A specific insecticide-acaricide for the control of thrips and mites on vines, fruit trees, especially stone fruit, and vegetable crops. Based on formetanate, it acts by contact and ingestion on mobile forms, including nymphs and adults. It is ideal for anti-resistance strategies thanks to its dual mode of action. It provides maximum efficacy against western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis) and other thrips, as well as various tetranychid and eriophyid mites.
