and SMITH et al (1963). Successful attempts to improve the resistance of the predatory mite Metaseiufus occidentafis (Nesbitt) to azinphos-methyl, carbaryl, diazinon and permethrin were carried out by ROUSH and HOY (1980) and HOY et al (1980).…”

Methods to test the side effects of pesticides on adults as well as young stages of the predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias‐Henriot are described. The effects of 11 pesticides frequently used in integrated pest management programmes for glasshouse crops were tested on three different strains of the predator. Two of these strains (from the Glasshouse Crops Research Institute in Littlehampton, England and the Dutch company Koppert) are commercially used m several European countries to control the two‐spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch. The third strain (from the University Stuttgart‐Hohenheim) has been kept in laboratory rearings for at least 28 years without exposure to pesticides. Exposing P. persimilis adult females to a fresh dry pesticide film applied on potted bean plants as well as directly spraying the juvenile stages of the predator showed that the strain “Koppert” was resistant to the fungicide pyrazophos (Afugan WP 30) and less susceptible to the aphicide pirimicarb (Pirimor Granulat) as well as the fungicide dichlofluanid (Euparen) compared to the strains “Hohenheim” and “Littlehampton”. The fungicides triadimefon (Bayleton spezial), vinclozolin (Ronilan), ditalimfos (Frutogard), dodemorph‐acetat (BASF‐Mehltaumittel) were harmless to all the three strains of P. persimilis. The fungicides bupirimat (Nimrod) and dichlofluanid (Euparen) and triforine (Saprol) were harmless to the three strains in the adult test but slightly harmful to moderately harmful in the juvenile test to the strains “Hohenheim” and “Littlehampton” and harmless to slightly harmful to the strain “Koppert”. The insecticides pirimiphos‐methyl (Actellic 50) and pyrethnne + piperonylbutoxide (Spruzit‐Nova‐flüssig) were harmful in both tests to all the three strains. The use of the resistant “Koppert” strain allows the chemical control of mildew, aphids and thrips without adversely affecting the predator. Zusammenfassung Relative Toleranz von drei verschiedenen Zuchtlinien der Raubmilbe Phytoseiulus persimilis A.‐H. gegenüber 11 in Gewächshauskulturen verwendeten Pflanzenbehandlungsmitteln Es werden Methoden zur Prüfung der Nebenwirkung von Pflanzenbehandlungsmitteln auf Imagines und Jungstadien der Raubmilbe Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias‐Henriot beschrieben. Die Wirkung von 11, im Rahmen von integrierten Pflanzenschutzprogrammen häufig angewandten, Präpapaten wurde an drei verschiedenen Zuchtlinien des Nützlings geprüft. Zwei dieser Zuchtlinien (vom Glasshouse Crops Research Institute in Littlehampton, England, und von der Firma Koppert & Sohn, Berkel en Rodenrijs, Niederlande) finden bei der Bekämpfung der Gemeinen Spinnmilbe Tetranychus urticae Koch in mehreren europäischen Ländern kommerzielle Anwendung, die dritte Zuchtlinie (von der Universität Stuttgart‐Hohenheim) wird seit mindestens 28 Jahren im Laboratorium in Dauerzucht gehalten. Die Exposition von P. persimilis‐Weibchen auf frisch applizierten, angetrockneten Spritzbelägen auf eingetopften Buschbohnenpflanzen sowie direkte Spritzungen an Jungtieren ...

“…Before biological control of Tetranychus urticae could be used successfully, suitable control methods which could be integrated with the biological control programme had to be developed for these other pests. P. persimilis is susceptible to a large number of pesticides (Smith et al, 1963) and many of the treatments currently recommended for cucumber pests and powdery mildew could not be used without interfering with the predator-prey interaction. Gould (1970) described preliminary trials with an ihtegrated programme for several cucumber pests and further aspects of the problem were studied in detail at the Glasshouse Crops Research Institute.…”

An integrated programme of pesticides and biological agents was used for the control of cucumber pests at seven sites in England in 1970. Tetranychus urticae was effectively controlled using the predacious mite Phytoseiulus persimilis. The parasite Encarsia formosa gave variable control of Trialeurodes vaporariorum. Tyrophagus longior was controlled by sprays of parathion applied to the beds or straw bales before planting at five of the six sites where control measures were used, and bed drenches of gamma-BHC or diazinon gave good control of Thrips tabaci. When used in this way, these pesticides did not aifect the biological control programme. The selective aphicide pirimicarb was used to control Aphis gossypii. Dimethirimol controlled cucumber powdery mildew early in the season but later applications gave control at only one site. 149
