Susceptibility to Acaricides and the Frequencies of Point Mutations in Etoxazole- and Pyridaben-Resistant Strains and Field Populations of the Two-Spotted Spider Mite, Tetranychus urticae (Acari: Tetranychidae)

SIMPLE SUMMARY: Tetranychus urticae Koch is a difficult-to-control pest due to its short life cycle and rapid resistance development. Strains exhibiting resistance to etoxazole or pyridaben exposure have been identified over the past 16 years We collected 8 T. urticae field populations from Korea. T...

Sumario:SIMPLE SUMMARY: Tetranychus urticae Koch is a difficult-to-control pest due to its short life cycle and rapid resistance development. Strains exhibiting resistance to etoxazole or pyridaben exposure have been identified over the past 16 years We collected 8 T. urticae field populations from Korea. The resistance ratios of the etoxazole- and pyridaben-resistant (ER and PR) strains were significantly higher than the susceptible strain. The ER and PR strains showed cross-resistance to several acaricides. In addition, the point mutations of the target site were detected in resistant populations. ABSTRACT: The two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch is a major agricultural pest worldwide and is known to rapidly develop resistance to pesticides. In the present study, we explored a field strain that was collected in 2000 and 2003 and has been exhibiting resistance to etoxazole and pyridaben over the last 16 years. The resistance ratios of the etoxazole- and pyridaben-resistant strains (ER and PR) to etoxazole or pyridaben were more than 5,000,000- and 4109.6-fold higher than that of the susceptible strain, respectively. All field-collected populations showed resistance to etoxazole and pyridaben. The ER and PR strains showed cross-resistance to several acaricides. Both I1017F and H92R point mutations were detected in 7 out of 8 field groups. Spirodiclofen and spiromesifen resulted in more than 77.5% mortality in the 8 field groups. In addition, the genotype frequency of the I1017F point mutation was 100.0% in the ER strain, and that of the H92R point mutation was 97.0% in the PR strain. All of the field populations were found to have a high frequency of I1017F. These results suggest that the observation of resistance patterns will help in designing a sustainable IPM program for T. urticae.
