TL;DR: The ET developed here is strongly supported through soybean growth stage R5, which provides a 7-d lead time before aphid populations are expected to exceed the economic injury level (EIL) and exposes a larger portion of the soybean aphid population to selection by insecticides, which could lead to development of insecticide resistance.

TL;DR: Mixtures of Metaseiulus occidentalis and Typhlodromus pyri Scheuten inoculated into apple trees gave as good or better biological control of European red mite Panonychus ulmi Koch and twospotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae than did similarly sized populations of either predatory mite alone.

TL;DR: The resistance documented in this study indicates that there has been repeated selection pressure for pyrethroid resistance in some soybean aphid populations, and integrated pest management and insecticide resistance management should be practiced to slow further development of soy bean aphid resistance to pyrethroids.

TL;DR: In 1990, Metaseiulus occidentalis was the dominant phytoseiid in mixed-species release plots in 1990, but T. pyri was more common in 1991 as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The objective of this research was to relate spring low-level jet streams to intensity of M. persicae flight activity and current season spread of PLRVand PVY in seed potato.
