[0067] Biological test material: Two-spotted spider mite nymphs.

[0068] Specimen preparation: Select nymphs that are kept indoors and have the same physiological condition. Cut double-sided tape into 2cm lengths and stick them to one end of a glass slide. Then select healthy mites and stick their backs onto the double-sided tape, 30 mites per slide. Place them in a rearing box lined with a damp sponge, cover the box, and place it at (25±1)℃. After 2 hours, examine the slide under a microscope, remove any dead or injured individuals, and replenish the slide to 30 mites.

[0111] Tables 1 and 2 show that each of the single agents of Formula I, tetradifon, and thiamethoxam exhibits high toxicity against *Tetranychus spp.*, with Formula I showing the best control efficacy. Formula I and thiamethoxam did not show antagonistic effects against *Tetranychus spp.* in the ratio range of 1:45–35:1. However, in the range of 1:22–25:1, their co-toxicity coefficient was greater than 120, indicating a synergistic effect. Similarly, Formula I and tetradifon showed a co-toxicity coefficient greater than 120 against *Tetranychus spp.* in the range of 1:42–36:1, also indicating a synergistic effect.

[0112] Example 2: Safety test of compound I combined with tetradifon or thiamethoxam in the natural enemy *Heterophyllum oxypetalum*

[0113] Experimental target: 3rd instar larvae of the ladybug.

[0114] Test reagents: The original drug was prepared into a stock solution using an organic solvent, and then dissolved in a 0.1% Tween-80 aqueous solution. The reagents were prepared according to the optimal ratio of compound I in Example 1 with tetradifon or thiamethoxam, and a blank control was set up with no reagents (containing all organic solvents and emulsifiers).

[0115] Test material preparation: Select clean cotton leaves that have grown uniformly and have not been treated with pesticides, cut them into leaf discs with a diameter of 6 cm, and lay them flat in plastic cups containing agar. Inoculate 200 two-spotted spider mites raised indoors onto the leaf discs, and inoculate one ladybug larvae in each cup after being starved for 4 hours.

[0116] Chemical treatment: Place the plastic cup in the potter spray tower for spraying. After the solution settles for 1 minute, remove the cup and seal the top with a mesh screen with a 0.15mm aperture to prevent the test insects from escaping.

[0117] Feeding and observation: The treated test insects were fed and observed under the conditions of temperature (25±1)℃, relative humidity (70±5)%, and photoperiod L:D=(16:8)h. After 48h, the mortality of the ladybugs was checked and the number of deaths was recorded. Those insects that did not move when touched with a brush were considered dead.

[0118] Each drug concentration and control were replicated four times, with each replicate testing 30 third-instar ladybug larvae.

[0119] Data statistics and analysis:

[0120] Based on the survey data, the corrected mortality rates for each treatment were calculated using the following formula, and the results were rounded to two decimal places.

[0121]

[0122] In the formula:

[0123] P – Mortality rate, expressed as a percentage (%);

[0124] K represents the number of dead insects, in heads;

[0125] N represents the total number of insects treated, in units of heads.

[0126]

[0127] In the formula:

[0128] P1 – Corrected mortality rate, in percentage (%);

[0129] P t —The mortality rate is expressed as a percentage (%).

[0130] P0 – Mortality rate in the blank control group, expressed as a percentage (%).

[0131] If the control mortality rate is <5%, no correction is needed; if the control mortality rate is between 5% and 20%, correction should be performed according to the corrected mortality rate formula; if the control mortality rate is >20%, the trial needs to be repeated.

[0132] The DPS statistical analysis system was used to analyze the data and derive the toxicity regression equation and LC. 50 The value is used to evaluate the activity of the test reagent on the biological sample.

[0133] The safety factor was used to evaluate the safety of various pesticides for ladybugs:

[0134]

[0135] When the toxicity selection index STR < 1, it indicates that the agent has a negative selectivity for natural enemies and pests (mites); when STR = 1, it means that the agent has no obvious selectivity for natural enemies and pests (mites); when 1 < STR ≤ 10, it indicates that the agent has a positive selectivity for natural enemies and pests (mites); when 10 < STR ≤ 100, it indicates that the agent has a moderately positive selectivity for natural enemies and pests; when 100 < STR ≤ 1000, it indicates that the agent has a highly positive selectivity for natural enemies and pests (mites); when STR > 1000, it indicates that the agent has a strongly positive selectivity for natural enemies and pests (mites).

[0136] Table 3 Results of the safety test of the compound of formula I combined with clofentezine or hexythiazox on the natural enemy Hippodamia variegata

[0137]

[0138] As can be seen from Table 3, the toxicity of the compound of formula I combined with clofentezine or hexythiazox to Hippodamia variegata is significantly lower than its toxicity to pest mites, and it is relatively safe for natural enemy insects.

[0139] Field efficacy test

[0140] Example 3: Field efficacy test of the acaricidal composition against Tetranychus cinnabarinus on cotton

After field investigation and indoor microscopic examination, the main mite species was identified as hawthorn spider mite. The pesticide was applied on May 22, 2020 (sunny weather, temperature 21℃ / 35℃).

[0154] The test and control reagents are shown in the table below (Table 5).

[0155] Application method: Conventional application was used in the experiment. A backpack electric sprayer was used to apply the pesticide evenly to the entire fruit tree, ensuring that both the upper and lower surfaces of the leaves were sprayed.

[0156] Experimental design: The experimental plot area was 2 fruit trees, and each treatment was repeated 4 times.

[0157] Survey Methods: The experimental survey was conducted according to GB / T 17980.7-2000. The initial mite population was surveyed before pesticide application, and the number of active mites was surveyed at 3, 7, and 14 days after application. During the survey, for each tree in each plot, the number of active mites on 5 leaves were randomly collected from each of the 5 directions (east, south, west, north, and center). A handheld magnifying glass was used to examine the leaves, and the number of active mites was recorded.

[0162]

[0163] Indoor toxicity tests and field efficacy tests show that the acaricidal composition of the present invention exhibits good control effect on harmful mites and is safe for natural enemy insects.

[0164] Although the present invention has been described in detail above with general description and specific embodiments, some modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention are within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
