Vapormate™, a new gas formulation of ethyl formate (EF) with carbon dioxide, is an alternative fumigant to methyl bromide (MB). The efficacy of the vapormate fumigation was evaluated on an acaricide susceptible and resistant Tetranychus urticae strains. A resistant strain showed resistance ratio (RR) of 21.9 and 379.6 to acrinathrin and chlorfenapyr, respectively. Fumigation was done in desiccators (6.8 L) which were empty or filled 30% in space with paprika for 6 h at 15℃ in the laboratory. The concentration adopted were 9.6, 17.2, 24.5, 36.4 mg/L in empty desiccator and 10.2, 17.9, 24.9, 35.2 mg/L in paprika-filled desiccator. In empty desiccator, susceptible and resistance T. urticae showed 100% mortality at higher concentration than 17.2 and 24.5 mg/L, respectively. In paprika-filled desiccator, susceptible and resistance T. urticae showed 100% mortality at higher concentration than 24.9 and 35.2 mg/L, respectively. Hatchability was greatly reduced by the fumigation. Hatchability was 3.7% in the empty desiccator at 9.6 mg/L and 37.2% in the paprika-filled desiccator at 10.2 mg/L.
