Biological control mitigates oxidative stress induced by Tetranychus urticae (Koch) (Acari: Tetranychidae) in cucumber plants
Intensive cucumber cultivation favors the occurrence of pests, particularly Tetranychus urticae (Koch) (Acari: Tetranychidae), which causes damage to leaf tissues, impairing photosynthesis and cellular integrity. Management of this pest is commonly based on chemical control; however, this strategy may intensify oxidati...
