Abstract
Integrated pest management relies upon the application of selective pesticides that do not hinder biological control. Phytoseiid mites represent an interesting case-study: they are amongst the most frequently used biological control agents and often are less affected by pesticides than their prey by natural tolerance or by developing resistance. The selectivity of a pesticide is determined by physiological processes that include metabolism, transport, and the affinity to the target-site. Genomic and transcriptomic studies start to elucidate the genetic and molecular mechanisms of differential toxicity in some phytoseiid species, such as a mutation in the sodium channel conferring pyrethroid resistance. Ecological selectivity is achieved by smart applications of pesticides and management practices that influence the persistence of phytoseiid mites on plants. Although modern pesticides often show lower acute toxicity, there is a need for robust assays and procedures that quantify lethal and sublethal effects, through different routes and times of exposure.
