| Abstract | ||
| Susceptibility and rates of development and reversion of resistance to insecticides in Amblyseius gossipi (El-Badry) were studied. The parent strains collected tom different locations showed no resistance towards any of the tested compounds. Beheira strain had the highest tolerance to the chemicals tested followed by Menofia and Kafr El-Sheikh. The predatory mite A,. gossipi acquired resistance to dicofol in generations 6 and 8. A similar trend was observed for detamethrin but to a lesser extent. Thiodicarb produced the least resistance. All the selected strains reverted to susceptibity at different rates. | ||
