To assess the effects of sublethal concentrations of 3 acaricides—Bifenazate, Etoxazole, and Azocyclotin—on the development and reproduction of Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae) and Polyphagotarsonemus latus Banks. Our results indicated that the LC₂₀ values of Bifenazate, Etoxazole, and Azocyclotin against T. urticae are 3.196, 25.249, and 32.387 mg/L, and against P. latus to be 18.058, 4.641, and 13.755 mg/L, respectively. Sublethal concentrations of these acaricides significantly impacted the development time, lifespan, and fecundity of both mite species. Among the acaricides, Azocyclotin significantly extended the immature developmental period of T. urticae and P. latus. All acaricides reduced the lifespan and fecundity of both species, with Etoxazole having the most substantial impact on the daily fecundity and reproductive of T. urticae.The intrinsic rates of natural increase (r_m) for T. urticae exposed to Bifenazate, Etoxazole, and Azocyclotin were 0.17, –0.04, and 0.20, respectively. For P. latus, the r_m values were 0.27, 0.23, and 0.25, respectively. These results suggest that under the exposure of sublethal acaricides, P. latus gained a competitive advantage in population competition. These findings underscore the importance of understanding the differential impacts of acaricides on various mite species to develop effective pest management strategies.
