Laboratory Tests to Determine the Intrinsic Toxicity of Four Fungicides and Two Insecticides to the Predacious Mite Agistemus fleschneri

Laboratory tests showed that trifloxystrobin (Flint registered 50WG), myclobutanil (Nova registered 40WP), flusilazole (Nustar registered 50DF) and kresoxim-methyl (Sovran registered 50WG) were harmless to adult mites and did not affect adversely the reproductive capacity of Agistemus fleschneri (Su...

Summary:Laboratory tests showed that trifloxystrobin (Flint registered 50WG), myclobutanil (Nova registered 40WP), flusilazole (Nustar registered 50DF) and kresoxim-methyl (Sovran registered 50WG) were harmless to adult mites and did not affect adversely the reproductive capacity of Agistemus fleschneri (Summers) (Acari: Stigmaeidae). Among the insecticides evaluated, by the same technique, lambda -cyhalothrin (Warrior T registered 12%) and imidacloprid (Admire registered 24%) were also non-toxic.
