Currently, chemical method is deemed the most effective for plant protection against two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch. However, pest resistance when using chemicals for a long time remains among the main challenges. Rather short list of insectoacaricides approved for greenhouse farming in Russia aggravates the problem, since effectiveness of pest resistance control via rotation of pesticides decreases. One more thing is imported propagating material of ornamental crops infested by spider mites resistant to commonly used pesticides. Bifenazate is being successfully applied in different countries for phytophagous mite control. This work is the first rationale for the use of a novel acaricide Floramite® (bifenazate, 240 g/l) against spider mites in Russia. Our objective was to estimate the rate of Floramite®-resistance formation and cross-resistance to most used insectoacaricides in laboratory spider mite lines which are highly resistant to commonly used insectoacaricides. These lines were S-vniif (no contact to pesticides), S-floramite (derived from S-vniif to study resistance to Floramite® in the course of selection), R-vertimec (resistant to abamectin, R-fitoverm (resistant to aversectin C), R-talstar (resistabt to bifentrin), R-actellik (resistant to pirimiphos methyl), and R-BTB (resistant to bitoxibacilline biologicals based on Bacillus thuringiensis var. thuringiensis). The resistance ratios (RR50 and RR95) were calculated from the ratio of average lethal concentrations of LC50/LC50 and LC95/LC95 for the selected line and susceptible parental line. The ratio of 10-fold (RR50 = 10×) and higher values stand for true resistance, those less than 10-fold value stand for tolerant. We studied formation of Floramite® resistance for 3.5 years. As per our findings, the mites show more than 5000-fold resistance to Floramite® after 53 treatments with this acaricide during 120 generations (for the majority of the most known insectoacaricides maximum resistance appears during 17-25 generations). No cross-resistance to floramite is detected in the lab lines of mites resistant to bitoxybacillin (B. thuringiensis) and Vertimec® (abamectin), with 1.2-1.8-fold RR50, respectively. The mite lines resistant to fitoverm, Vertimec® and Actellic® show tolerance to Floramite® at RR50 of 2.8×, 2.9× and 3.6×, respectively. Thus, due to slow growth of T. urticae resistance to Floramite® and its potential in eradication of mite populations resistant to different pesticides, Floramite® should be approved in domestic protocols for greenhouse farming.
