ECOTOXICOLOGY
Effect on birds: Acute oral LD50 for Bobwhite quail is 788 mg/kg. Effect on fish: Acute LC50 (96 h) for Rainbow trout is 0.74 mg/l. Effects on aquatic invertebrates: Acute EC50 (48 h) for Daphnia magna is 0.035 mg/l. Effects on algae: Acute EC50 (72 h) for Raphidocelis subcapitata is 12 mg/l. Effects on bees: Contact acute (48 h) LD50 is 50 μg/bee. Effects on earthworms: Acute 14 day LC50 is 1000 mg/kg.
ENVIRONMENTAL FATE
Breakdown of Chemical in Soil: Amitraz is broken down rapidly in soil containing oxygen. The half- life in soil, the amount of time needed for the chemical to degrade to half its original concentration, is less than one day. Degradation occurs more rapidly in acidic soils than in alkaline or neutral soils. Breakdown of Chemical in Vegetation: Reports indicate that amitraz may cause crop injury to young peppers and pears during high temperature conditions
