Toxicity of some acaricides and some insect growth regulators on the two spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch and its predator Phytoseiulus pesrsimilis under laboratory conditions

Abstract: The toxicity of some acaricides and insect growth regulators, Oxymatrine, Flufenoxuron and Chlorofbazuron were used against the two spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch and its predator Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot under laboratory conditions 25 ºC and 70 % R.H. Embryonic development of T. urticae eggs laid (incubation period) on the leaf discs treated with acaricides and some insect growth regulators were delayed. Flufenoxuron was more effective than Chlorofbazuron and Oxymatrine. The rate of predator P. persimilis consumption to T. urticae differed according to the used compounds.
