Abstract
Laboratory tests showed that trifloxystrobin (Flint (R) 50WG), myclobutanil (Nova (R) 40WP), flusilazole (Nustar (R) 50DF) and kresoxim-methyl (Sovran (R) 50WG) were harmless to adult mites and did not affect adversely the re productive capacity of Agistemus fleschneri (Summers) (Acari: Stigmaeidae). Among the insecticides evaluated, by the same technique, lambda -cyhalothr in (Warrior T (R) 12%) and imidacloprid (Admire (R) 24%) were also non-toxi c.
