The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae), poses a significant threat to agricultural production due its herbivorous feeding habits and pesticide resistance. This study investigated the effects of sublethal concentrations chlorfenapyr (LC10, LC20 LC30) on development reproduction T. predatory mites Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot Neoseiulus californicus McGregor Phytoseiidae) under controlled laboratory conditions. Bioassay tests were conducted using...
