Tetranychus urticae Koch is a formidable pest on  numerous economically important crops. Application of acaricides is a cardinal part of most mite management programs globally. However, due to intrinsic biological characteristics of T. urticae and over reliance of acaricides, T. urticae has developed resistance to acaricides with different mode of actions. This presentation highlights recent progress in the elucidation of acaricide resistance mechanisms in T. urticae and the spread of resistance across different crops and geographies.
