Mode of action: MILBEKNOCK is a milbemectin-based insect-acaricide used in horticultural crops, controlling a broad spectrum of mites and other insects such as whitefly, aphids, lepidopterans, leafhoppers, leafminers, thrips, etc.
It is produced on the basis of a natural substance obtained from the bacterium Streptomyces hygroscopicus subsp. Aureolacrimosus, being considered as a substance from a natural source.
With a unique mode of action different from other conventional acaricides, astFel acts on the peripheral nervous system, resulting in mites and other insects that come into contact with the product dying without any movement or spasm.
Mites can remain on leaves but are paralysed, stop feeding and die. It is effective on all stages of development eggs, larvae, nymphs and adults.
Suppression of reproduction in females contributes to a residual effect. The product is rapidly absorbed into the leaves where it stays for up to several weeks. Maximum mite control is achieved 7-14 days after application. It also has a translaminar action and is not influenced by temperatures at the time of application.
Pause time to harvest: vines (wine and table grapes) - 14 days; apple orchards - 14 days; cucumbers - 7 days;
