Ecological mite control agents, particularly against Varroa destructor.

摘要

Varroa destructor is an external parasitic mite that attacks honey bees Apis cerana and Apis mellifera. Varroa mites can be controlled through commercially available miticides as well as non-chemical means. Our research work has been conducted on plants extracts reducing the mite population. We have obtained promising results for extracts of yew and walnut.
