Fenpyroximate 10% SC

A potent acaricide offering rapid knockdown and extended control of various mite species across multiple crops, ensuring enhanced crop health and yield.

Why Choose Fenpyroximate 10% SC?

• Inhibits mitochondrial electron transport, leading to effective mite control.

• Exhibits contact action, ensuring comprehensive mite management.

• Effective against mites resistant to conventional acaricides.

Key Features:

1.      Unique Mode of Action: Fenpyroximate disrupts mitochondrial electron transport at Complex I, leading to energy depletion and mite mortality.

2.      Broad-Spectrum Efficacy: Controls various mite species, including the European red mite (Panonychus ulmi) and two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae).

3.      Rapid Knockdown and Residual Control: Provides immediate cessation of mite feeding and extended residual activity, reducing the frequency of applications.

Detailed Description:

Fenpyroximate 10% SC is a suspension concentrate formulation designed to combat a wide array of phytophagous mites affecting various crops. As a member of the pyrazole class of acaricides, fenpyroximate functions by inhibiting mitochondrial electron transport at Complex I, disrupting ATP production, leading to cellular dysfunction and eventual death of the mite. This mode of action provides both rapid knockdown and extended residual control, making it effective against multiple life stages of mites, including larvae, nymphs, and adults. Fenpyroximate exhibits contact activity; thus, thorough coverage of the plant canopy is essential for optimal efficacy. Its broad-spectrum activity encompasses various mite species, including the European red mite (Panonychus ulmi), two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae), and citrus red mite (Panonychus citri). The formulation is suitable for use on a variety of crops, including apples, citrus, and ornamentals. Incorporating Fenpyroximate 10% SC into an integrated pest management program can significantly reduce mite populations, enhance crop health, and improve yield quality.

Effective Against:

·         Apple Trees:

• Red Spider Mite (Panonychus ulmi): Causes leaf bronzing and  premature leaf drop, leading to reduced photosynthesis and yield.

·         Citrus Trees:

• Citrus Red Mite (Panonychus citri): Infests leaves and fruits,  causing stippling, discoloration, and potential fruit drop.

·         Vegetables (Tomato, Cucumber):

• Two-Spotted Spider Mite (Tetranychus urticae): Causes stippling and discoloration of leaves, leading to reduced photosynthesis and yield.

·         Ornamentals:

• Broad Mite (Polyphagotarsonemus latus): Distorts new growth, leading to       reduced aesthetic value and marketability.

Registered Scope and Method of Use

Technical Application Requirements:

1.      Timing & Frequency: Apply at the onset of mite infestation, targeting early developmental stages to maximize efficacy. Follow recommended application intervals to prevent resurgence.

2.      Application Technique: Utilize calibrated spraying equipment to ensure uniform coverage. Employ sufficient water volume to achieve thorough wetting of the plant canopy.

3.      Environmental Considerations: Fenpyroximate is toxic to aquatic organisms. Avoid application near water bodies and prevent runoff. Implement buffer zones and adhere to local environmental regulations.

4.      Resistance Management: Incorporate fenpyroximate into a rotational program with acaricides of different modes of action. Limit the number of applications per season and integrate with non-chemical control methods to mitigate resistance development.
