HIGHLIGHTS
- Water-based extracts of Tagetes patula hinder transformation of larvae of T. urticae
- Ten percent extract from Mentha piperita inhibits development of nymphs on pea
- The extracts can be recommended for control of immature stages of T. urticae

ABSTRACT
The population dynamics of Tetranychus urticae (two-spotted spider mite – TSSM) are
influenced by environmental factors, which were investigated to identify methods limiting
the development and harmfulness of this pest. This paper presents findings from
a laboratory study on the effect of spraying with water-based extracts of Mentha piperita
and Tagetes patula plants on the growth rate of TSSM larvae and nymphs. The time required
for the transformation of the larvae into protonymphs was longer for T. patula water-
based extracts than extracts from M. piperita. Differences in the time of transformation
from the nymphal stage to adult TSSM were also observed depending on the plant waterbased
extracts, their concentration, and the host plant on which nymphs were developing.
The use of 100 g ∙ l-1 French marigold extract was associated with longer transformation
time of nymphs on discs of pea leaves than all tested concentrations of French marigold
extract applied to sugar beet leaves. Ten percent of the extracts from peppermint plants had
a stronger limiting effect on TSSM nymphs on pea leaves than on bean or sugar beet leaves.
