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.}, type={Article}, title={Effects of water-based extracts of peppermint ( Mentha piperita L.) and French marigold (T agetes patula L.) on the transformation of larvae and nymphs of two-spotted spider mite ( Tetranychus urticae Koch)}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/129613/PDF-MASTER/OA_08_JPPR_63_4_1710_Jakubowska.pdf}, doi={10.24425/jppr.2023.147828}, keywords={immature stages, interactions, Mentha piperita, Tagetes patula, Tetranychus urticae}, }
