In January 1994 an extensive bloom of K. selliformis (Figure 21.1), originating off the south west coast of the South Island, extended over 500 km of coastline (MacKenzie et al., 1996a). The circumstances surronnding this bloom are dealt with in more detail in the following section on the ecobiology of the cyclic imines.

The ecobiological properties of etoxazole are not as favorable, allowing its use in combination with predatory mites. In experiments on the comparative toxicity of some acariddes to the predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis and the twospotted spider mite, T. urticae, etoxazole did not seriously affect the survival and reproduc-... 

The favorable ecobiological profile of bifenazate is remarkable [4, 13-15]. The compound does not affect beneficial insects, neither pollinating insects nor beneficial predatory mites nor wasps (Table 30.2.5).

These ecobiological and also the toxicological properties, the rapid soil dissipation, the decreased application frequency and improved efficacy compared with existing compounds of bifenazate, together with the first introduction for use in ornamentals, led to the introduction of Floramite in the United States under the reduced risk status (Table 30.2.6) [3, 17, 18]. 

A new insecticide, which is effective at very low dosage with a novel mode of action, is ideal for overcoming issues derived from resistance and ecobiological problems associated with older insecticides like pyrethroids and OPs [1, 2] and is set as a screening target in agrochemical companies worldwide.
