How does McGregor respond to sublethal doses of entomopathogenic fungus (Hyp.: Cordycipitaceae)?

Two-spotted spider mite, Koch (Acari: Prostigmata), is one of the most economically important mite species, mainly controlled by chemical acaricides. Natural enemies have been assessed as reliable alternatives for management of this phytophagous mite. In the current project, demographic characteristics of McGregor (Acari: Phytoseiidae) to sublethal concentrations (LC = 6.

Biological responses of (Acari: Tetranychidae) to sub-lethal concentrations of the entomopathogenic fungus .

Tetranychus urticae (Acari: Tetranychidae) is one of the most important pests of agricultural crops with worldwide distribution causing considerable damage to different products. Application of chemical acaricides is one of the most important strategies used for the control of this pest. Entomopathogenic fungi, however, have been proposed as alternative control agents.
