Abstract
Resistance has developed in the tomato russet mite,Aculops lycopersici (Massee) to the organophosphate, methamidophos. Laboratory studies showed thatA. lycopersici which received methamidophos for 3 years was highly tolerant. In contrast, it was very susceptible to dicofol and pyridaphenthion, and susceptible to cypermethrin. Pyridaphenthion and dicofol had long residual activity whereas methamidophos and cypermethrin had shorter activity.
