Azocyclotin is used to control all motile stages of spider mites on
fruit, vines, hops, cotton, vegetables and ornamentals.
Azocyclotin is an organotin aracacide used in the control of mites. Azocyclotin showed weak antifeedant activity against other insects such as Spodoptera littoralis.
ChEBI: A member of the class of triazoles that is 1,2,4-triazole substituted at position 1 by a tricyclohexylstannyl group.
The sedimentation of particles coated with the
pesticide is relatively fast. Shortly after application of
14C-azocyclotin, distribution, solubilizing, and
metabolism in fresh water microcosms begin, and
azocyclotin is quickly hydrolyzed to cyhexatin
(tricyclohexyltin hydroxide) by splitting of the triazole
residue, and, according to the solubility of cyhexatin,
cyhexatin is mainly absorbed to sediment and the
layer of biota in direct contact with the sediment and
further undergoes successive metabolism to result in
dicyclohexyltin oxide and cyclohexyltin acid.
Azocyclotin undergoes hydrolysis with DT50 values (22 °C) of 96 hours at
pH 4,81 hours at pH 7 and 8 hours at pH 9 (I'M).
