Abstract:The bioassays of four acaricides against Panonychus citri (McGregor) from Beibei, Zhongxian, Wanzhou, Changshou, and Nanchong were conducted with slide-dip method. The Wanzhou population exhibited lowest LC50s for all acaricides in both 2005 and 2006 and thus it was considered as the susceptible population. Among other four field populations, Changshou population expressed highest LC50s for propargite with the values of 162.14 and 199.30μg/mL for 2005 and 2006, respectively. But the resistance factors were only 2.82 and 2.13 folds, respectively; the highest resistance level to amitraz was recorded in Beibei, and the LC50s in 2005 and 2006 amounted to 111.27 and 113.94 μg/mL, with resistance folds of 15.03 and 5.50, respectively; Nanchong population showed highest resistance level to diafenthiuron, and the LC50s in 2005 and 2006 amounted to 510.91 and 226.15μg/mL, with resistance folds of 15.25 and 6.83, respectively; Changshou was most insensitive to azocyclotin and the highest LC50s of 171.25 and 344.87μg/mL were obtained for 2005 and 2006, with the resistance folds of 6.03 and 25.35, respectively. The sensitivity difference of P.citri from different field populations to acaricides probably was related with local application status of acaricides.
