“…The immediate short term effect is likely to be even higher, as the estimates from the above studies were usually measured from 3 to 7 days or more after the insecticide application, which would allow for reinvasion of these species from surrounding unsprayed areas. Our estimates of survival are also based on several studies showing that standard application rates of pyrethroids have minor lethal effects on spider mites (Roush and Hoy, 1978;Rock, 1979;Penman and Chapman, 1988). Low early season densities of Geocoris eggs and mobile stages of Orius, support earlier observations (Gonzalez and Wilson, 1982;Trichilo and Leigh, 1986;Wilson et al, 1991b) that in terms of density, E occidentalis is the dominant biological control agent of spider mites on cotton at this time.…”

“…In either case, population growth is believed to be associated with an increase in fecundity and/or a decrease in developmental duration. A third possible mechanism is that some insecticides, specifically pyrethroids, function as repellents, causing spider mites to disperse to new areas (Iftner and Hall, 1983;Penman et al, 1986;Penman and Chapman, 1988;Berry et al, 1990). New areas are usually less crowded and thus have higher nutritional value than previous locations, which leads to increased reproduction (Wrench and Young, 1978).…”

A simulation model was used to as~ss the role of several mechanisms proposed to be responsible for spider mite outbreaks on cotton that are typically observed following applications of insecticides. Simulation results were compared to an outbreak that occurred after two pyrethroid applications on cotton in a controlled experiment in the San Joaquin Valley of California. In the model, physiological cffects were simulated by increasing spider mite fecundity and decreasing developmental duration, whereas loss of natural enemies was simulated by increasing spider mite age-specific survival. At the levels simulated, smwival had the greatest impact on maximum spider mite density, degree days (°D) to maximum density, and cumulative spider mite-°D, whereas fecundity had the least, and developmental duration had an intermediate effect. There were substantial two-way interactions anlong all three life history parameters, with age-specific survival having the most influence. Surviwd had the greatest effect on spider mite population dynamics when in combination with short development',d duration. The influence of developmental duration on maximum spider mite density was greater than comparable percentage changes in fecundity, an effect that was more pronounced at high than at low survival, Changing fecundity, developmental duration, or age-specific survival individually did not result in a spider mite outbreak of the magnitude observed in the field. However, changing these three parameters simultaneously, resulted in a simulated maximum density of 8.000/m 2. which represents a 12-fold increase over the untreated control, and closely mimicked the previously observed field outbreak. It is proposed that spider mite outbreaks on cotton following insecticide applications are not solely the result of physiological stimulation, but are rather due to several life history parameters being affected simultaneously, with natural enemy-mediated survival having the greatest individual impact. Implications of chemically-induced phenomena afflicting spider mite management on cotton are discussed. INTRODU(YFIONOutbreaks of herbivorous arthropods such as spider mites, Tetranvchus spp., following applications of insecticides, have received much attention (Bartlett 1968;~A copy of thc crop and herbivore simttlation models can be obtained by sending an IBM compatible disk to L.T.

“…Pyrethroid resistance has been reported in the important mite species Varroa destructor (National Bee Unit, 2013) and Sarcoptes scabiei (Andriantsoanirina et al, 2014). The use of pyrethroids has also been associated with increased numbers of T. urticae due to its toxicity against predatory mites of this species (Penman & Chapman, 1988).…”

Understanding the biology and control of the poultry red miteDermanyssus gallinae: a review

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Dermanyssus gallinae, the poultry red mite (PRM), is a blood-feeding ectoparasite capable of causing pathology in birds, amongst other animals. It is an increasingly important pathogen in egg layers and is responsible for substantial economic losses to the poultry industry worldwide. Even though PRM poses a serious problem, very little is known about the basic biology of the mite. Here we review the current body of literature describing red mite biology and discuss how this has been, or could be, used to develop methods to control PRM infestations. We focus primarily on the PRM digestive system, salivary glands, nervous system and exoskeleton and also explore areas of PRM biology which have to date received little or no study but have the potential to offer new control targets.

“…The consequence of disrupting natural enemy populations can be outbreaks of primary or secondary pests due to the loss of underlying biological control services (Raupp et al, 2010). Considerable work has documented this effect in field crops, orchards, vineyards, and landscape ornamentals (Penman & Chapman, 1988;Raupp et al, 2010). The effect is particularly prevalent among spider mites and scale insects that are not killed as easily as their natural enemies by insecticide applications.…”

“…Spider mites have many predators including lady beetles, predatory bugs, lacewing larvae, and predatory mites. Pyrethroids can promote outbreaks of spider mites indirectly by killing the natural enemies that otherwise help suppress spider mite populations (Penman & Chapman, 1988). Predatory mites in the family Phytoseiidae feed on spider mite eggs, juveniles, and adults and are effective at reducing spider mite abundance and damage on plants (McMurtry & Croft, 1997).…”
