Notes: Spirotetramat is an insecticide.{42381} It is active against C. pyri nymphs in vitro (LC50 = 6.51-12.53 mg AI/L) and induces mortality of C. pyri nymphs in European pear (P. communis) fields by 99.2% 15 days after application at a concentration of 27 g/hectare. Spirotetramat also reduces O. insidiosus embryonic viability and nymph survival.{42382} It exhibits aquatic toxicity, increasing protein levels of glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and superoxide dismutase (SOD), decreasing levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), and inducing lethality in Chinese toad (B. gargarizans) tadpoles (LC50 = 6.98 mg/L).{42383} Formulations containing spirotetramat have been used in the control of insects in agriculture.
