Sadof and M.J.

Carbaryl NC Repeated use may stimulate spider mite reproduction. (Carbamate) Broad spectrum activity. Chlorpyrifos NC The chemical standard for borer control. Long residual. (Organophosphate) Broad spectrum activity. Clofentazine HC This miticide does not kill predatory mites or eriophyid (Tetrazine) mites. Cyfluthrin NC (Pyrethroid) Diflubenzuron SC Moderate residual. Kills immature stages. Pupal stage (Insect Growth Regulator) parasitoids are not killed. Fenitrothion NC Long residual. Broad spectrum activity. (Organophosphate) Fluvalinate NC Long residual. Broad spectrum activity. (Pyrethroid) Heterorhabditis bacteriophora C Very low toxicity to humans and non-targets. Wasp (Entomophagous Nematode) parasitoids with silken cocoons are not killed. Hexythiazox HC Kills only spider mite nymphs and eggs. Long residual. (Thiazolidine) Does not kill predators. Horticultural Oil C Inactive when dry. Kills soft-bodied insects. Pupal (Other) stage parasitoids are not killed. Imidacloprid NC Ability to kill predaceous plant bugs can cause spider (Chloronicotinyl) mite outbreaks. Long residual. Insecticidal Soap C Inactive when dry. Kills soft-bodied insects. Pupal (Other) stage parasitoids are not killed. Lambda-Cyhalothrin NC Very long residual. Broad spectrum activity. (Pyrethroid) Malathion NC Moderate residual. Broad spectrum activity. (Organophosphate) Methoxychlor NC Very long residual. Broad spectrum activity. (Organochlorine) 1HC = Highly Compatible, C = Compatible, SC = Somewhat Compatible, NC = Not Compatible. From: IPM of Midwest Landscapes by Krischik. V and J. Davidson.

Kills immature stages. Pupal stage parasitoids are not killed. Oil (see Horticultural Oil) Oxythioquinox NC Long residual. Broad spectrum activity miticide. (Dithiocarbonate) Oxydementon-Methyl NC Long residual. Broad spectrum activity. Permethrin NC Moderate residual. Broad spectrum activity. (Pyrethroid) Phosmet SC Reportedly low impact on spider mite predators in (Organophosphate) orchards with long history of pesticide use. Effect on predators in the landscape is unknown. Pyradiben NC Lasting effects on whiteflies, mites and predatory mites. Pyriproxifen SC Very effective on armored scales but (insect growth also (Regulator) kills parasitized scales). Pyrethrins SC Very short residual, but very broad spectrum activity. (Botanical) Prevents additional injury and sets the stage for future conservation and augmentation efforts. Spinosad C Very short residual. Toxic to adult wasp parasitoids. (Microbial) Not toxic to some important predators. Steinernema carpocapsae HC Very low toxicity to humans and non-targets. Wasp (Entomophagous Nematode) parasitoids with silken cocoons are not killed. Trichlorfon NC Long residual. Broad spectrum activity. (Organophosphate) 1HC = Highly Compatible, C = Compatible, SC = Somewhat Compatible, NC = Not Compatible. From: IPM of Midwest Landscapes by Krischik. V and J. Davidson.
