Abstract:

[Objectives]  To investigate the effects of chlorpyrifos on Tetranychus urticae Koch population dynamics, specifically the sublethal effects of chlorpyrifos on the development, survival rate and reproduction of T. urticae. [Methods]  Toxicity was tested using the pestdipping method and the sublethal effects of chlorpyrifos determined by means of life tables. [Results]  Female fecundity, adult female longevity, Fhatchability, and the sex ratio of T. urticae treated with a sublethal concentration (LC25) of chlorpyrifos were not significantly different to those of the control, however, the net reproductive rate, intrinsic rate of natural increase, finite rate of increase, and population doubling time, were all significantly lower than those of the control. Female fecundity, net reproductive rate, and mean generation time of T. urticae nymphs treated with a sublethal concentration (LC25) of chlorpyrifos were significantly higher than those of the control, but the intrinsic rate of natural increase, finite rate of increase, and population doubling time, were not significantly different to those of the control. A dispersal test proved that chlorpyrifos strongly stimulated the dispersal of T. urticae. [Conclusion]  The results indicate that the sublethal effects of chlorpyrifos on T. urticae differed according to developmental stage, and that the dispersal stimulus of chlorpyrifos may be a factor influencing the resurgence of this mite.
