Miticide Chemical Interactions

[Alastair]

Now varroa mites are becoming a lot harder to control, some people are reacting by placing several different mite treatment types in the hives at the same time. This can have unexpected toxic side effects, so here is a chart so you can figure out what might be harmful. Then under that I have posted a chart showing what types of pesticides are commonly used on various crop types, so you can know what might be in your area that may react with certain mite treatments

where does that info come from.
i can see a couple thats wrong.

It's off an American website, so the pesticide names could be different from the equivalent used here.

But if something is wrong, let's know which .

the obvious one is amitraz and any acid eg thymol and oxalic acid. amitraz breaks down with acid.
by mem, i need to check, but fluvinates are fairly stable in acids. i havn't heard of any reactions between them and thymol/oxalic.
