I F IC EXEMPTIONS BASED ON SIGNIFICANT ECONOMIC LOSS 1 . Pests to be co ntrolled: The primar
y pest to be controlled
is Twospotted Spider Mite (Tetranychus urticae Koch). 2 . Di sc u ssion ofthe emergency condition: An emergency condition exists in sugar beet fields in Idaho and Oregon due to the increasing damage caused by the Twospotted Spider Mite (TSSM)

. There are likely several reasons why th e TSSM populations are increasing and becoming

a greater problem. The recent

l oss ofTe mik ® (aldic
a rb) seems to have co incid ed with an increase of mite pressures. In addition

, climate change and drought may also be affecting mite pressure as the mites prefer hot

, dry, dusty environments. This may also ex plain why we are see ing the mite problem expand into the Magic Valley of Central Idaho

. C ropping syste m changes may also be affecting the mite populations. Increa

s ed corn acreage in the beet growing areas

i s likely acting as an incubator for the mites that allows for increases in mite populations that eve ntually move into adjacent sugar beet fields. CwTently there are label ed treatments for tnite s, but a lo ss of efficacy has been observed in recent years posing the question of miticide tolerance. Nevertheless, labeled treatments are ineffective and thus leaving Snake River Sugar Coop and Amalgamated Sugar Company growe rs (Attachments
#4 & 5) susceptible
to further crop loss es caused by TSSM. 3. Di s cu s sion of econom

RE: Regional request for Section 1 8 emergency use of hexythiazox (Onager® Miticide) for

cont r ol of twospotted spider mites in sugar beets grown in Idaho and Oregon during

2014. The Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) hereby joins the Idaho State Department of

Agriculture (ISDA) in a regional application for FIFRA Section 18 emergency exemption use of
hexythiazox (Onager® Miticide, EPA Reg. No . 1 0163-277) to control twos potted spider mites in

sugar beets grown in Idaho and Oregon during 2014 . This is the first year that this use has been

requested. All of the information required for the specific exemption in Oregon has been included in the full

regional specific exemption request submitted on behalf of both states by ISDA on 01 July 2014 .

In addition, ODA is identifying the following person who can serve as a contact person for

technical and scientific aspects of this exemption request in Oregon [Section A. 2. (A) of the

regional request] : Bill Buhrig Extension Crop Agent Oregon State University Malheur County Extension Office

### It is an emulsifiable concentrate
to be mixed with water and app lied as a spray

. Onager controls mites through activity on eggs and

I mmature stages. Control Is ach ieve d from ellher direct contact with the sp r ay or from contact with treated plant surfaces. Through its ovicidal activity, Onager controls newly depos

a re laid after application. Onager
Is also h ighly effect
