Etoxazole

Type: Insecticide 

Mode of Action: Inhibiting chitin synthesis

Common Product Names: Zeal 

What is it?

Etoxazole is a potent acaricide and insecticide that specifically targets spider mites and other related mite species. It is highly effective in controlling mite populations in a variety of crops, including fruit trees, vegetables, and ornamental plants. Etoxazole is known for its selective action, meaning it primarily affects mites while being relatively safe for beneficial insects, making it an environmentally friendly option for integrated pest management (IPM) programs. Etoxazole is considered a residual insecticide, providing long-lasting control by preventing mite populations from rebounding for several weeks after application. The impact of etoxazole is not immediate but becomes evident within a few days as the mites fail to develop properly. Visible reductions in mite populations can typically be observed within 7-10 days after application.

How does it work?

Etoxazole works by inhibiting the synthesis of chitin, a crucial component of the exoskeleton in mites. When mites are exposed to etoxazole, they are unable to form a new exoskeleton during molting, which leads to their death. Additionally, it prevents adult mites from laying viable eggs, thereby curbing the reproduction and future population growth of mites. While etoxazole does not kill adult mites directly, it effectively controls the overall mite population by targeting the younger, more vulnerable stages of their life cycle.

Benefits

  • Long-Lasting Control: Residual action provides extended protection, reducing the need for frequent reapplications.
  • Low Mammalian Toxicity: Etoxazole has a low toxicity profile for mammals, making it safer for use in agricultural settings where human and animal exposure is a concern.
  • Effective at Low Doses: The potency of etoxazole allows for effective control at lower application rates, reducing the overall chemical load in the environment.
  • Prevents Reproduction: By inhibiting the production of viable eggs, etoxazole helps in controlling mite populations over the long term.
