Common Product Names: Clever 50DF
What is it?
Hexythiazox is a selective acaricide belonging to the chemical class of thiazolidinone derivatives. It was developed to manage a wide range of mite species that affect agricultural crops, ornamentals, and fruit trees. Its selective action means it targets specific pests while minimizing harm to beneficial insects and the surrounding environment. The effects of Hexythiazox are not immediately visible as it targets the developmental stages of mites. Typically, a noticeable reduction in mite populations can be observed within 7 to 10 days after application. Hexythiazox is known for its residual activity, providing long-term control of mite populations.
How does it work?
Hexythiazox works by inhibiting the development of mite eggs, larvae, and nymphs. It interferes with the process of chitin synthesis, which is crucial for the mites' growth and exoskeleton formation. As a result, the immature stages of mites cannot progress to adulthood, leading to a decline in the mite population over time. This mode of action makes Hexythiazox a valuable tool in integrated pest management programs.
