The miticidal activity of silver nanoparticles towards date palm mite (Oligonychus afrasiaticus (McGregor)): efficacy, selectivity, and risk assessment

Abstract: Promising bioactivities of silver nanoparticles SNP urged researchers of different specialties to evaluate their field-respective activities. Bioactivity towards agricultural pests were the subject of limited publications. In the current study, SNP were synthesized and miticidal activity was evaluated towards old world date mite Oligonychus afrasiaticus (McGregor) (Acari: Tetranychidae) and an associated predatory mite Neoseiulus barkeri Hughes (Phytoseiidae). Under laboratory conditions, SNP displayed signifi… Show more

“…This increased contact could lead to a higher uptake of nanoparticles and subsequent toxicity [22]. The results of this study are consistent with many previous studies on several species of mites such as T. urticae mite [23], tomato russet mite Aculops lycopersici and two-spotted mite T. urticae [24] date palm mite (O.afrasiaticus (McGregor)) [10].…”

“…Nanosilver has been extensively studied for its miticidal activity against various pests. It has shown promising results in controlling the moving stages and eggs of phytophagous mites, including O. afrasiaticus [10]. Additionally, nanosilver has demonstrated selectivity towards pests while minimizing harm to non-target predatory mites, making it a potential environmentally friendly solution for date palm pest management [11].…”
