Amitraz (chemical name: N,N'-bis(2,4-dimethylphenyl)formamidine; CAS No. 33089-61-1) is a synthetic formamidine pesticide widely used as a broad-spectrum acaricide and insecticide. It appears as a white to pale yellow crystalline solid with a melting point of 88–89 °C, low water solubility (~1 mg/L), and good solubility in organic solvents like acetone and xylene.
Key Uses of Amitraz:
Acaricidal (Mite Control):
Highly effective against mites (e.g., spider mites, rust mites, tetranychid mites) on crops such as cotton, citrus, apples, pears, strawberries, and vegetables.
Controls all life stages: eggs, larvae, nymphs, and adults.
Insecticidal Activity:
Used against pear psylla, whiteflies, aphids, scale insects, and larvae of lepidopteran pests (e.g., cotton bollworm).
Shows repellent, anti-feeding (antifeedant), and growth-inhibiting effects.
Veterinary Applications:
Treats ticks, mites, lice, and mange (e.g., sarcoptic mange) in cattle, sheep, goats, dogs, and other livestock.
Applied via dips, sprays, or spot-on formulations.
Mode of Action:
Acts as an α₂-adrenergic agonist and interacts with octopamine receptors in arthropods.
Disrupts neurotransmission, leading to hyperactivity, paralysis, and death.
Also inhibits monoamine oxidase and prostaglandin synthesis in pests.
Crop Safety & Compatibility:
Considered safe for beneficial insects like ladybugs and parasitic wasps at recommended doses.
Often mixed with other pesticides (e.g., abamectin) for enhanced efficacy.
Safety & Environmental Notes:
Moderate toxicity to mammals (rat oral LD₅₀ ≈ 600–800 mg/kg).
Highly toxic to fish and aquatic organisms (e.g., LC₅₀ for carp = 1.17 mg/L over 48h).
Low risk to birds and bees when used properly.
Not persistent in the environment; degrades under UV light and in alkaline conditions.
Storage: Keep sealed at 0–6 °C in a dry, cool place.
Amitraz remains a valuable tool in integrated pest management (IPM) due to its unique mode of action and effectiveness against resistant mite populations.
