Laboratory tests to determine the intrinsic toxicity of four fungicides and two insecticides to the predacious mite Agistemus fleschneri
Phytoparasitica 29 (3), 215-222
Abstract: Laboratory tests showed that trifloxystrobin (Flint® 50WG), myclobutanil (Nova® 40WP), flusilazole (Nustar® 50DF) and kresoxim-methyl (Sovran® 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, delta -cyhalothrin (Warrior T® 12%) and imidacloprid (Admire® 24%) were also non-toxic.
