Extract

The methods of Foott and Boyce (1966) and De Ponti and Inggamer (1976) are inadequate to elucidate the residual toxicity of pyrethroids on predacious mites. These products irritate mites to such an extent that, shortly after their exposure to treated leaves, most if not all of the mites attempt to escape the irritant and in the process they are either caught in the Tanglefoot or drown in the water barrier.
