Mites control

This comprehensive definition makes it elear that a wide number of substances may be eonsidered to be pestieides, and that the eommonality among all pestieides is their ability to provide eontrol over pests. A variety of classifications for pesticides have been developed that are specific for the type of pest controlled. Insecticides, for example, are pesticides that control insects, while herbicides control weeds and fungicides control plant diseases (molds). In addition to these major classifications of pesticides, there are many other classifications. These include nematicides (for nematode control), acaracides (mite control), rodenticides (rodent control), molluscicide (snail and slug control), algacides (algal control), bacteriocides (bacterial control), and defoliants (leaf control). 

A pioneering study by Baker and Krantz (1984) demonstrated the use of an alarm pheromone for R. robini (identified at the time as neral (2) plus geranial (6)) in combination with acaricides for mite control. The results appeared promising in principle, but in practice, use of mite alarm pheromones for control of pests infesting stored products may not be feasible because of the strong and often offensive odors and flavors of the compounds.

MAJOR USES Used in agriculture as an acaricide for spider mite control, acaricide for citrus crops, cotton, fruits and nuts used in hives against the bee mite synergist for DDT. 

Pliytopliagous mites are important pests in many cropping systems worldwide, e.g., fruits, vegetables, grapes, and ornamentals. A major problem in their control is their high reproductive potential and the extremely short life cycle, both of which facilitate rapid resistance development to many acaricides, often after only a few applications. Therefore, the history of spider mite control is a head-to-head... 

Included in the key considerations for mite control are (a) a high degree of efficacy on several growth stages and (b) a lack of cross-resistance with acaricides...
