Eradicates mites, cicadas and pear psylla eggs in deciduous, citrus and avocado orchards.Envidor is a preparation of a new chemical group (tetronic acids) with a novel mechanism of action that inhibits fatty acid synthesis in the insect body. The preparation eradicates the eggs and all nymph stages of spider mites (European red mite, Two-spotted spider mite, Persea mite, Oriental spider mite) as well as the Citrus rust mite. Additionally, the preparation affects adult females by impeding their ability to lay eggs, a phenomenon that results in their death. The preparation does not damage adult male mites. To prevent establishment of mite populations in orchards and plantations, spray the preparation when the degree of mite infestation is very low (see guidelines in the application table). Spirodoclofen does not show any cross resistance to other current acaricides and this makes spirodiclofen an attractive alternative for the control of harmful mites.In addition, the preparation eradicates the nymph stages of the green cicada, and thus prevents the establishment of the pest in orchards.
