    Product Description

    Etoxazole is an organofluorine acaricide.1,2 It induces toxicity in two-spotted spider mite (T. urticae) larvae (LC50 = 0.036 mg/L for the London reference strain) through inhibition of chitin synthase 1. It reduces acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in the freshwater fish O. niloticus in a concentration-dependent manner.3 Etoxazole (2.2-22 mg/kg per day) inhibits the activity of catalase, glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and AChE in the liver and kidneys of rats in a dose-dependent manner.2 Formulations containing etoxazole have been used for the control of mites in agriculture.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
