Provanto Mite 240 SC

Total mite control: Breaking the lifecycle

Provanto Mite 240 SC is a high-performance contact acaricide designed to manage the most stubborn mite populations. Its active ingredient, spirodiclofen (a member of the ketoenol class), works by inhibiting lipid synthesis in mites. This unique mechanism is particularly effective because it targets not just the active adult mites, but also eggs and nymphs, effectively breaking the lifecycle of the pest.

Why choose Provanto Mite 240 SC

In intensive farming, the main issue with standard acaricides is their inability to kill eggs, forcing farmers into frequent spraying schedules. Provanto Mite stands out by providing an ovicidal effect, which significantly reduces the need for repeated applications—two treatments per season are often sufficient.

• Target Pests: Highly effective against red fruit mites, brown fruit mites, and various spider mites.
• Crop Versatility: Perfect for protecting apple orchards, pear trees, as well as vegetables like cucumbers and eggplants.
• Formulation Quality: The suspension concentrate ensures excellent leaf adhesion, maintaining potency even when faced with minor rainfall shortly after application.

Best practices for use

Provanto Mite 240 SC is the ideal choice for those dealing with resistant mite populations. Because its mode of action differs from traditional organophosphates, it provides a crucial "rotation" option to prevent resistance development in your orchard or greenhouse.

Given its contact-based nature, thorough coverage is essential. The effectiveness is directly proportional to how well the leaf surfaces are coated during spraying. Note the harvest interval of 30–40 days, which makes it well-suited for mid-season protection during the active growth and development of your fruits and vegetables.
