Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae) is a major pest mite infesting vegetables and horticultural ornamental agronomic crops in Egypt. In biological control strategies, natural enemies were applied to maintain TSSM population below the level where damage occurs for an extended period of time besides utilizing acaricides critical situation as quick practice avoid deleterious damage. This study evaluated p...

Acaricide is a pesticide designed to control harmful species of mites (Acari)1. In crop protection practices, acaricides are used against phytophagous mites, pests causing economic injuries to agricultural crops and ornamental plants. Until mid-twentieth century, in agroecosystems of low-level productivity, phytophagous mite populations usually stayed below economic injury levels, due to natura...

Abstract Twospotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Trombidiformes: Tetranychidae), is an important, worldwide pest of watermelon, Citrullus lanatus L. (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai (Cucurbitales: Cucurbitaceae). Feeding results in chlorotic spots and leaf necrosis, which can substantially reduce yields. In T. managed solely with acaricides. Issues acaricide resistance pesticide label res...

the sugarcane yellow mite, oligonychus sacchari (mcgregor, 1942) is one of the most important pests of sugarcane. in this study, the acaricidal efficacy of four different acaricides including biomite ® , gc-mite ® , oberon ® and envidor ® was assessed under laboratory conditions at 28 ± 0.5ºc, 50 ± 5% rh and a photoperiod of 16:8 h (l:d). adults of o. sacchari were exposed to treated leaves of ...

impact of sex pheromones, stirrup-m as additive for acaricides effects were evaluated on panonycjllls lllmi in 1995-1997. peroral (azocyclotin), amitraz (mitac), omite (propargite), neoron (bromopropylate) and citrazon (benzoximate) were tested with and without pheromones and compared with untreated plots with four replications through randomized complete block design. mortality percentage of e...

Two distant Antioquian cattle farms where systemic and topical acaricides had previously failed to control infestations by Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus were studied. An initial in vivo study was conducted using single subcutaneous injections with a long-acting formulation of ivermectin (630 μg/kg). Injections were made at 3-month intervals on animals at each farm to evaluate the therapeu...
