The stereoselectivity of chiral pesticide etoxazole was assessed systemically by the Team of Monitoring and Assessment of Fruit Quality & Safety Risk of CAAS. Significant difference was observed between the two enantiomers of etoxaozle, including stereoselective bioactivity, acute toxicity, and the degradation in fruits and soils under open-field conditions. The results of this work can facilitate the safe use, risk assessment and scientific management of etoxaozle in orchard.
