Abstract
The effects of Margosan-OTM, AzatinTM and RD9-Repelin on the phytophagous miteTetranychus cinnabarinus (Boisd.), the predacious miteTyphlodromus athiasae, and the predatory spiderChiracanthium mildei were studied and compared in laboratory experimentsr.-No toxic effect of any of these neem formulations was observed onC. mildei. Margosan-O and Azatin were not toxic to eitherT. cinnabarinus orT. athiasae, but RD9-Repelin was highly toxic to both the phytophagous and the predacious mite.
