Properties
[edit]Acequinocyl is a yellow solid with a characteristic odor and is practically insoluble in water.[2]
Uses
[edit]Acequinocyl is used as an acaricide in fruit cultivation.[2] It acts as an inhibitor of mitochondrial electron transport at Complex III and was approved in Germany in 2008.[3]
Approval
[edit]An EU decision regarding the approval of acequinocyl as a plant protection active ingredient is still pending; however, member states may grant provisional approvals.[4]
In Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, plant protection products (such as Kanemite) containing this active ingredient are approved.[citation needed]
