Introduction
Amite is a proven contact acaricide containing Propargite 57% EC, specifically formulated to combat mite infestations on vegetables, fruits, and ornamentals. Mites cause significant yield loss and quality reduction — Amite provides fast, reliable control of all mobile stages including eggs, larvae, nymphs, and adults.
How It Works
Propargite acts as a mitochondrial electron transport inhibitor, disrupting energy production in mite cells. It works on contact and has some ovicidal activity, meaning it affects eggs as well as active life stages. Amite does not have systemic activity in plants but penetrates into mite colonies through physical contact.
Key Benefits
- Controls all mobile mite stages — adults, nymphs, and larvae
- Some ovicidal activity reduces reinfestation from hatching eggs
- No cross-resistance with organophosphate or pyrethroid classes
- Fast knockdown — visible mite mortality within hours of application
- Economical — concentrated EC formulation
