the foraging behavior of a natural enemy is greatly affected by temperature. the influence ofdifferent constant temperatures on the functional response and prey consumption of the mated female ofneoseiulus barkeri hughes on nymphal stages of tetranychus urticae koch was evaluated. four ambienttemperatures (20, 25, 30 and 35 â± 1â°c) and six prey densities (2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64 individuals) we...

the entomopathogenic fungus beauveria bassiana (bals.) vuill. is one of the important arthropod pathogens that can play an important role in the regulation of mite populations in agricultural ecosystems. in this study, the combined effect of a native isolate of fungus b. bassiana (eut105) and ether-extract of plant, ginkgo biloba was evaluated against the two-spotted spider mite, tetranychus ur...

ABSTRACT: The spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae (Koch, 1836), is one of the most important pests strawberry production systems worldwide. Because plant resistance an integrated management strategy, present study investigated effects 12 genotypes on biological characteristics this pest under laboratory conditions (25 ± 2 °C and RH 60 10%; 12:12-hour photophase). experiment was carried usi...

Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) is a reliable and reproducible technique for measuring mRNA expression. To facilitate gene expression studies and obtain more accurate qRTPCR analysis, normalization relative to stable housekeeping genes is mandatory. In this study, ten housekeeping genes, including beta-actin (Actin), elongation factor 1 α (EF1A), glyceralde hyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (...

Above- and belowground plant parts are simultaneously attacked by different pests and pathogens. The host mediates these interactions and physiologically reacts, e.g. with local and systemic alterations of endogenous hormone levels coupled with coordinated transcriptional changes. This in turn affects attractiveness and susceptibility of the plant to subsequent attackers. Here, the model plant ...

The objective of our study was to compare the effects electron beam irradiation on development and reproduction Tetranychus urticae strains that were susceptible or resistant acequinocyl, bifenazate, etoxazole. Electron (50–400 Gy) applied T. eggs, nymphs, adults, after which hatching rate, emergence longevity, fecundity analyzed. Eggs all irradiated with 150 Gy, none them hatched. When protony...

In this study, in order to find novel biologically active pyrazole oxime compounds, a series of pyrazole oxime derivatives containing a 5-trifluoromethylpyridyl moiety were synthesized. Preliminary bioassays indicated that most title compounds were found to display good to excellent acaricidal activity against Tetranychus cinnabarinus at a concentration of 200 μg/mL, and some designed compounds...
