Biopesticide transplant dips and foliar acaricide applications for control of cyclamen mite (Phytonemus pallidus) in strawberry.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Cyclamen mite (Phytonemus pallidus) causes injury to new growth of strawberry plants and is difficult to control because it is protected by folded leaves and plant crowns. Since cyclamen mite is easily transferred from strawberry nurseries to fruiting fields, dipping transplants in biopesticides may reduce initial populations. However, cyclamen mite numbers at 1 and 3 months-after-planting, and yield and cyclamen mite injury to fruit in the following season did not differ among transplants immersed for 30 s in Captiva® Prime, EcoTrol® EC, Landscape Oil, SuffOil-X® or Kopa Insecticidal Soap or the untreated control. Cyclamen mite is primarily controlled with foliar applications of acaricides, but there are few registered products. In greenhouse experiments, fenazaquin and pyridaben reduced cyclamen mite numbers by more than 90% in new leaves compared to the control, similar to that of the standard abamectin. New leaf injury ratings were reduced from 1 on average (scale of 0-3; 0 = no injury) pre-application to 0.25-0.5 for fenazaquin, pyridaben, and abamectin-treated plants compared to increasing to 2 for control plants 2 weeks after application. Spiromesifen and chlorfenapyr reduced cyclamen mite numbers in folded leaves in one greenhouse experiment. In the field, all acaricides reduced cyclamen mite numbers by 90-99% at 2- and 6-weeks post-application and by 75-90% at 10 months post-application. Abamectin and pyridaben resulted in 0.5-1.0% of strawberries with cyclamen mite damage compared to 3.0% for the control. All acaricides except chlorfenapyr improved strawberry yield and size. Overall, fenazaquin, pyridaben and spiromesifen should help diversify the chemical toolbox for cyclamen mite in field strawberry.
