Mite protection

Sulfur and its compounds are among the oldest and most widely used pesticides. Elemental sulfur is especially effective as a dust for the control of mites attacking citms, cotton, and field crops and as a protectant against chiggers, Trombicula spp., attacking humans. Sulfur also is a valuable fungicidal diluent for other dust insecticides and is used in wettable form as a spray mixture. Time sulfur has been a standard dormant spray for the control of the San Jose Quadraspidiotuspemiciosus and for other scales and various plant diseases. Time sulfur is a water-soluble mixture of calcium pentasulfide,... 

Provides a coordinated crop protection industry response to the development of resistance in insect and mite pests. During the last decade, IRAC has formed several international working gi oups to provide practical solutions to mite and insect resistance problems within major crops and pesticide groups.

Cucumber mosaic virus pictured on p.89) can, despite its name, affect all members of this family, and many other plant families, too. There Is no cure, but some cultivars show some resistance. Protect young plants from slugs. Powdery mildew may be a sign of dry soil late In the year It will not affect the crop. Under cover, biological controls can be used to control pests like red spider mite. Crop rotation, good... 

Bromate has been classified as a human carcinogen by both the I/VRC (International Agency for the Research on Cancer) and the USEPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) and is known to be toxic to fish and other aquatic life [11, 12]. Bromate could be produced in aquatic systems upon the oxidation of aqueous bromide. Controlled ozonation has been considered as an effective disinfectant tool in aquatic systems [13] but when sea water is subjected to ozonation, oxy-bromide ozonation by-products (OBP) are produced and these are important both in terms of their disinfection ability and also in relation to their potential toxicity. When seawater is oxidized, aqueous bromide (Br-) is initially converted to hypobro-mite (OBr ) which can then either be reduced back to bromide or oxidized further to bromate (Br03-) which is known to be toxic to fish and other aquatic life and classified as a human carcinogen. There has been thus a considerable interest in bromate analysis so that trace analysis of bromate in water has received considerable attention in recent years. 

Uses Propetamphos is a moderately toxic insecticide. The USEPA has classified it under both GUP and RUP, which suggests the use by certified and qualified applicators. Propetamphos is used for the control of cockroaches, flies, ants, ticks, moths, fleas, and mosquitoes in households and where vector eradication is necessary to protect public health. It also is used in veterinary applications to combat parasites such as ticks, lice, and mites in livestock. The commercial formulations of propetamphos include aerosols, emulsified concentrates, liquids, and powders.28...

Ectoparasites such as ticks, mites and haematophagous flies together with certain endoparasites may be "managed" by use of avermectins (macrocyclic lactones) or hormone analogues and by Immunization of the hosts with antigens derived from the vectors or parasites themselves. Recently this combined approach has been used most effectively against helminth infestations as well as against ticks and flies. Use of components of host odors and pheromones to trap, sterilize or kill tsetse flies is described as well as inexpensive methods of crop and livestock protection, such as oils and plant extracts, used traditionally in less developed countries. 

As beneficials, predatory mites have the big advantage that they stay on the tree the whole year round and are thus always there when spider mites are present (protective predators).
