Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract The predatory mite Neoseiulus reductus is widespread in Europe in temperate countries. It lives on berry crops, including black currants, where it is a natural predator of eriophiid and spider mites. In the territories of the Moscow and Orenburg regions, a search was carried out and the main biological features of feeding on the currant leaf mite Anthocoptes ribis were studied. The biotic potential when feeding on currant leaf mites is 0.170. The sensitivity of the predatory mite to the main pesticides used in protected ground was assessed. 3 groups of pesticides have been established according to the degree of danger to predatory mites. Dangerous include Fitoverm, EC (aversectin), Admiral, EC (pyriproxifen). Moderately dangerous is Actara, WDG (thiamethoxam). Less dangerous are Confidor Extra, WDG (imidacloprid), Mospilan, PS (acetamiprid), Vertimec EC (abamectin).
