Description
Two active ingredients, one spray, every life stage of spider mite
Mitecide 430 SC Advanced Formula pairs abamectin at 430 g/L (43% w/w) with bifenazate in a single suspension concentrate, giving two distinct modes of action in one application. Abamectin disrupts the pest's nervous system on contact and through ingestion, while bifenazate adds a second line of attack that reaches every mobile life stage as well as the eggs themselves — a combination built to slow the development of resistance as much as to knock mites down.
Mixed at 1ml per litre of warm water, shaken well and applied as a foliar spray, Mitecide 430 SC is formulated to work into the undersides of leaves where spider mite colonies concentrate. Spraying with grow lights off or dimmed, and allowing foliage to dry afterwards, is the recommended approach — do not store any mixed solution for reuse.
Mitecide 430 SC is a professional plant protection product. Use plant protection products safely. Always read the label and product information before use.
