Universidad de Zaragoza Field efficacy of acaricides against Varroa destructor 2017 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Field trials were conducted in Northeast Spain (Aragón) to evaluate the effectiveness of two acaricides against Varroa destructor. These experiments took into account the season of the year, apiary, colony, and developmental state and strength of the colony. The acaricides used were a synthetic (amitraz, Apivar®) and a natural (formulated from Api Life Var®, thymol oil and thymol alcohol) product. The treatments used in the present study reduce high infestations of V. destructor, although they do not eliminate the infestation. Similar efficacies between treatments were found. Nevertheless, the efficacy of a treatment depends on the apiary where applied. Moreover, the detected variability in the apiary and hive poses a challenge to the identification of the significant factors. Therefore, more field studies to assess efficacies in several apiaries are needed to obtain a better understanding of the effects of the applied treatments. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 2.766 2017 MULTIDISCIPLINARY SCIENCES 15 / 64 = 0.234 2017 Q1 T1 1.164 2017 Agricultural and Biological Sciences (miscellaneous) 2017 Q1 Medicine (miscellaneous) 2017 Q1 Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (miscellaneous) 2017 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion (orcid)0000-0002-1946-1187 Moreno, C.
