PRODUCT FEATURES
- Maximite is very effective acaricide with its contact action
- Maximite is a broad spectrum acaricide
- Maximite belongs to the Phenoxypyrozole class of acaricide
- Effective on multiple mite growth stages: larva, nymph, adult
- Maximite provides rapid “stop feeding” action thus minimizing crop damage
- It provides long-lasting control when applied at the recommended dose
- It also inhibits oviposion of female nymphs
- Disturb the energy generation at mitochondria electron transport at complex
- Relatively safe on non-target organisms and beneficial insects
- Maximite is compatible with most commonly used fungicides & insecticides
MODE OF ACTION
- Maximite is a contact and stomach acaricide; belongs to METI (Mitochondrion Electron Transport Inhibition) compound group
- Maximite acts by disruption of energy generation process. It controls all motile stages of mites by inhibiting cellular respiration in the mitochondrion of cells which results in rapid cessation of all biological activities, including feeding and reproduction
- Which leads to the paralysis and death of mites
- Mortality of mites can be observed within 3 to 7 days after intoxication
Direction of Use
EQUIPMENT USED IN APPLICATION: Knaspsack sprayer, foot sprayer, rocking sprayer and battery operated power sprayer for high volume spraying. PREPARATION OF SPRAY SOLUTION: Measure out the required quantity of Fenpyroximate 5 % EC and mix well with a small quantity of water. Add the remaining quantity of water as per the spray volume required with thorough agitation.
METHOD & TIME OF APPLICATION
