Floramite 240 CS

Bifenazate: The Mechanism of Spider Mite Control

"Floramite 240 SC" is powered by the active ingredient bifenazate (240 g/l). Unlike traditional neurotoxins, this compound targets specific receptors within the mite's nervous system, triggering paralysis and rapid cessation of feeding within hours of contact. A key feature of the formulation is its high selectivity, ensuring safety for beneficial entomophages and predatory mites (such as Phytoseiidae), which makes it an indispensable component of integrated pest management (IPM) for ornamental crops.

Technical Product Profile

• Formulation: The suspension concentrate ensures stable dispersion of the active particles in the spray tank, preventing premature settling and ensuring uniform coverage.
• Action Type: The combination of contact and systemic properties allows for effective control even when pests are hidden, as the substance penetrates difficult-to-reach areas of the leaf surface.
• Application Standards: For peak efficacy, a single spray application during the growing season is recommended, with a dosage rate of 0.4–0.6 l/ha. Due to the unique metabolism of the pest, this single application is sufficient to keep populations suppressed for an extended duration.

The efficacy of "Floramite 240 SC" is proven against all life stages of the spider mite, including eggs, larvae, and adults. The product demonstrates excellent resistance to wash-off from precipitation, which is critical for outdoor cultivation. Classified under hazard class 3, the product requires standard personal protective measures to be followed during preparation and application.
