In Quebec, the toxicity of six insecticides was tested in laboratory on Neoseiulus fallacis female, a predatory mite against Tetranychidæ pests in vineyards and orchards. Two insecticides (spinetoram and clothianidin) proved to be toxic for N. fallacis (more than 85 % of mortality) and should’nt be used in Integrated Pest management (IPM); the insecticide spirotetramat was moderately toxic (over 60 % of mortality) and stopped eggs laying and it should be avoided in IPM; three insecticides (novaluron, chlorantraniliprol and flubendiamid) were slightly or not toxic (under 20 % of mortality) and can be used in IPM.
