Acaricide-insecticide for use in organic production
Aramite is an insecticide-acaricide for use in organic production that contains a blend of natural plant oils, tested and proven to kill and control a broad spectrum of piercing-sucking insects including, but not limited to, mites, aphids, scales, leafminers and whiteflies. It can also control lace bugs, tent caterpillars, bagworms and beetles.
Aramite is an OMRI Listed broad spectrum insecticide-acaricide that acts by contact and translaminar activity. It does not require PHI or reentry interval periods
- OMRI Listed
- Provides rapid knockdown and kill
- Uses low rates and has equivalent activity and residual control to that of synthetic insecticides
- Is safe for use in and around sensitive accounts
- Does not require PHI (Pe Harvest Interval) nor REI (Reentry Interval) periods; also, it does not require tolerance levels of residues in harvested food commodities
- Minimum risk pesticide.
Mode and Mechanism of Action
Uses
Can be used to control broad spectrum of piercing-sucking insects affecting a broad variety of crops. Insects affected include European red mite, Pacific spider mite, strawberry spider mite, twospotted spider mite, whitefly, leafminers (aphids), Asian citrus psylid, broad mite, citrus bud mite, citrus rust mite and others.
Use Rate
32 – 48oz/ac
ARAMITE™ destabilizes and denatures the proteins in the cell wall membranes, as well as those in the ribosomes, mitochondria and nucleus of insects and mites, resulting in electrolyte depletion and cell death.
Symptoms
- Paralysis: Within the first 12 hours, it immediately causes knockout effects in some cases. This symptom is an irreversible sign of death.
- Death: Insects do not recover, leading to rapid mortality within 24 hours after application.
Monitoring
It is recommended to conduct evaluations 1 to 3 days after application.
Characteristics
- Offers efficacy comparable to synthetic products.
- Does not harm the environment.
- Does not affect beneficial fauna or pollinating bees.
- Key tool for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and resistance management.
- Compatible for tank mixing with commonly used crop protection products, including biologicals.
- Enhances foliar absorption and the penetration of insecticides and acaricides through spiracles.
- Pleasant cinnamon scent.
| Crop | Pest | Rate (L/200 water) | Observations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Specialty and row crops, including: Corn, Soy Beans, Leafy Vegetables, Cucurbits, Berries, Grapes, Potatoes, Onions, Banana, Pineapples, Fruit and Nut trees | Mites, Thrips, Whiteflies, Aphids, Leafminers | 0.35 to 0.6 | It is recommended to apply two consecutive applications. Apply with a water volume that allows maximum application coverage. The use of an adjuvant that enhances application coverage is recommended. |
| Megalurotrhips usitatus | 1.0 | Perform preventive applications before the insect enters the flower. |
