Mode and Mechanism of Action
Uses
Agricultural crops, non-ag crops such as terrestrial and indoor woody and herbaceous ornamentals, greenhouse, garden plants, and turf.
Use Rate
0.5 – 1cc/L
0.1 – 0.2 L/Ha
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.
