The experiment was carried out, under laboratory conditions (25 ± 1 °C, 60 ± 10% relative humidity and 16-h light) for the evaluation of responses of the spider mite against spiromesifen. The responses (mortality rate, sensitivity) of mite populations to pesticide were estimated by calculation of the mortality rate or effectiveness ratio (% Abbott), for three different concentrations (recommended, 1/2 and 1/4 of applied rate). According to effectiveness ratio, the mite species shows oversensitivity to eggs and immature stages for spiromesifen which were classified as harmful. Adults of T. urticae were found less susceptible to this acaricide. Spiromesifen was considered to be the most toxic to the eggs. Eggs hatching ratio has been reduced by almost 90–100% at the recommended and other applied concentra-tions at 36–72 h (0.5, 0.25 and 0.125 μL/mL). Spiromesifen was found to be highly toxic on eggs hatching ratio at 48 hours. The highest effectiveness ratios estimated for immature stages were 79, 89 and 98% for each concentration respectively (0.5, 0.25 and 0.125 μL/mL).

The life history parameters of T. kanzawai on six red bean genotypes (KS31288, KS31292, KS31287, KS31285, Akhtar and Goli) at 28 ± 1 oC, 50 ± 10% RH and a photoperiod of 16:8 (L: D) h were studied. The life table was constructed considering the female characters of the studied cohort. The developmental time of T. kanzawai differed among tested genotypes and ranged from 8.50 days on KS31285 to 9.77 days on KS31292. The highest and lowest value of immature survival rate were 0.85% on KS31285 and 0.77% on KS31287, respectively. The total fecundity varied significantly on different genotypes, being the highest on KS31288 (71.40 eggs) and the lowest on Akhtar (19.44 eggs). The mean generation time ( T ) was shortest on Akhtar (8.54 days) and longest on KS31288 (12.09 days). The lowest intrinsic rate of natural increase ( r m ) was recorded on KS31287 (0.229 day -1 ) and the highest values of this parameter were obtained on KS31288 (0.303 day -1 ).
