Abstract
The responses of European red mite (ERM) strains to propargite were de termined by using discriminating concentration (DC) and multiple conce ntration test techniques. In determining levels of resistance both tec hniques provided similar conclusions. Propargite resistance was found in two of the 11 field-collected ERM strains tested. The major advanta ges of using a DC were less time and fewer individuals required than f or a multiple concentration test. Procedures for conducting DC resista nce tests are recommended.
