Six kinds of insecticides, fenpropathrin, dicofol, milbemectin, tebufenpyrad, monocrotophos and propargite, were selected for investigating LC50s to local two spotted spider mite(TSSM) strains. The TSSMs were collected from peach (Cheongdo area) and apple orchards (Chungju, Kunwi and Sobo areas) in 2005, from strawberry plastic house (Nonsan and Damyang areas) in 2006 for experiment and some insecticides selected TSSM strains for more than 20 generations were also used. Each strain was clustered by LC50 value got from six selected insecticides treatment. Every insecticide showed about three-fourfold LC50 difference among TSSMs caught in same area. There are no specific differences in LC50 patterns of TSSM to insecticides within peach orchard and among apple orchards. But TSSMs of apple orchard and peach orchard were clustered into different group each other. Grouping of selected TSSM strains with insecticides in lab artificially showed good relationship between action mechanisms of insecticides. In strawberry strains TSSM showed regional differences between Damyan and Nonsan. The TSSMs of Nonsan showed more resistance to Tebyfenpyrad and Propargite, but TSSM of Damyang was more resistant to fenpropathrin than that of Nonsan. The TSSMs selected with monocrotophos and bifenazate, known as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, and also pyridaben and chlorfenapyr, known as inhibitors of mitochondrial electron transportation, were grouped close respectively.
