The response of three species of phytoseiid mite (Acari: Phytoseiidae) to synthetic pyrethroid pesticides in the laboratory and the field

Highlights New approaches have been proposed in the evaluation of pesticide selectivity towards natural enemies, in particular predatory mites. Predatory mites (i.e. phytoseiids) can become resistant to pesticides by mainly detoxification but also target-site mutations. Some recently developed acaricides show natural differential affinity for the target-site between spider mites and phytoseiids. Pesticide-free refuges and pesticide-treated nets increase the compatibility of pesticides with phytoseiids. Providing alternative foods can reduce the impact of pesticides on phytoseiids.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
