Description
Summary:The next best miticides in our trials were Acramite and Zeal,which provided excellent knockdown of mites for two to three weeks.Compared to Fujimite and Envidor, mite populations were similar forthe first two to three week period, but were then quicker to returnto pretreatment levels in about three to four weeks. In the case ofZeal, this is likely due to a reduced ability of the product toenter into the leaf at hull split compared to early in the yearwhen the leaves are softer.
