broad-spectrum acaricide | amitraz is also known as mite, diworm amidine, and fruit mite killing. It is a broad-spectrum formamidine acaricide, which is a moderately toxic acaricide. In 1971, Palmer (B.H.Palmer) and others reported its acaricide activity. In 1973, Boots Co.Ltd. recommended it as an acaricide. Chemical name: 1, 5-bis-(2, 4-dimethylphenyl)-3-methyl -1,3, 5-triazopentadiene -1,4, the original drug is white or yellow needle-like crystal, with the taste of some carbon amine, the density is 0.3, the melting point is 86~87 ℃, the vapor pressure is 506.6 × 10-7Pa at 20 ℃, and it is slightly soluble in water, soluble in various organic solvents such as xylene, acetone and methanol. It is stable to temperature and light under anhydrous conditions. Unstable under acidity. Non-flammable, non-explosive, long-term storage in humid places easy to decompose and deteriorate. It has the effects of contact killing, food rejection and repellent, as well as certain stomach poison, fumigation and internal absorption. It is effective for various insect states of Tetranychidae, but it is less effective for overwintering eggs. The efficacy period can reach 40~50 days. It is mainly used for fruit trees, vegetables, tea, cotton, soybeans, sugar beets and other crops to control various harmful mites. It also has a good control effect on psyllids, and is effective on some lepidopteran pest eggs. It also has a certain treatment effect on scales, aphids, cotton bollworms, red bollworms, etc., and can also prevent cattle, goats and bee mites. Amitraz can be mixed with organophosphorus, pyrethroids, abamectin and other pesticides, which has a synergistic effect and can expand the insecticidal spectrum. The mixed preparation includes 10.8% Avi Shuangjia EC. |
Monoformamidine | Monoformamidine is also known as mite killing amidine, mite lick, monoformamidine hydrochloride, egg mite double net, Tianhuan mite clear, Mite net, is an organic nitrogen broad-spectrum maim acaricide, which is a homolog of amitraz. Chemical name: N-(2, 4-xylenyl)-N′-methylformamidine. The products sold on the market are mostly monoformamidine hydrochloride, with a light yellow or brown liquid appearance, a density of 1.090~1.105, a pH value of less than 1, no combustion, and corrosive to metals. Pure product is white needle-like crystal with melting point of 163~165 ℃, soluble in water, acidic aqueous solution, slightly soluble in low molecular weight alcohol, insoluble in organic solvents such as benzene and petroleum ether. Stable to light and heat. It has contact killing and fumigation effects on harmful mites, and is effective on the insect state of each stage of the spider mite family. The efficacy is better at high temperature (above 22 ℃). The effect on overwintering eggs is poor. It mainly inhibits the activity of monoamine oxidase and induces excitation on non-cholinergic synapses of the central nervous system. Mites that are resistant to other acaricides are also effective. Monoformamidine can be mixed with organophosphorus and pyrethroid pesticides, which has a synergistic effect and can expand the insecticidal spectrum. It is mainly used to control plant-eating leaf mites and cotton aphids on various crops such as fruit trees, tea, cotton, vegetables, etc.; it can also be used to control livestock lice and bee mites. Poisoning to humans and animals, poisonous to fish. |
mechanism of action | amitraz has a variety of toxic mechanisms, mainly inhibiting the activity of monoamine oxidase, and inducing excitatory effects on non-cholinergic synapses in the central nervous system of mites. Harmful mites that are resistant to other acaricides also have higher activity. |
control object | is mainly used for fruit trees, vegetables, tea, cotton, soybeans, sugar beets and other crops to control a variety of harmful mites. It also has good efficacy against homoptera pests such as pear yellow wood lice and orange yellow whitefly, and can also be effective against the eggs of pear heart feeding worms and various noctuid pests. It also has a certain effect on aphids, cotton bollworm, red bollworm and other pests. It is effective for adult, mite, and summer eggs, but not for winter eggs. |
usage | (1) control of fruit, tea tree mites and pests. Apple spider mites, apple aphids, citrus red spiders, citrus rust mites, wood lice, tea tarsal mites, with 20% amitraz emulsifiable concentrate 1000~1500 times spray (100~200 mg/kg). The duration is 1 to 2 months. The tea half tarsal mites should be administered again 5 days after the first application to kill the young mites that are hatching. (2) control of vegetable mites. Eggplant, beans and red spiders are sprayed with 20% emulsifiable concentrate 1000~2000 times (effective concentration 100~200 mg/kg) when nymphs are in full bloom. Watermelon and wax gourd red spiders were sprayed with 20% emulsifiable concentrate 2000~3000 times (67~100 mg/kg) during the peak period of mites. (3) control of cotton mites. Cotton red spider was sprayed with 20% emulsifiable concentrate 1000~2000 times (effective concentration 100~200 mg/kg) during the peak period of eggs and mites. 0.1~0.2 mg/kg (equivalent to 2000~1000 times 20% EC). Used in the middle and late stages of cotton growth, it can also treat cotton bollworm and red bollworm. (4) Control of in vitro ticks and other pests in livestock. In vitro tick mites of livestock are sprayed or soaked with 2000~4000 times of 20% amitraz emulsifiable concentrate. Bovine scabies (except horses) can be rubbed with 20% amitraz emulsifiable concentrate 400~1000 times and washed. One time and two times of medicine bath, the interval is 7 days, the effect is good. Bee mites are sprayed with 20% emulsifiable concentrate 4000~5000 times. Spray 1000 times of 20% emulsifiable concentrate for environmental damage mites. |
precautions | (1) amitraz is used in high temperature and sunny weather, and the efficacy is poor when the temperature is lower than 25 ℃. (2) should not be mixed with alkaline pesticides (such as Bordeaux mixture, sulfur mixture, etc.). The crop is used up to 2 times per season. Do not mix with parathion for apple or pear trees to avoid medicinal damage. (3) stop using citrus 21 days before harvest, with a maximum usage of 1000 times. Cotton was stopped 7 days before harvest, with a maximum usage of 3L/hm2 (20% amitraz emulsifiable concentrate). (4) If the skin is in contact, it should be washed with soap and water immediately. (5) It is harmful to leaf burning on short fruit branches and golden crown apples. It is safer for natural enemies of pests and bees. |
