Acaricide/Miticide

Tebufenpyrad is active against eggs and motile forms of mites. It has a rapid knockdown effect, with complete control of mites achieved within two days. It has no plant-systemic activity, but translaminar activity means that eggs and mites attached to the lower sides of leaves are controlled. Tebufenpyrad has residual activity lasting up to five weeks. The product also has secondary activity against hemipteran species. Its activity is not temperature dependent.

Tebufenpyrad inhibits electron transport during mitochondrial respiration at site 1 thus causing fatality.

In field trials, tebufenpyrad has shown no phytotoxicity at recommended rates. It is safe to beneficial insects. Mitsubishi recommends only one application per season in rotation with other acaricides to prevent the onset of resistance.
