Abstract excerpt
The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, is a serious agricultural pest that has developed resistance to many pesticides. A leaf dip assay was used to assess the resistance of seven field populations of T. urticae to 11 pesticides in China. The mutation frequencies of target genes related to pesticide resistance were also determined. The results showed that all seven field populations had high or...
