Duramite 24% SC

Insecticide Acarous is a non-systemic contact insecticide belonging to the Carbazate group, formulated as a concentrated suspension (SC). It is the ideal solution for combating all stages of mites.

 

**Mechanism of Action:**

- The compound exerts its effect through contact, affecting the nervous system transmitter between the central nervous system and the motor nervous system. This leads to irregular movement and tremors after three hours of acarids exposure to the insecticide, resulting in complete cessation of feeding.

 

- After 3-4 days of treatment, the compound maximizes its effect by significantly reducing the mite population. The mechanism of action of the compound differs from other acaricidal agents.

 

**Duramite:**

Duramite is a new active substance belonging to the chemical group Carbazate. It successfully controls mites that have developed resistance to other acaricides. It is highly efficient in eliminating all stages of mites (complete or mobile stages) without the need for mixing with other compounds.

 

The compound rapidly inhibits the feeding process for harmful mites (within 3 hours), halting the damage caused by them. The pre-harvest period is short compared to other acaricides, making it suitable for export crops.

 

Duramite has a prolonged residual effect, providing protection for over two weeks after treatment, making it compatible with integrated pest management programs.

 

It has no adverse effects on predators, beneficial organisms, or honey bees, allowing its use alongside other biological control elements safely. There are no visible residue effects on flowers or leaves of treated crops.

 

The compound is unaffected by rainfall or irrigation within 6 hours of treatment.

 

**Spraying Precautions:**

1. Duramite 24% SC acts through contact, so complete coverage of treated plants is essential to ensure the compound reaches both upper and lower leaf surfaces.

2. The compound should be used once per season, and in cases of severe infestation, a second treatment can be applied seven days after the first.

3. Thorough agitation is necessary during the preparation of the spray solution and during application.

4. Spraying should be avoided during strong winds to prevent compound drift.

 

**Best Spray Timing:**

The best times for spraying are early in the morning or before sunset.

 

**Compatibility:**

Duramite is compatible with fertilizers and pesticides after conducting a compatibility test.
