The mechanisms underlying insecticide and acaricide resistance in insects and mites are often complex, including additive effects of target-site insensitivity, increased metabolism and transport. The extent to which target-site resistance mutations contribute to the resistance phenotype is, however, not well

A high performance liquid chromatographic/atmospheric pressure chemical ionization-mass spectrometric (HPLC/APCI-MS) method has been developed for the determination of the pesticides diflubenzuron (1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(2,6-difluorobenzoyl)urea) and clofentezine (3,6-bis(2-chlorophenyl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine) in plums, strawberries and blackcurrant-based fruit drinks. Samples were homogenized with acetone, extracted into dichloromethane
A leaf disc bioassay was employed in the laboratory to assess the population responses of Tetranychus viennensis Zacher to clofentezine at three concentrations (LC(10), LC(25) and LC(50)) in three successive generations. Life-table parameters were calculated in each acaricide exposure regime

Metabolic and kinetic data on pesticides are now becoming an important part of the toxicological dossier required for product registration. In this paper the approach by one agrochemical company to generating such data is discussed. Metabolic data for the acaricide
Tetrazine pesticides are widely used for the treatment of crops in most EU countries and USA. However, data about the effect of environmentally realistic concentrations of biocides on the molecular stress response system in non-target organisms are absent. The aim
