Corey Chemical introduces Etoxazole, a highly effective and environmentally responsible acaricide for modern integrated pest management (IPM) programs. Developed by Sumitomo Chemical of Japan, this advanced oxazoline compound sets a new standard in mite control by targeting the most vulnerable life stages of pests while preserving beneficial insect populations.
A Unique Mode of Action for Resistance Management
Etoxazole works through a novel mechanism, primarily inhibiting embryonic development in mite eggs and disrupting the molting process from larvae to adults. It exhibits strong ovicidal and larvicidal activity, providing robust control during early infestation stages. Although it does not directly kill adult mites, it significantly reduces the viability of eggs laid by treated females. This unique profile makes Etoxazole an essential tool in managing mite populations that have developed resistance to other commonly used acaricides.
Key Benefits for Growers:
-
Long Residual Activity: Delivers up to 50 days of effective protection under field conditions.
-
Excellent Rainfastness: Strong adhesion and translaminar penetration ensure performance remains effective after rainfall.
-
High Efficacy at Low Rates: Recommended dilution rates of 5000–7500× reduce chemical input and application costs.
-
IPM-Compatible: Selective activity minimizes impact on beneficial insects and predatory mites, supporting sustainable farming systems.
-
Safety Profile: Classified as low toxicity to mammals, ensuring safety for applicators and the environment.
Broad-Spectrum Control
Etoxazole is effective against a wide range of economically significant phytophagous mites, including:
-
Panonychus citri (Citrus red mite)
-
Tetranychus urticae (Two-spotted spider mite)
-
Panonychus ulmi (European red mite)
-
Tetranychus cinnabarinus (Carmine mite)
-
Various Eotetranychus and other Tetranychus species.
Ideal for Multiple Crops
This miticide is recommended for use in citrus, apples, cotton, vegetables, and ornamental plants. For optimal results, applications should be made during the early stages of mite infestation, when populations are dominated by eggs and immature stages.
Application Guidelines
Etoxazole should be applied as a thorough spray to ensure direct contact with mites on foliage. It can be easily integrated into resistance management strategies by alternating with acaricides from different mode-of-action groups.
