Spiromesifen significantly reduced reproduction and population growth in two-spotted spider mites (Tetranychus urticae Koch) at concentrations of 1.8 mg/l and higher. Lower concentrations showed no significant sublethal effects on mite reproduction.

Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Entomology
  • Pest Management
  • Toxicology

Background:

  • The two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae Koch) is a significant agricultural pest.
  • Acaricide resistance necessitates evaluating new compounds like spiromesifen.
  • Understanding sublethal effects is crucial for effective pest management strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of spiromesifen on the reproductive parameters of Tetranychus urticae.
  • To determine the population-level effects of spiromesifen exposure.
  • To identify effective concentrations for controlling spider mite populations.

Main Methods:

  • Laboratory bioassays were performed using four concentrations of spiromesifen (180, 18, 1.8, and 0.18 mg/l).
  • Treatments were applied to quiescent deutonymphs and young pre-ovipositing females.

  • Reproductive parameters (fecundity, fertility) and population growth rates were measured.

    • Main Results:

    • Concentrations of 1.8 mg/l and higher significantly reduced gross fecundity, gross fertility, and net fertility.
    • The highest concentrations (180 and 18 mg/l) led to population decline.
    • The lowest concentration (0.18 mg/l) did not produce statistically significant sublethal effects.

    Conclusions:

    • Spiromesifen exhibits significant sublethal effects on Tetranychus urticae reproduction at concentrations of 1.8 mg/l and above.
    • Effective management of spider mites may be achieved using spiromesifen at these concentrations.
    • Further research into spiromesifen's long-term impact and resistance management is warranted.
