Because of its lipophilicity and refractory character, the toxic effects of dieldrin may be carried throngh to the next generation. In one example, dosing of female small tortoiseshell bntterhies (Aglais urticae) with dieldrin led to an increased number of deformed adults emerging from pupae (Moriarty 1968).

Fenpyroximate exhibits acaricidal and knockdown activities on phytophagous mites, such as Tetranychus urticae Koch (two-spotted spider mite) and Panony-chus citrP in citrus, apple, pear, peach, grape, etc. Fenpyroximate inhibits the mitochondrial NADH-Co Q reductase, which induces a decrease in ATP content and morphological changes in mitochondria and ultimately shows the acaricidal and knockdown activities. ... 

Complementary and alternative medicine therapies, such as acupuncture, biofeedback, chiropractic manipulation, dietary supplements, herbal therapy, and homeopathic preparations, are used by individuals with allergic rhinitis.29,30 Use of bromelain, gingko, ginseng, licorice, quercetin, and Urtica dioica has been reported, but large-scale studies documenting efficacy are lacking.31,32 Caregivers should inquire routinely about patients use of alternative therapies and counsel patients about the lack of validated data to support such practices.12... 

Allergenic plants causing skin eruption by contact include poison ivy (Rhus radicans L.), poison oak (Rhus toxicodendron L.), poison sumac (Rhus vernix L.), and stinging nettle (Urtica dioica L.). In the United States, poison ivy and poison oak cause nearly 2 million cases of skin poisoning and skin irritation annually, for a loss of 333,000 working days. In addition, these weeds cause 3.7 million days of restricted activity among those people who are susceptible to the toxins (1).

Resistance to organotin acaricides has been reported in several populations of spider mites. After cyhexatin and fenbutatin oxide were used for 10 to 17 years on pears and apples to control mites, populations of McDaniel spider mite (Tetranychus mcdanieli), two-spotted spider mite (T. urticae), and European red mite (Panonychus ulmi) slowly began to develop strains that were resistant to these chemicals (Croft et al. 1987). 

Beneficial insects associated with fruit orchards show different responses to diflubenzuron treatment (Broadbent and Pree 1984). Lacewings (Chrysopa oculata) in contact with leaves containing 300 mg/kg DW had reduced survival and inhibited molting of first instar larvae, but the assassin bug (Acholla multispinosa) was not affected by contact with treated leaves. Lacewings and other beneficial predator insects fed diflubenzuron-treated, two-spotted spider mites (Tetrany-chus urticae) for 3 days showed no adverse effects after 14 days (Broadbent and Pree 1984).
