Abstract

Spider mites are generally controlled by synthetic acaricides, all of which
offer effectively, but there is considerable interest in reducing or eliminating the use of
synthetic pesticide to reduce the risk of residues on vegetable products, or to enable
qualification for organic certification.~Abalon 40 cm3/100 liter water), (8yby 200
cm3/100 liter water), (Akoafol 250cm 1100 liter water), (Opieron 250 cm3/100 liter
water), (Medamek 40 cm3/100 liter water) and (Flwmait 50 cm3/100 liter water),
Provided the most consistent and timely suppression of spider mites over the test
period. Selective use of these miticides can prevent resistance and result in effective
management of the two-spotted spider mites. All of the treated plots were statistically
better than the untreated control. All families of true spider their activities densities are
reduced after spraying acaricides but can recovery quickly.
