Characteristics

• Fenpyroximate is a METI acaricide (mitochondrial electron transport (Complex 1) inhibitor / IRAC 21A).
• Broad spectrum acaricide: effective against spider mites, eriophyid mites, tarsonemid mites.
• Effective on multiple mite growth stages: larva, nymph, adult.
• Gives fast knock-down action after treatment.
• Fenpyroximate provides rapid "stop feeding" action thus minimizing crop damage.
• Provides long-lasting control when applied at the recommended dose rate. Also inhibits oviposion by females, which further increases the  length of control.
• No cross resistance with conventional acaricides outside the METI group.
• Safe on non-target organisms and beneficials.
• Fenpyroximate is a contact material, thus thorough coverage is essential for optimum efficacy. Addition of adjuvants/oils improves efficacy.
