Evolving resistance patterns in Tetranychus urticae and Bemisia tabaci in Greece.
Article in Pest management science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPesticide resistance in agricultural pests remains a major barrier to effective and sustainable crop protection. In this study, we assessed the current resistance status of two key pests, Tetranychus urticae and Bemisia tabaci, in major agricultural regions of Greece. A total of 25 field populations (19 of T. urticae and six of B. tabaci) were collected between 2023 and 2025 and tested using single-dose bioassays and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) for target-site resistance mutations.
resultsThe results revealed significant variability in susceptibility to multiple acaricides and insecticides. Several T. urticae populations displaying reduced sensitivity to abamectin, hexythiazox, and fenpyroximate. Resistance mutations such as I321T (GluCl3), I1017F (CHS1), F1538I (vgsc), and G126S (cytb) were detected simultaneously at high frequencies in several T. urticae populations, indicating multi-resistant phenotypes. A widespread occurrence of F331W (ace1), L925I/T929V (vgsc), and A2083V (acc) mutations were recorded in B. tabaci, showing the dynamics of resistance to organophosphates, pyrethroids, and ketoenols, respectively.
conclusionOur findings underscore the ongoing evolution of resistance in these pests and highlight the need for integrated management strategies that include regular resistance monitoring and judicious pesticide use. This study provides resistance surveillance data to guide pest control decisions and promote sustainable Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in Greece. © 2025 The Author(s).
