Laboratory trials of 27 citrus pesticides on the phytoseiid mite Euseius stipulatus (Athias-Henriot)
The pesticides usually applied in Spanish citrus orchards have been tested in laboratory on the predatory mite E.stipulatus, the main natural enemy of the citrus red mite. Twenty seven pesticides have been classified in safe, and slight, moderate or very harmful for the predator. The mortality of treated females gives in general a good estimate of the pesticide effect, but with fenbutatin, fosmet and diazinon further biological parameters as fecundity of surviving females or mortality of resulting immatures should be assessed. A comparison with previous field trials shows similar or coincident results in most cases, with a few exceptions that are discussed.

Egyptian Academic Journal of Biological Sciences, F. Toxicology & Pest Control, 2015
The journal of Toxicology and pest control is one of the series issued twice by the Egyptian Academic Journal of Biological Sciences, and is devoted to publication of original papers related to the interaction between insects and their environment. The goal of the journal is to advance the scientific understanding of mechanisms of toxicity. Emphasis will be placed on toxic effects observed at relevant exposures, which have direct impact on safety evaluation and risk assessment. The journal therefore welcomes papers on biology ranging from molecular and cell biology, biochemistry and physiology to ecology and environment, also systematics, microbiology, toxicology, hydrobiology, radiobiology and biotechnology. www.eajbs.eg.net Provided for non-commercial research and education use.

Experimental and Applied Acarology, 2014
Acetogenins, a class of natural compounds produced by some Annonaceae species, are potent inhibitors of mitochondrial electron transport systems. Although the cellular respiration processes are an important biochemical site for the acaricidal action of compounds, few studies have been performed to assess the bioactivity of acetogeninbased biopesticides on spider mites, mainly against species that occur in orchards. Using residual contact bioassays, this study aimed to evaluate the bioactivity of an ethanolic extract from Annona mucosa seeds (ESAM) (Annonaceae) against the citrus red mite Panonychus citri (McGregor) (Acari: Tetranychidae), an important pest of the Brazilian citriculture. ESAM is a homemade biopesticide which was previously characterized by its high concentration of acetogenins. It caused both high mortality of P. citri females (LC 50 = 7,295, 4,662, 3,463, and 2,608 mg l -1 , after 48, 72, 96, and 120 h of exposure, respectively) and significant oviposition deterrence (EC 50 = 3.194,80 mg l -1 ). However, there was no effect on P. citri female fertility (hatching rate). In addition, the ESAM efficacy (in terms of its LC 90 ) was compared with commercial acaricides/insecticides (at its recommended rate) of both natural [Anosom Ò 1 EC (annonin), Derisom Ò 2 EC (karanjin), and Azamax Ò 1.2 EC (azadirachtin ? 3-tigloylazadirachtol)] and synthetic origin [Envidor Ò 24 SC (spirodiclofen)]. Based on all of the analyzed variables, the ESAM exhibited levels of activity superior to other botanical commercial acaricides and similar to spirodiclofen. Thus, our results indicate that ESAM may constitute a biorational acaricide for citrus red mite integrated pest management in Brazilian citrus orchards, particularly for local use.
Impact of citrus thrips chemical treatments on the predatory mite Euseius tularensis
Journal of Applied Entomology, 2006
The impacts of four pesticides used for control of citrus thrips, Scirtothrips citri (Moulton), were evaluated in both field and laboratory populations of a predaceous mite, Euseius tularensis Congdon. Abamectin and chlorfenapyr had the least impact of pesticides evaluated on a field population of E. tularensis and predaceous mite levels mirrored those observed in the untreated control but at a slightly depressed level. Spinosad reduced predaceous mites somewhat but they recovered to 50% of the level in the untreated control by the end of the trial. Mite populations were low throughout the trial in plots treated with cyfluthrin. As an overall summary statistic, cumulative predator mite-days ranged from 73.6% of the level observed in the untreated control with abamectin to 67.1% with chlorfenapyr, 36.8% with spinosad and 11.7% with cyfluthrin. Three additional field trials confirmed abamectin's minimal impact. In laboratory studies of adult female mite mortality on field-weathered, pesticide-treated leaves, cyfluthrin caused high mortality on day 1 after treatment and all mites that were not killed were driven off leaf discs until day 21. When mites were placed on leaf discs 1 day after treatment with abamectin, spinosad, or chlorfenapyr, 67.5% of the mites died on chlorfenapyr discs. By 7 days after treatment, no material but cyfluthrin showed a significant impact. Implications to citrus integrated pest management are discussed.
Efficacy evaluation of seven acaricides, i.e. Acarine (Abamectin 5% EC), Gat Fast (2% Abamectin + 10% Thiamthoxam (12% SC)), Ortis Super (Fenpyroximate 5% EC), Concord (Chlorfenapyr 24% EC), Perfect (2% Abamectin + 10% Chlorfenapyr (12% EW)), Micronet S (Sulfur 80% WP) and Acarots (Fenpyroximate 5% SC) at recommended dose (RD), against the brown spider mite, Eutetranychus orientalis (Tetranychidae) and its predatory mite, Euseius scutalis (Phytoseiidae), was applied on citrus crop in Assiut Governorate under field conditions. Three assorted exposure eras: three days, one week and two weeks, were achieved in May 2018. It was found that a total reduction rate of these 7 acaricides against E.

The experiments were conducted to learn about the relative toxicity of insecticides against the two parasite wasps of citrus leafminer (CLM), Phyllocnistis citrella. The relative toxicity of 12 common insecticides against the eggs and first instar larvae of the pest, and its parasitoids of Chrysocharis pentheus and Sympiesis striatipes, which are dominant species in Ehime Prefecture, was compared in 2003. Corrected mortalities were evaluated by dipping or spraying methods for the CLM eggs and larvae, and by clip-cage bioassay for the parasitoid wasps. All the insecticides tested showed almost over 90% mortality to the first instar larvae of citrus leafminer, but a lesser effect to the eggs. Against the adult parasitoids, imidacloprid (a.i. 0.005%), thiamethoxam (a.i. 0.003%) and acetamiprid (a.i. 0.005%) of the nicotinoide insecticides were less toxic, but dinotefuran (a.i. 0.02%) showed rather high mortalities. Of the IGRs, teflubenzuron (a.i. 0.05%) and diflubenzuron (a.i. 0.012%) were safe or less toxic to adult wasps. These three nicotinoide and two IGRs insecticides will be suitable candidates for use in the IPM program. Isoxathion (a.i. 0.025%) and primiphose-methyl (a.i. 0.056%) of the organophosphate and alanycarb (a.i. 0.04%) of carbamate were highly toxic. Bifenthrin (a.i. 0.0015%) of the pyrethroid and petroleum oil (a.i. 1.05%) were moderate in toxicity. Clothianidin (a.i. 0.005%) of the nicotinoide showed low toxicity to Chrysocharis pentheus but moderate toxicity to Sympiesis striatipes.

The citrus brown mite, Eutetranychus orientalis (Klein), is one of the most injurious pests of fruits, vegetables and ornamental plants worldwide. The objective of this study in order to evaluate the repellency and toxicity effect of two essential oils against E. orientalis. Essential oils were extracted of aqueous extracts from rosemary, Rosmarinus officinalis L. herbs and coriander, Coriandrum sativum L. fruits. Five concentrations 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4% were used for each essential oil. The chemical composition of the essential oils was characterized by GC. The results indicated that there were significant differences in efficiency of the tested essential oils on the developmental stages of E. orientalis. The coriander was the most toxic for controlling the egg stage, larval, nymphal and adult stages of E. orientalis than rosemary. Coriander oil was the most potent oil tested eggs (LC50= 1.26 and LC90= 4.82), while rosemary oil were the least toxic oil tested on eggs (LC50=1.49 and ...
