Abstract:Insecticides used against potato leafhopper, Empoasca fabae (Harris) (Homoptera: Cicadellidae), have been reported to cause problems with maple spider mite, Oligonychus aceris (Shimer) (Acarina: Tetranychidae), on nursery-grown 'Red Sunset' red maple and 'Autumn Blaze' Freeman maple. To test this, we conducted two experiments on field-grown trees in nurseries. In the first, the effects of early-season pesticide applications were examined during 2009. The second experiment was conducted in 2010 to compare effec… Show more
“…Insecticidal applications that are used to control key pests like flatheaded appletree borer sometimes increase secondary non-target pests through reductions in their natural enemies. Prado et al (2014) found early-season insecticides for potato leafhopper (especially the pyrethroid, bifenthrin), as well as maple cultivar, were factors in increased abundance of maple spider mites in maple production plots. Ambrosia beetles prefer to attack stressed maple trees.…”
