Developer 24% SC
Active Ingredient	Spirodiclofen 24% SC
Chemical Name	[3-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-oxo-1-oxaspiro[4.5]dec-3-en-4-yl] 2,2-dimethylbutanoate
Chemical Group	Keto-enol
Product Characteristics	Non-systemic acaricide with lipophilic nature and strong adhesion to plant surfaces. Acts by contact and stomach action. Novel and unique mode of action reducing risk of cross-resistance with conventional pesticides. Highly effective against immature stages (larvae and nymphs). Affects egg development in treated females, reducing embryo viability and egg hatch. Maintains stability under rainy conditions; best applied in moderate weather. May require up to one week to complete its full activity but provides extended residual protection. Relatively safe to natural enemies, preserving ecological balance.
Mode of Action	Inhibits the production of Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase enzyme responsible for early stages of lipid biosynthesis in mites. This disruption of lipid formation leads to gradual mortality of the pest.
Optimal Application	Apply at the beginning of early infestation stages targeting immature mites. Ensure thorough spray coverage of both upper and lower leaf surfaces. Limit application to once or twice per season within an integrated chemical control program to avoid resistance development.
Precautions	Due to its affinity to fatty media, caution should be taken when applied to oil-producing crops to avoid pesticide residues in extracted oils or pastes.
Recommended Use (According to Ministry of Agriculture)	Crop Target Pest Rate PHI Tomato Red spider mite 35 cm³ / 100 L water 3 days
Other Notes	Other locally registered products containing the same active ingredient (Spirodiclofen) have been evaluated and registered by the Ministry of Agriculture on crops such as citrus, apple, peach, guava, grapes, and watermelon.
