1999
Szerletics-Túri,M.
In the last decades considerable economic damages were caused by Varroa mite in European and also in Hungarian apiaries.For the control fumigant strips, solutions and aerosols containing acaricide active ingredients were introduced.Plastic strips impregnated with synthetic pyretoids show a high efficacy against these mites.The long-term (2-6 weeks) treatment, however, icreases the problem of residues in honey and honeycomb.An analytical method was introduced in Hungary for the determination of pyrethroid type active ingredient (flumethrin) residues.The residue content of honey and beewax samples were determined after field experiments.The results served as a basis for registration for marketing and application of Bayvarol strips (Bayer) in Hungary.
