Fenpyroximate is acaricide of pyrazole group. This acaricide have already been permitted for herb cultivation. This experiment was conducted to establish a determination method for fenpyroximate residue in herbal medicines using HPLC-PDA and HPLC-MS/MS. Fenpyroximate residue was extracted with acetone from samples of herbal which Liquorice Root (Glycyrrhiza uralensis) and Safflower Seed (Carthamus tinctorius Linne). The extract was diluted with saturated saline water and dichloromethane liquid-liquid partition (extraction) was followed to recover fenpyroximate from the aqueous phase. Amino propyl ($NH_2$) and florisil column chromatography was additionally employed for final clean up of the extract. The fenpyroximate was quantitated by HPLC-PDA and HPLC-MS/MS. The herbals were fortified with fenpyroximate at 2 or 3 levels per crop. Mean recovery ratio were ranged from 72.0 to 106.4%. The coefficients of variation were ranged from 0.2 to 4.4. Therefore, this analytical method was reproducible and sensitive enough to determine the residue of fenpyroximate in herbal medicines.

The comparative toxicities of selected acaricides against the twospotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, were investigated. The ovicidal and adulticidal activities of selected acaricides were examined under different developmental stages. Fenpyroximate showed high activity throughout all developmental stages of mites. The oviposition inhibition effect of fenpyroximate was more highly effective than that of cyhexatin. At 100 ppm concentration, the effect of fenpyroximate on the residual oviposition inhibition was persistant during 25 days with 85% level, while the effect of cyhexatin gradually decreased, and then decreased to 40% at 25 days after treatment. Fenpyroximate at 100 ppm showed 100% knockdown activity within 3 hour while cyhexatin showed only 91% knockdown activity within 24 hours after treatment. Most of selected acaricides had no systemic activity, but metasystox at 800 ppm had 100% of the systemic activity at 24 hours after treatment. For the influence of temperature on the activity, fenpyroximate showed stable activity and no temperature-dependent in comparison with other selected adaricides.

The selective tox\ulcornercity of fenpyroximate to the predatory mite Amblyseius womersleyi and the twospotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae was evaluated. Adult females and eggs of both species were placed on bean leaf dis~sd ipped in several concentrations of fenpyroximate. Fenpyroximate was much less toxic to A. womersleyi than to T. urticae. Although the survival of adult females of A. womersleyi tended to decrease with increasing fenpyroximate concentration, 58-74% of predators remained alive at concentrations of 6.25-50 ppm. However, reproduction of predators was not significantly reduced at any of the concentrations tested. At 6.25-50 ppm, 32-40% of twospotted spider mite adult females survived but all survivors were immobilized. Moreover, reproduction of twospotted spider mites was reduced with increasing fenpyroximate concentration. Fenpyroximate did not affect the hatch of A. womersleyi eggs or the development of immature predators. Although survival of immature predators decreased with increasing fenpyroximate concentration, 16-48% of immature predators reached adulthood at 6.25-50 ppm. However, all immature spider mites failed to develop to adulthood at 6.25-50 ppm. Adult female predators survived on a diet of twospotted spider mites intoxicated with fenpyroximate, and their fecundity and sex-ratio of the progeny were not substantially affected. Fenpyroximate at selective sublethal concentrations (6.25-12.5 ppm), therefore, could be of value in adjusting predatorlprey ratio in integrated management of twospotted spider mites.

Persistence and degradation patterns of acequinocyl and its metabolite, hydroxyl-acequinocyl (acequinocyl-OH) and fenpyroximate in butterburs (Petasites japonicus Max.) were investigated after pesticide application. Butterburs, one of the minor crops in South Korea, was planted in two plots (plot A for double and plot B for single application) in a greenhouse. Butterburs samples were also planted in a separate plot without pesticide treatment, as the control. A commercial pesticide containing acequinocyl and fenpyroximate was applied to the foliage of butterburs at hourly intervals after dilution. Recoveries of acequinocyl and acequinocyl-OH were 78.6-84.7% and 83.7-95.5%, respectively; the relative standard deviation of the two compounds were less than 5%. The method limit of quantification was 0.01 mg/kg. The total (Ʃ) acequinocyl residues in butterburs reduced by 96.0% at 14 days and 75.9% at 7 days, in plot A and B, respectively, after final pesticide applications. The biological half-life (DT₅₀) of Ʃ acequinocyl and fenpyroximate, calculated using the dissipation rate, was 3.0 days and 4.0 days, respectively. These data were used to set up maximum residue and safe standard levels when the pesticides are applied to control pests during butterbur cultivation. Risk assessment results showed that the maximum % acceptable daily intake was 7.74% for Ʃ acequinocyl and 0.16% for Ʃ fenpyroximate. The theoretical maximum daily intake of Ʃ acequinocyl and fenpyroximate was 26.3% and 35.8%, respectively. In conclusion, the concentrations of Ʃ acequinocyl and fenpyroximate in butterburs pose no significant health risks to Koreans.

The pyrazole family was discovered as effective insecticides/acaricides, and fenpyroximate and tebufenpyrad were introduced in the market. In this study, new series of pyrazole oxime ethers were designed and synthesized. The pyrazolone 1 was prepared by the condensation of ethyl acetoacetate with methylhydrazine, and then subsequently subjected to the Vilsmeier-Haack chloroformylation yielding 4-formyl-5-chloro-pyrazole 2. The nucleophilic aromatic substitution of 2 generally allowed the introduction of a wide range of heterocycles into the pyrazole ring. The resulting pyrazole aldehydes 3a-i were readily converted to the corresponding pyrazole oxime derivatives 4a-i, and subsequently to 5-substituted pyrazole oxime ether derivatives 6a-i. The screening assay results clearly show that the activities of 6d were comparable to those of fenpyroximate (6a) against BPH, DBM, and TSSM. It indicates that 6d has a potential to be developed as an insecticidal agent.

Fenpyroximate was prepared by Williamson synthesis of 4-hydroxyimino-5-phenoxypyrazole and t-butyl 4-bromomethyl benzoate, while an efficient method for the synthesis of t-butyl benzoate still remains a challenging problem. We have found that t-butyl benzoate could be prepared from benzoic acid by the sulfuric acid-catalyzed reaction with isobutene via in situ generation from t-butanol. It has been proven that this process is more convenient for the preparation of t-butyl 4-bromobenzoate, thus allows a facile entry to fenpyroximate.

The development of resistance to bifenazate (resistance ratio of egg=40.3 folds) was found in population of the twospotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, collected from rose greenhouses in Chilgok, Gyeongbuk Province in December 2000. This population was selected for 4 years with bifenazate treatment (over 150 times), and showed 248.8 folds increase in resistance as compared to susceptible (S) strain. Inheritance of bifenazate resistant strain (R) and cross resistance of this strain to 9 acaricides were investigated. There were differences of susceptibility in the bifenazate concentration-mortality relationships in F1 progenies obtained from reciprocal cross with the S and R strain $(R{\times}S,\;S{\times}R)$. Degrees of dominance were 0.48 and 0.94 in adult females and eggs of $R{\times}S$ and -0.85 and -0.17 in adult females and eggs of $S{\times}R$, respectively. Inheritance type in the F1 progeny of $R{\times}S$ was incomplete dominant, and F1 progeny of $S{\times}R$ was incomplete recessive. These results suggest that inheritance of bifenazate resistance is controlled by a complete dominance. The R strain exhibited cross resistance to acequinocyl and fenpyroximate in adult females, and amitraz, emamectin benzoate, fenpyroximate, milbemectin, pyridaben and spirodiclofen in eggs. However they showed negatively correlated cross-resistance to emamectin benzoate and milbemectin in adult females, and abamectin in eggs.

Tea field-collected populations of the tea red spider mite (Tetranychus kazawai Kishida) from five different locations in the southern region of Korea were assessed for resistance to seven acaricides using leaf spray method. There were considerable differences in susceptibility depending on the tested acaricides and the location from which the population was collected. The populations showing high resistance ratio of more than 20 with respect to certain acaricide were as follows: the Sungjun and Cheju populations to azocyclotin, tebufenpyrad, fenpyroximate, pyridaben, propargite, and fenpropathrin; the Haenam population to propargite and fenpyroximate; the Bosung population to propargite; the Youngam population to pyridaben. Therefore, the use of other alternative acaricides against the Sungjun and Cheju populations is needed. However, careful selection of the appropriate acaricide against the Haenam, Bosung and Youngam populations of the tea red spider mite might be maintained in effective control.

Toxicities of 51 pesticides (25 insecticides, 11, acaricides, 11 fungicides and 4 adjuvants) commonly used to control greenhouse insect, mite, and disease pests were evaluated to minute pirate bug, Orius strigicollis nymphs and adults at the recommended concentration. Among 25 insecticides tested, fipronil, lufenuron, acetamiprid+fipronil, $\alpha$-cypermethrin+flufenoxuron and buprofezin + amitraz showed low toxicity to O. strigicollis. Among acaricides, acequinocyl, bifenazate, chlorfenapyr, etoxazole, fenpyroximate, flufenoxuron, milbemectin, spirodiclofen and tebufenpyrad showed low toxicity to O. strigicollis. All fungicides and adjuvants tested were very low toxicity. It may be suggested from these results that five insecticides, nine acaricides, eleven fungicides and four adjuvants could be incorporated into the integrated thrips management system with O. strigicollis in greenhouses.
