The toxicity of four acaricides and five synthetic pyrethroids against red spider mite, ((Tetranychus urticae Koch)) complex, was evaluated in the laboratory using the slide-dip technique. Mortality was recorded at 48 h post treatment and data were subjected to probit analysis. Based on the LC* values, the order of toxicity of the chemicals tested was as follows: amitraz deltamethrin = cypermethrin (Cymbush) = fenvalerate cypermethrin (Ripcord) permethrin bromopropylate = chinomethionate azocyclotin. The LC* value for amitraz was 2.5 ppm while for chinomethionate it was 37.5 ppm. Repeated tests on the toxicity of the pyrethroids using leaf-dip technique at the LC* and LC* values obtained earlier from the slide-dip technique revealed a lower level of mortality. The highest mortality obtained was 21.0 percent from fenvalerate treatment at the LC* value. Thus test techniques were found to give different toxicity values on the red spider mite.
