Overview

Laboratory analysis of three acaricides reveals reduced mortality and increased egg viability in Tetranychus urticae, implying compromised control.

Key Points

  • Mortality of Tetranychus urticae decreased to 77.5% after 30 minutes of UV-A irradiated Bifenazate exposure.
  • After 120 minutes, lethality was significantly reduced: 62.5% for Bifenazate, 22.5% for Clofentezine, and 12.5% for Spirodiclofen.
  • Acaricides exposed to UV-A led to higher egg viability, with treated groups showing 38-53% compared to 5-19% in controls.
  • Random application of these acaricides during sunny periods may undermine effective pest control, as UV-A exposure alters efficacy.
