> Selectivity towards beneficial arthropods and predatory mites is a requirement for a modern IPM-compatible product. Side effects of spirotetramat on beneficial arthropods have been evaluated globally in various laboratory, greenhouse, semi-field and field trials. Spirotetramat can be considered to be safe to most beneficial arthropods according to the results obtained from semi-field and field studies, because there were no long lasting, adverse effects on beneficial bugs, lacewings or parasitoids. [The] good selectivity opens possibilities for the combined uses of this product together with beneficial arthropods. Therefore, the product can be recommended for the use in IPM systems.
