Estudou-se o efeito de inseticidas/acaricidas na mortalidade de ovos e fêmeas adultas do ácaro rajado Tetranychus urticae Koch. Os experimentos foram conduzidos a temperatura de 27 ± 2,0ºC, umidade relativa de 67 ± 6,0% e fotofase de 12h, utilizando-se 50% das dosagens recomendadas para os ingredientes ativos dos produtos Fempropatrina (114 mg/L), Piridabem (94 mg/L), Profenofós (625 mg/L), Bifentrin (45 mg/L) e Dicofol (925 mg/L). Discos de folhas de feijão de porco ( Canavalia ensiformes D.C.), com 3,5 cm de diâmetro cada (contendo 30 ovos), foram imersos nas respectivas caldas e na testemunha (água destilada) durante cinco segundos e secos em temperatura ambiente por 30 minutos. A mortalidade dos ovos foi determinada 96h após a aplicação dos produtos, mediante à quantificação do número de larvas eclodidas. Na avaliação do efeito dos inseticidas/acaricidas sobre adultos, discos de folhas de feijão de porco foram infestados com 15 fêmeas nos intervalos de 0, 24, 48 e 72h após a aplicação. A mortalidade foi avaliada com 24 e 72h após cada infestação. Todos os agrotóxicos proporcionaram 100% de mortalidade de ovos do ácaro rajado, exceto Fempropatrina (eficácia de 89,3%). Nos quatro tempos de infestação, Profenofós, Bifentrin e Dicofol provocaram mortalidade de fêmeas adultas acima de 90%, com 24h de exposição. Piridabem causou mortalidade de 93,3% (tempo 0), 86,7% (24 e 48h) e 63,3% (72h). Fenpropatrina com 24h de exposição apresentou desempenho diferente dos demais produtos, com mortalidade de fêmeas adultas de 68% (tempo 0), 77,3% (24h), 83,9% (48h) e 55% (72h). Com 72h de exposição todos os produtos aumentaram a sua eficácia, com a mortalidade variando de 82,7 a 100%. Concluiu-se que os produtos Profenofós, Bifentrin e Dicofol mostraram-se mais promissores no controle do ácaro rajado. Embora Piridabem e Fempropatrina não tenham apresentado o mesmo desempenho, também podem ser usados de forma criteriosa para evitar o aparecimento de populações resistentes. EFFECTS OF INSETICIDE AND MITECIDE ON EGGS AND ADULTS FEMALES OF TWOSPOTTED SPIDER MITE, Tetranychus urticae KOCH (ACARI: TETRANYCHIDAE) Abstract Inseticide/mitecide effects on eggs and adult females of twospotted spider mite Tetranychies urticae Koch was evaluated. Experiments were carried at 27 ± 2°C under 68 ± 6% relative humidity and 12h photophase. Fenpropathrin (114 mg/L), Pyridaben (94 mg/L), Profenofos (625 mg/L), Bifenthrin (45 mg/L) and Dicofol (925 mg/L) were used at 50% of recommended dose of active ingredient. Canavalia ensiformes D. C. leaf discs, d = 3,5 cm, with 30 eggs each, was dipped in the respective solution and water (control), for 5 seconds, and dried at room temperature for 30 minutes. Eggs mortality was determined 96h after pesticide application, by the number of larvae hatched. In the adults effects, leaf discs were infested with 15 females at 0, 24, 48 and 72h after insecticide/mitecide application. Mortality was evaluated 24 and 72h after each infestation, being considered died those that were immobile after being lightly prodded with a fine soft pointed tip brush. All the agrochemicals caused 100% of mortality on the eggs of the twospotted spider mite, except Fenpropathrin with 89.3%. In the four times of infestation, Profenofos, Bifenthrin and Dicofol, caused upper 90% of mortality, 24h after exposition. Pyridaben caused 93.3% (t = 0), 86.7% (t = 24, 48h), and 63.3% (t = 72h). Fenpropathrin with 24h of exposition showed an abnormal result when compared to the others pesticides, that caused 68% (t = 0), 77.3% (t = 24), 83.9% (t = 48), and 55% (t = 72h) of mortality. All pesticides increased their performance, ranging from 82.7 to 100%, 72h after exposition. It was concluded that the products Profenofos, Bifenthrin and Dicofol showed to be more promising on the control of the twospotted spider mite. Although Pyridaben and Fenpropathrin didn’t show the same performance, they can be also used in a criterious way to avoid the emergence of resistant populations.

The oviposition response of the twospotted spider mite (TSSM), Tetranychus urticae Koch, to direct treatment and residues of fenvalerate and permethrin on soybean was examined in the laboratory. Contact with pyrethroid residues (120 ppm) reduced eggs per mite-day for 72 h, then oviposition rates returned to normal. Most eggs (99%) on the control leaflets were oviposited directly on the leaf surface, while 83% and 78% of the eggs in the fenvalerate and permethrin treatments were suspended off the leaf surface onto trichomes, cage walls or in the silk webbing. Oviposition rate on untreated soybean foliage following five days on pyrethroid residues was essentially the same for all TSSM; however, the mites previously exposed to fenvalerate or permethrin residue still oviposited 85% and 37% of their eggs off the untreated leaf surface, respectively. A 120 ppm concentration of fenvalerate directly applied to TSSM resulted in 83% and 100% mortality after 24 h and 48 h and no oviposition. A similar direct exposure to permethrin (120 ppm) resulted in 54% mortality after 48 h, and a 58.5% reduction in eggs per mite-day. Direct exposure to a lower dosage rate (12 ppm) caused little mortality but significantly reduced the number of eggs produced in both fenvalerate and permethrin treatments for 48 h. Oviposition returned to normal after 72 h.

Abstract Pesticides commonly applied to the foliage of peanuts in North Carolina were evaluated under field conditions for their effect on the twospotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch. Most fungicides caused a higher mite increase than insecticides on NC 2 peanuts. When fungicides and insecticides were tank mixed or applied on alternate weeks, mite outbreaks occurred. These outbreaks were followed by severe injury to the foliage and finally defoliation and yield reductions. Among the fungicides applied only Du-Ter and Copper Count failed to cause significant mite damage even when combined with an insecticide. Since mites failed to develop on untreated peanuts following six or more mite releases during the season, it was apparent that pesticides predispose peanuts to spider mite buildup and damage.
