Kanemite Miticide
Targeted Control for Two-Spotted Mite in Pome Fruit, Stone Fruit, and Nursery Stock
Two-spotted mite (Tetranychus urticae) infestations threaten plant health and commercial value in fruit crops and ornamental nursery stock. These mites reproduce rapidly and are prone to developing resistance to standard miticides, necessitating an effective, resistance-management-compatible solution.
Product Overview
Kanemite Miticide is a suspension concentrate miticide containing 156 g/L acequinocyl. It provides rapid knockdown and extended residual control against two-spotted mites across pome fruit, stone fruit, and a wide range of non-food nursery stock. With minimal impact on beneficial arthropods and a unique mode of action, it fits well within IPM programs.
