Abstract

In the present study, the effect of hexytiazox, nano sulfur, alginate/sulfur (Al/S) and alginate/sulfur/hexytiazox (A/H/S) composites were examined on adult famale of two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae). The diameters of sulfur nanoparticles and sodium/sulfur alginate and sodium/sulfur/hexithiazox alginate 300-60 nm were obtained using electron microscopy (SEM). Analysis of FT-IR spectra of sulfur alginate/sulfur (Al/S) and alginate/sulfur/hexytiazox (A/H/S) composites were performed, in the sulfur spectrum, only two peaks 870 and 3435, and in the alginate spectrum 1630, 1457 and 1341 peaks were observed. The highest mortality was obtained 24, 48 and 72 hours after application in the composite (Al/He/S) treatment with LC50 values of 3.48, 2.80 and 2.43 g/l, respectively. Also the lowest mortality was observed 24 hours after using nanosulfur treatment with LC50 value of 20.34 g/l and in 48 and 72 hours in nanosulfur and alginate/sulfur (Al/S) composite treatment with LC50 values of 12.37 and 9.87 g/l, respectively. Hexithiazox treatment with a concentration of 12.7 ml/l after 72 hour aplication showed the highest mortality (70%). Based on the results of this study, composite (Al/He/S) can be recommended in the preparation of commercial acaricide formulations and use in T. urticae integrated management program.
