An insecticide and miticide mainly used in fruit, vegetables and ornamentals.
9. APPLICATION METHODS AND TIPS:
Don't use where integrated mite control is used because this is highly toxic to predatory mites.
Use sufficient water to give good penetration and coverage.
The addition of 500 g of salt per 100 L of spray solution may improve the control of sucking insects.
Synthetic latex surfactants such as Bond improve control slightly under normal conditions and improve rainfastness and have maintained control levels with up to 50 mm rainfall after spraying.
