Integrated pest management (IPM) tactics may effectively control focal pests, but it is also important to test the compatibility of different tactics, and consider non-target organisms. We investigated the effects of a neonicotinoid seed treatment and Rag resistance genes used for soybean aphid (Aphis glycines Matsumura) control on reproduction of a non-target herbivore (twospotted spider mite,...

Acute toxicities of 34 naturally occurring monoterpenoids were evaluated against 3 important arthropod pest species; the larva of the western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte; the adult of the twospotted spider mite. Tetranychus urticae Koch; and the adult house fly. Musca domestica L. Potential larvicidal or acaricidal activities of each monoterpenoid were determined by to...

x. The toxicity and action offluenethyl or 2-fluoroethyl(4-biphenylyl ) acetate, several other monofluoroethyl esters, monofluoroethanol, monofluoroacetic acid and fluoroacetamide were studied in mice, houseflies (Musca dornestica L.) and twospotted spider mites (Tetranychus urticae Koch). 2. Toxicity varied markedly with the test compound, method of application and biological species. Generall...
