Acaricides / Miticides > Unclassified acaricides

Fenazaquin is a contact acaricide for application to foliage. It is active against eggs and motile forms. Dow AgroSciences recommends that it is applied primarily to control small populations of mites in accordance with local recommendations. It can also be used to control large populations of mites in summer. Fenazaquin has only a short period of bioavailability on the crop and is safe to predatory mites, although Typhlodromus pyri colonies suffer some transient effects.

In field trials, fenazaquin did not damage apples and ornamentals at application rates in excess of those recommended for mite control. Dow AgroSciences recommends the product's use in IPM schemes.

To reduce the possibility of the development of resistance to this product, it is recommended that no more than one application is made to any one crop in any one growing season. In addition, other mitochondrial electron transport inhibitor acaricides should not be applied to the same crop in the same calendar year.

Environmental fate: 
Fate in soil:
Fenazaquin strongly adsorbs to soil particles. Its soil half-life is less than ten weeks. There is a low potential for leaching to groundwater.

Fate in aquatic systems:
Fenazaquin is primarily degraded by photolysis in aqueous systems. It has a photolytic half-life of around two weeks.

Hazard Class:II(Moderately hazardous)
