PROPARGITE 57% EC

Mode of Action:

1. Propargite acts as a contact poison, meaning it must come into direct contact with the target mites to be effective. It disrupts the mites' nervous system, leading to paralysis and eventual death. Propargite has a relatively long residual activity, providing extended control of mite populations after application.

Target Pests:

1. Propargite is primarily used to control mite infestations in various crops, including fruits, vegetables, ornamentals, and field crops. It is effective against a wide range of mite species, including spider mites, rust mites, and other agricultural pests.

Application:

1. Propargite 57 EC is typically applied as a foliar spray directly onto the infested plant foliage. It is important to ensure thorough coverage of the plant surface, including the undersides of leaves where mites often reside. Proper application timing and frequency are crucial for effective mite control and minimizing the risk of resistance development.
