Potential insecticides for control of Oligonychus ilicis (McGregor) (Acari: Tetranychidae), a new threat to Australian horticulture
Australian Journal of Entomology 39 (2), 86-88
Abstract: Oligonychus ilicis (McGregor) is a new pest in Australian horticulture, but no chemical-control data have been gathered in Australia. As a first step to generating control data, a strain of O. ilicis was challenged under laboratory conditions by using a range of registered pesticides that are used in Australia against the two-spotted mite, Tetranychus urticae (Koch) and also CGA 140408 (the light-activated carbodiimide derivative of diafenthiuron). At a dose that would be expected to control T. urticae, O. ilicis was killed by aldicarb, bifenthrin, chlorpyrifos, CGA 140408, dicofol, omethoate, propargite, tau-fluvalinate and tebufenpyrad. The implications of these data on the field control of O. ilicis are discussed.
