“…Our results showed lethal effects of the lime sulfur on T. urticae although the lethal concentrations needed to control this mite were found to be far higher than the actual recommended field rates of 2% . Lime sulfur has been a common practice recommended as an alternative product capable of controlling multiple insect pests in the organic production of strawberries particularly the two‐spotted spider mite T. urticae and even more recently, the spotted‐wing drosophila , Drosophila suzukii . The toxic effects of the lime sulfur on mites can be attributed to the elemental sulfur and hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) released by the degradation of the lime sulfur after application .…”

BACKGROUND The application of lime sulfur is a common practice used to control arthropod pests in organic production of fruits. However, the unintended effects of this insecticide preparation on non‐targeted organisms have not received the adequate attention. Here, we evaluated the lime sulfur toxicity on the phytophagous mites Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae) and on two predatory mite species [i.e., Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor) and Phytoseiulus macropilis (Banks)] (Acari: Phytoseiidae) of natural occurrence in strawberry plants. We also assessed the repellency and potential effects on the oviposition rates and the egg viability of mites that were exposed to field‐used lime sulfur concentrations (i.e., 2%). RESULTS The lime sulfur exhibited higher toxicity to the predators N. californicus (LC50 = 5.4 [4.5%–6.8%]) and P. macropilis (LC50 = 5.0 [4.0%–6.5%]) than to the phytophagous T. urticae (LC50 = 12.4 [9.0%–17.1%]). However, the exposure to field‐applied concentrations resulted in higher reductions on the oviposition rate of T. urticae (36%) than on the predatory mites (N. californicus = 18%. P. macropilis = 19%). Interestingly, although the egg viability of P. macropilis was less affected (i.e., reduction of 50%) by such lime sulfur exposures, these mites were unable to avoid lime sulfur‐treated areas. Egg viability of N. californicus was only 18.6%. CONCLUSION Lime sulfur at field‐applied concentrations harmed T. urticae fecundity and fertility and it showed selectivity against naturally occurring predatory mites, which reinforces its potential as a tool for integrated mite pest management. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry

“…(Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) have been used as biocontrol agents of thrips (Chambers, Long, & Helyer, 1993), aphids (Solomon et al, 2001;Zhou, Zhu, Li, & Lei, 2006), spider mites (Toyoshima, 2006;Zhang, Zhu, Zheng, Lei, & Zhou, 2012) and young larvae or eggs of some lepidopterous insects (Bonte & De Clercq, 2011). However, little attention has been devoted to evaluate the influence of different host plants on efficacy of Orius spp.…”

“…Fathi host plants. The volatile compounds secreted by infested plants play an important role in the searching efficiency of predators (Solomon et al, 2001;Venzon, Janssen, & Sabelis, 2001Moayeri et al, 2006). For instance, Moayeri et al (2006) concluded that the predator Macrolophus caliginosus Wagner is differentially attracted to clean and TSM-infested green bean plants.…”

The density of TSM adults on Savalan, Agria and Morene was significantly lower than on Kondor and Diamant. In both no-choice and free-choice experiments, the females of the predator laid more eggs on TSM-infested leaves of Savalan (6 eggs/leaf and 24 eggs/plant) than on Agria, Morene, Kondor and Diamant. In predation rate experiments, the females of O. minutus consumed more TSM on the infested leaves of Savalan (32 TSM/predator during 48 hours) than on Agria, Morene, Kondor and Diamant. In performance experiments, the predator nymphs developed faster when reared on TSM-infested leaves of Savalan (16 days) than on Kondor and Diamant. Moreover, the survival rate, from egg to adult, of O. minutus on TSM-infested leaves of Savalan (52.8%) was better than on Kondor and Diamant. The fecundity of O. minutus reared on TSM-infested leaves of Savalan (11.7 eggs/female) was significantly higher than on Agria, Morene, Kondor and Diamant. The intrinsic rate of natural increase and the population growth rate of O. minutus were highest when reared on TSM-infested leaves of Savalan (r m = 0.089 day −1 and λ = 1.094 day −1 ). These results suggest that using Savalan cultivar integrated with O. minutus could result in improved efficacy of this predator and lead to effective and more sustainable management of T. urticae in potato fields.
