Tomato leaf discs (3 cm × 3 cm) from the ′Solan Lalima′ variety were treated with these fungicides at the recommended doses using a modified leaf dip technique based on the of Helle and Overmeer (1985). Each leaf disc was immersed in the fungicide solution for</p><p>15 seconds, while control discs were dipped in distilled water. After air drying for three hours, the treated discs were placed upside down on a damp sponge within experimental trays. Concurrently, tomato plants of the same variety grown in a polyhouse were sprayed with the respective fungicides using the knapsack sprayer for the residual toxicity experiments. For each treatment and control, 600 gravid females of N. longispinosus (5 days old) were individually placed on the treated leaf discs over a water saturated sponge in plastic trays. Each treatment included two experimental setups. In the first setup, 300 gravid females were provided with T. urticae eggs ad libitum as prey, while in the second setup, 300 N. longispinosus females were provided with T. urticae protonymphs ad libitum for a 48-hour exposure period. Six plastic trays, each containing 50 tomato leaf discs, were used for each setup within a treatment. To observe the mortality of N. longispinosus females after the exposure period, the leaves were transferred using forceps onto a wet sponge placed in a Petri plate and examined under a binocular microscope. The predatory mite females that exhibited no appendage movement when touched were considered dead. A cohort of N 100. longispinosus eggs from each experimental setup were collected from the surviving females in each treatment and control group for further experiments.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F33119FFA5FF8527F6F80C221C60BA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
