“…The relative toxicity of pesticides to pests, predators and immature stages (e.g. neonates) of the predators should provide an adequate indication for selectivity of pesticides, which is essential for development of effective and sustainable pest management programs (Jeppson et al, 1975).…”

“…Ethion is an organophosphate compound chemically known as O, O, O', O'-tetraethyl S, S'-methylene bis (phosphorodithioate) and was reported as potential acaricide in 1955 and act as both insecticide and acaricides (Jeppson et al, 1975). It was reported to be effective against adults of Teteranychus telarius Linn infesting apple (Dickinson 1958;Goyal and Bath 1967).…”

Experiments were conducted to find out the influence of two acaricides (Propargite and Ethion) on survivability of an anthocorid predator, Blaptostethus pallescens (Poppius) when exposed at different time intervals under laboratory conditions. In present investigation, the second instar nymphs of B. pallescens were exposed to propargite @ 300 ml/acre and ethion @ 450 ml/acre for different time intervals using two methods of treatment viz; leaf disc and foliar spray method. Both the acaricides had adverse effect on the survival of the predator but the effect of ethion was faster as compared to propargite. When exposure time for ethion treatment was increased from one to six hours, the mortality of second instar nymphs increased from 0.10 to 86.00 per cent. On the other hand, in case of propargite, the mortality was 0.10 per cent at 1 hour interval and gradually increased with increase in exposure time, up to 20 per cent at 48 hours of exposure. Second instar nymphs were released on potted plants showed higher rate of mortality after the foliar spray of acaricides as compared to those in leaf disc where corrected per cent mortality of ethion treated nymphs was 10.96 per cent at one hour of exposure and it became almost 100 per cent at six hours of exposure or above. Similar trend was followed in case of propargite where mortality was 6.97 to 75.5 per cent, when exposure time increased from one hour to 12 hours. Thus both acaricides were found to be unsafe to B. pallescens.

“…Galendromus occidentalis is an important predator of spider mites (Irigay & Zalom, 2006) and has been recognized as such since the 1950s (Huffaker & Flaherty, 1966 (Jeppson et al, 1975 Some genera have been included in more than one type category as needed to acknowledge behavioral differences among species. Lesser known genera have not been studied to the degree necessary to include them in these categories.…”

“…Development of organophosphates began in the 1940s and provided the next decade with highly effective chemical pesticides (Bentley et al, 2004;Federighi, 2001). Biological control research and practice faded as a result and pests, including tetranychid spider mites, developed resistance during the 1950s and 1960s with the consistent use of similar pesticides (Huffaker & Flaherty, 1966;van Lenteren, 2003;Jeppson et al, 1975). Tetranychid populations increased as they developed resistance.…”

Survey of Phytoseiids (Acari: Phytoseiidae) on the Central Coast of California

samples of avocados, cherimoya, caneberry, grape, and strawberry from a combined total of 24 sites. The most diverse collection of phytoseiids was identified on grape with seven different genera and 12 different species followed by caneberry with 7 genera and 7 species. Strawberry was the least diverse with three genera and three different species.The most significant presence of type I and type II phytoseiids were located on caneberry and strawberry while avocado, cherimoya and grape were dominated by type IV species.Reasons for the difference in diversity could be attributed to the availability of preferred hosts, alternate food sources, and the effectiveness of augmentative releases and pesticide applications.
