In agricultural production, red spiders have always been hated by everyone. They are very small and difficult to be found. In addition, they reproduce quickly, and they will come back soon after being controlled. Today, I will introduce a classic formula for controlling red spiders. It can not only kill mite eggs, nymphs, young mites and adult mites at the same time, but also has a fast effect and a long lasting effect. It is deeply favored by some growers. This is Bifenazate· Etoxazole.
1. About Bifenazate·Etoxazole
Bifenazate·Etoxazole is a mixed product of bifenazate and Etoxazole. It is a new type of selective foliar spray acaricide. Both are used alone and are also commonly used agents for controlling red spiders.
Among them, bifenazate is a hydrazine ester non-systemic contact acaricide, which was first developed by Chemtura in the United States in 1999 and registered in my country in 2008. It is a new type of selective foliar acaricide, which is not systemic. It mainly acts on the central nervous conduction system of mites, inhibits the conduction of the central nervous system, and achieves the purpose of killing mites. It can be used to control mites such as two-spotted spider mites, cinnabar spider mites, and panonychus mites. It is effective at all developmental stages of mites, has egg-killing activity and knockdown activity on adult mites, has little effect on predatory mites, has no effect on plant growth, and has a long lasting effect.
Etoxazole is a miticide with a special structure. It was first developed by Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd. of Japan. It mainly inhibits the molting process from young mites to adult mites. It is effective against eggs and young mites, but not adult mites. However, it can inhibit the embryo formation of mite eggs and has a good sterilizing effect on female adult mites. It mainly controls red spider mites in apples and citrus. It also has preventive effects on mites such as spider mites, early spider mites, panonychus mites, two-spotted spider mites, and cinnabar spider mites in crops such as cotton, flowers, and vegetables. It is highly rain-resistant and has a long-lasting effect of up to 50 days (on fruit trees) or more than 30 days (on cotton, vegetables, and ornamental plants).
To date, there are as many as 63 registrations for Bifenazate·Etoxazole, mainly in the form of 40% and 45% suspensions.
2. Product Features
(1) Wide range of miticides and long lasting effect. Bifenazate·Etoxazole can be used to control red spider mites on apples and citrus, spider mites, early spider mites, panonychus mites, two-spotted spider mites, cinnabar spider mites and other mites on crops such as cotton, flowers and vegetables. It has a good killing effect on all stages of harmful mites, and can also inhibit the hatching and molting of mite eggs and nymphs. It is resistant to rain erosion and has a lasting effect of 30-50 days.
(2) Good rapid effect and more thorough killing of mites. Bifenazate·Etoxazole has a strong contact killing effect and can act on the central nervous system of harmful mites. After application, the harmful mites are quickly paralyzed and stop feeding. After 36 hours, the harmful mites begin to die in large numbers. It has a good killing effect on all stages of harmful mites, including eggs, nymphs and adults, and kills mites more thoroughly.
(3) Low resistance and high safety. Bifenazate·Etoxazole has a unique mechanism of action and has no cross-resistance with other previous miticides. If other agents are not ideal for control, this agent can be used for control. It has a better effect and is less affected by temperature. It can be used at high and low temperatures. It is safe for crops and will not cause pesticide damage when used at the recommended dose. It is safer to use.
3. Usage
(1) To control red spider mites on crops such as strawberries, watermelons, and cucumbers, 12-15 grams of 40% Bifenazate·Etoxazole suspension can be used per mu at the early stage of the occurrence of harmful mites. It can be diluted with 30-40 kilograms of water and sprayed evenly. It can quickly control the damage of pest mites such as two-spotted spider mites and cinnabar spider mites, and the effective period can reach about 30 days.
(2) To control red spider mites on fruit trees such as citrus and apples, it can be used at the early stage of the occurrence of harmful mites. 2000-2500 times of 40% Bifenazate·Etoxazole suspension can be used. Evenly spray the leaves of the whole plant to effectively kill all stages of red spider mites, and the effective period can reach more than 40 days. It should be noted that citrus should be harvested at least 30 days apart.
Precautions
The best time to spray Bifenazate·Etoxazole is when the spider mites are in full bloom. At this time, the leaves, branches and fruits of the whole plant can be evenly sprayed, which has a better control effect.
