Laboratory based relative pesticide efficacy against cyclamen mite, Phytonemus pallidus (Banks) (Acari: Tarsonemidae)

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article

Abstract

This is the first instance of laboratory pesticide testing of Phytonemus pallidus. Six pesticides and two horticultural spray oils were evaluated under laboratory conditions against P. pallidus, using a Potter spray tower. Pesticide toxicity fell into three distinct groups, the antibiotic abamectin, conventional miticides and oils. Both oils proved ineffective, and a heterogeneous response was demonstrated against these latter products.
