Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Resistance of Tetranychus urticae Koch to bifenazate was recently linked with mutations in the mitochondrial cytochrome b Q(o) pocket, suggesting that bifenazate acts as a Q(o) inhibitor (Q(o)I). Since these mutations might cause cross-resistance to the known acaricidal Q(o)I acequinocyl and fluacrypyrim, resistance levels and inheritance patterns were investigated in several bifenazate-susceptible...
