Reviewer 2 Report
Please read the comments and provide explanation to questions directed to the Author/s. Why used only female mites in the experiments? Also in the experiments you used only negative control. Research like this you should have a positive control also that you could compared your results effectively against positive control results.
Simple Summary and abstract is similar.
Table 1 already discussed in the second paragraph of the Introduction section , why Table 1?
Table 2 also discussed in detail in page 5 see under sub heading 3.2. Mortality, oviposition growth rate ..........etc. Also Table 2 caption has no enough information if it is related to mortality, or egg deterrence etc.
I would suggest that statistical analyses should be check by an statistician if properly used and interpreted.
