COMMERCIALISATION
History Acaricide and insecticide reported by J. R. Tessier et al. (IUPAC Pestic. Chem., 1983, 5, 95). Introduced in France (1990) by Roussel Uclaf (now Bayer CropScience). Licensed to Cheminova in 2003. Patents EP 48186; FR 2486073 Manufacturers Bayer CropScience
APPLICATIONS
Biochemistry Acts on the nervous system of insects, disturbs the function of neurons by interaction with the sodium channel. Mode of action Contact and stomach action. Uses An ingested and contact acaricide effective against a wide range of phytophagous mites on citrus, cotton, fruit, hops, ornamentals, soya beans, tobacco, vegetables and vines. It also shows insecticidal properties, in particular with high efficacy on thrips species on fruit trees, vines and vegetables. Formulation types EC; EW; SC; WP.

MAMMALIAN TOXICOLOGY
Oral Acute oral LD50 for rats and mice >5000 mg/kg (for tech. in corn oil). Skin and eye Acute percutaneous LD50 for rats >2000 mg/kg. Non-irritating to eyes and skin of rabbits. Not skin-sensitising to guinea pigs. Inhalation LC50 (4 h) for rats 1.6 mg/l air. NOEL (90 d) for male rats 2.4 mg/kg b.w., for female rats 3.1 mg/kg b.w.; (1 y) for dogs 3 mg/kg b.w. Non-mutagenic and non-teratogenic in rats (2 mg/kg b.w. daily) and rabbits (15 mg/kg b.w. daily). ADI 0.02 mg/kg. Other Low solubility in water and high adsorption on soil mean that low LC50 or LD50 values under laboratory conditions do not present significant hazard under practical field conditions. Toxicity class WHO (a.i.) U; EPA (formulation) IV
ECOTOXICOLOGY
Birds Acute oral LD50 for bobwhite quail >2250, mallard ducks >1000 mg/kg. LC50 (8 d) for bobwhite quail 3275, mallard ducks 4175 mg/kg diet. Fish LC50 for rainbow trout 5.66, mirror carp 0.12 mg/l. Daphnia LC50 (48 h) 0.57 mg/l. Algae EC50 (96 h) for green algae >0.82 mg/l. Bees LC50 (48 h) (oral) 150-200 ng/bee; (48 h) (contact) 200-500 ng/bee.
