What Is Etoxazole and How It Works
Etoxazole is a highly selective, non-systemic acaricide from the oxazoline chemical class, developed to target spider mites and other phytophagous mites that pose serious threats to horticultural and agricultural crops. Its primary mechanism of action is the inhibition of chitin biosynthesis, which is essential for mite development. Once applied, Etoxazole effectively disrupts embryo formation in mite eggs and inhibits the molting process in immature mites—rendering them unable to progress to the next life stage.
What makes Etoxazole particularly valuable in mite management programs is its dual-stage control. While it has no direct effect on adult mites, it causes sterility in female mites, meaning any eggs laid post-exposure will not hatch. This unique reproductive disruption makes it highly effective in halting population growth, especially when applied at early infestation stages.
Unlike systemic acaricides, Etoxazole works through contact and ingestion, with excellent translaminar activity that allows it to penetrate leaf surfaces and protect both upper and lower surfaces of treated foliage. It is rainfast within hours and provides residual control of up to 50 days, ensuring long-lasting protection with minimal environmental runoff or residue concerns.
This combination of egg-killing ability, nymph suppression, and female sterilization makes Etoxazole an ideal tool for resistance management, especially in programs targeting red spider mites, two-spotted spider mites, and citrus rust mites across fruit trees, vegetables, cotton, and ornamental crops.

Target Mite Species and Affected Crops
Etoxazole 10%SC and 20%SC are highly effective acaricides developed to interrupt the growth cycle of pest mites by targeting the egg, larval, and nymph stages. By focusing on immature stages rather than adults, Etoxazole effectively breaks the reproductive chain, making it a strategic solution for both early intervention and resistance management.
Target Mite Species
This miticide demonstrates excellent efficacy against a wide range of economically important mite species, including:
-
Tetranychus urticae (Two-spotted spider mite)
-
Panonychus citri (Citrus red mite)
-
Panonychus ulmi (European red mite)
-
Eotetranychus orientalis (Oriental spider mite)
-
Oligonychus spp. (Tea red spider mite, Cinnabar spider mite)
-
Secondary mite pests such as leaf mites and leafhoppers in mixed infestations
These species are known to cause significant damage by feeding on plant cells, resulting in leaf stippling, bronzing, defoliation, and reduced crop yields.
Affected Crops
Etoxazole is suitable for a broad spectrum of crops and is widely used across the following systems:
-
Fruit Trees – Citrus, apple, pear, peach, and hawthorn orchards
-
Vineyards – Grapes for table and wine production
-
Vegetables – Cucumbers, eggplants, beans, tomatoes, and other greenhouse crops
-
Field Crops – Cotton and legume crops prone to mite infestation
-
Ornamentals – Roses, flowering plants, and nursery seedlings requiring aesthetic preservation
Its selective action and long residual period make it an ideal choice for integrated pest management programs, particularly where preservation of beneficial predatory mites is critical.
Application Methods and Dosage
To maximize the efficacy of Etoxazole 10%SC and 20%SC, proper application timing and dilution rates are essential. Since the product targets mite eggs and immature stages, the best control is achieved when applied at the early signs of infestation—before adult mite populations dominate the field.
Application Timing
-
Optimal timing: Apply at the early stages of mite activity, ideally during the egg-laying or early larval phases. This prevents population buildup and reduces damage to foliage and fruits.
-
Weather considerations: Apply during dry, calm weather conditions to ensure full leaf surface coverage and minimize drift. Etoxazole has strong rainfastness, maintaining effectiveness even if rain occurs a few hours after spraying.
Recommended Dosage & Dilution
| Formulation | Dilution Range | Application Method |
|---|---|---|
| Etoxazole 10%SC | 1:5000–1:7500 | Spray evenly on foliage |
| Etoxazole 20%SC | 1:7000–1:10000 | Spray thoroughly across infested area |
Application Tips
-
Use high-volume sprayers to achieve full coverage on the underside of leaves, where mites often reside.
-
Avoid applying under strong sunlight or extreme temperatures, which may reduce residual effect.
-
Re-application may be needed after 25–30 days if new infestations are observed, depending on the crop cycle and climate.
This miticide is not systemic and does not move within plant tissues, so thorough coverage of the target area is crucial. By following these guidelines, you can ensure optimal mite suppression and protect yield quality.
