“…the two-spotted spider mite (Lourenção, Moraes, Passos, Ambrosano, & Silva, 2000;El-Shafei & Gotoh, 2010;Afifi, El-Laithy, Shehata, & El-Saiedy, 2010;Monteiro, Kuhn, Mogor, & Silva, 2014;González-Domínguez et al, 2015). Varietal resistance can be evaluated through the evaluation of factors such as mite behavior, level of inflicted plant injury (Petrova, Cudare, Steinite, & Laugale, 2000;Wold & Hutchison, 2003), developmental time, survivorship, fecundity, oviposition rate and life table parameters (Gugole Ottaviano, Sánchez, Roggiero, & Greco, 2013;González-Domínguez et al, 2015). Factors related to resistance to mite pests include morphological characteristics such as tissue thickness and density of trichomes (Handley, Ekbom, & Agren, 2005;Oku, Yano, & Takafuji, 2006;González-Domínguez et al, 2015), as well as the production of defense compounds, which often inhibit mite feeding (Steinite & Ievinsh, 2002;Figueiredo, Resende, Morales, Gonçalves, & Da Silva, 2013).…”
