Mechanisms of Acaricide Resistance with Emphasis on Dicofol

  • Chapter
Pest Resistance to Pesticides

Abstract

Resistance in mites to acaricides was first observed by Compton and Kearns in the two-spotted spider mite when it developed resistance to ammonium potassium selenosulfide (Selecide®) in 1937. The introduction of organophosphorus acaricides in 1947, first TEPP and later parathion, resulted in the virtual elimination of mites in greenhouses. Resistance to parathion and TEPP became evident in 1949, and by 1950 resistant mites were present in a large percentage of rose houses in the eastern United States (Jeppson et al., 1975).
