Ethoxazole is a uniquely structured acaricide that not only effectively kills eggs but also provides effective control against larvae and nymphs at all developmental stages. It also exhibits long-lasting effectiveness and exhibits no cross-resistance with conventional acaricides.
Mechanism of Ethoxazole's Acaricide Control
Ethoxazole is a diphenyloxazoline derivative. Its primary mode of action is to inhibit chitin synthesis, inhibiting embryogenesis in mite eggs and the molting process from larvae to adults. It is effective against eggs and larvae, but not against adult mites. However, it has a strong sterilizing effect on female adult mites. Therefore, it is ideal for control during the early stages of a mite infestation. It is highly rain-resistant and has a long-lasting effect of up to 50 days.
Main Features of Ethoxazole
Ethoxazole is a non-thermosensitive, contact-acting, selective acaricide with a unique structure. It is not systemic and should be sprayed on the entire plant. For cotton leaves, spraying the underside of the leaves is more effective. Safe, highly effective, and long-lasting, it effectively controls mites resistant to existing acaricides. It also exhibits excellent resistance to rain washout, eliminating the need for re-application within two hours of application unless there is heavy rain.
Applications of Etoxazole
It is primarily used for controlling crops such as citrus, cotton, apples, flowers, and vegetables.
Targets of Etoxazole
It primarily controls red spider mites on apples and citrus. It also has excellent control effects on mites such as spider mites, Tetranychus urticae, Panonychus mites, Tetranychus cinnabarinus, and other mites found in crops such as cotton, flowers, and vegetables.
The Difference Between Etoxazole and Spirodiclofen
Currently, both etoxazole and spirodiclofen are long-lasting acaricides, effective against eggs and nymphs, but ineffective against adult mites. Both remain effective for over 30 days. However, some areas where spirodiclofen is used year-round have developed resistance to spider mites. Etoxazole is a long-lasting acaricide that has gained popularity in the past two years. Its effectiveness remains stable even in low temperatures. Both acaricides have a synergistic effect when combined with abamectin or adjuvants, and are most effective when used early in the onset of a mite infestation. This year, some cotton farmers have applied etoxazole or spirodiclofen once in May and June, keeping mite infestations low throughout the year.
Today, we introduce etoxazole, a product from Nanyang Longsheng Chemical Co., Ltd., which boasts a broad acaricide spectrum, high ovicidal activity, and a long-lasting effect, making it an ideal choice for controlling mites!
110 grams per liter of Etoxazole
Active ingredient content: 110 grams per liter
Formula: Suspension concentrate
Net content: 500 grams
Product Features:
1. Broad spectrum of mites: Etoxazole is a non-systemic acaricide with contact and stomach properties. It is effective against various mites that harm greenhouse vegetables, corn, cotton, wolfberry, fruit trees, and flowers.
2. High ovicidal activity: Etoxazole effectively controls all juvenile stages of mites (eggs, larvae, and nymphs), with particularly high ovicidal activity. It also has a strong sterilizing effect on adult female mites, reducing the population base of the next generation of mite pests.
3. Long-lasting effect: Etoxazole is effective for over 30 days on corn, cotton, vegetables, and ornamental plants, and up to 40-50 days on fruit trees, reducing the frequency of application.
4. Effective even at low temperatures: Ethioxazole demonstrates strong control against the eggs of target mite pests under varying temperatures.
5. Rainwater resistance: Ethioxazole is highly resistant to rainwater washout. Even after rainfall, sufficient residue remains on leaves to achieve its intended control effect. Therefore, spraying before a rainy day eliminates the need for re-spraying afterward.
6. High safety: Ethioxazole has minimal harm to many beneficial insects and mites, such as bees, aligning with the trend of green and environmentally friendly development. No crop damage has been reported.
7. No cross-resistance: Ethioxazole exhibits no cross-resistance with conventional acaricides and is highly effective against mites that have developed resistance to existing acaricides.
How to use etoxazole:
During the early stages of a mite infestation, apply etoxazole diluted 3,000-4,000 times in water. It effectively controls all stages of the mite larvae (eggs, larvae, and nymphs), with a long-lasting effect of 40-50 days. The effect is more prominent when used in combination with avermectin. For the occurrence of cotton spider mites in the middle and late stages of cotton cultivation, it is recommended to use etoxazole or spirocyclofen in combination with avermectin for prevention and control.
