Acequinocyl is an acaricide used primarily against mites; it inhibits their mitochondrial electron transport. It is a chemical compound belonging to the class of carboxylic acid esters, specifically the 1,4-naphthoquinones.

Uses

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

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]}
