Description

What is RESCUE?

RESCUE is an advanced miticide and insecticide formulation that effectively controls Red Spider Mite in Citrus crops. The active ingredients, Abamectin and Spirodiclofen, work together to target all life stages of the Red Spider Mite, ensuring a long-lasting solution for pest control. With its dual-action mode of action, RESCUE prevents further infestation and protects your crops from damage caused by these pests.

Key Benefits

• Dual-action formulation: Combines Abamectin and Spirodiclofen for enhanced pest control.
• Targeted Control: Effective against all stages of Red Spider Mite.
• Safe for Citrus Crops: Designed specifically for Citrus crops with minimal residue.
• Long-lasting Protection: Provides prolonged protection from Red Spider Mite infestations.
• Easy to Apply: Comes in a user-friendly 300ml pack size for convenient application.

How It Works (Mode of Action)

RESCUE works through a two-fold mechanism:

• Abamectin: A powerful Chloride channel activator (Group 6), Abamectin interferes with the nervous system of pests by activating chloride channels. This results in paralysis and death of the pests, effectively controlling them.
• Spirodiclofen: A lipid synthesis inhibitor (Group 23), Spirodiclofen prevents the Red Spider Mite from synthesizing essential lipids, disrupting its growth and reproduction. This helps to eliminate the pest population and prevents further damage.

Together, these two ingredients provide a highly effective solution for controlling Red Spider Mite infestations in Citrus crops.
