Chemically mediated arrestment of the predaceous mite Phytoseiulus persimilis by extracts of Tetranychus evansi, Tetranychus urticae. Experimental and Applied Acarology, 1: 127-138.

Abstract
Since Tetranychus evansi had been observed to be unfavourable as prey for several species of phytoseiids, a study was conducted to determine the possible existence of an allomone produced by this species against Phytoseiulus persimilis. P. persimilis was, however, strongly arrested by extracts of eggs, adults, (especially) webbing plus excreta of T. evansi. Methanol extracts of T. urticae showed a stronger arrestment than those of T. evansi
