Mode and Mechanism of Action
Uses
LARVEX is a larvicide approved for use in organic production that will kill a broad range of pest insect larvae. This product may be applied food and non-food crops up to the day of harvest.
Use Rate
5 – 7.5 cc/L
1 – 1.5 L/Hac
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.
- 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
Specialty and row crops, including: Corn, Soy Beans, Leafy Vegetables, Cucurbits, Berries, Grapes, Potatoes, Onions, Banana, Pineapples, Fruit and Nut trees
Pest
Mites, Thrips, Whiteflies, Aphids, Leafminers
Monitoring
(L / 200 L water)
0.35 to 0.6
Observations
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.
