20.500.12556/DKUM-89446 Sustainable varroa mite (Varroa destructor) control in field conditions Experiments assessed the comparative efficacy of oxalic acid solution (OA) and combination of formic acid (FA) evaporation and trickling OA to control the honey bee mite, Varroa destructor, at two apiary locations. Queen caging, consecutive OA treatments of broodless colonies, or combined treatments using OA and FA in colonies with brood increased mite mortality (P < 0.05) in comparison to the pre-treatment period. FA application in colonies with brood in September and October resulted in an average mite mortality of 18% in the first apiary and subsequent FA applications in the same period in the second apiary killed, on average, 73% and 71% of mites; respectively. OA treatment of broodless colonies after queen caging at two apiaries resulted in 18% and 47% mite mortality. Caging the queens and OA treatments in broodless colonies or subsequently use consecutive OA or FA treatments ensure adequate mite reduction before wintering the colonies. Synergistic control methods of Varroa mites using OA and FA along with queen caging is discussed. beekeeping mite control oxalic acid formic acid queen caging čebelarstvo zatiranje pršic oksalna kislina mravljinčna kislina kletka za matico true false true State Pedagogical Publishing House, University of Veterinary Sciences Brno Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2024-07-10 15:29:17 2024-07-10 15:52:19 2024-07-11 03:38:33 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 Str. 401-407 Št. 4 Letn. 91 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2021-12-18 2022-10-10 2022-10-10 638.1:636.09 126955011 10.2754/avb202291040401 0001-7213 Gregorc-2022-Sustainable_varroa_mite_i__(Varro.pdf Gregorc-2022-Sustainable_varroa_mite_i__(Varro.pdf 1 1AF2B4139E1231321DD15F15B1DC07B2 8ad1ce8feaa54ec212e4a0a16eb19c243d19a50c14038562da10f83f524b2601 4f7784cd-3ec3-11ef-ba31-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=181342 https://doi.org/10.2754/avb202291040401 0 6e3e7d4d-3ec0-11ef-ba31-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=181341 Fakulteta za kmetijstvo in biosistemske vede 0 0 0
