On 31 January, the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) approved the new registration of BASF’s Danisaraba Miticide (Cyflumetofen) Group 25A for the control of two-spotted spider mites and other damaging, web-spinning species in Australia.
This novel miticide will provide a new mode of action for Australian Horticulture that is compatible with an integrated pest management program.
Once it is made available in June, BASF’s Danisaraba Miticide can be used in fruiting vegetables (tomatoes, capsicums, chili peppers, and eggplants) for the control of two-spotted mites and
European red mite.
Note: Danisaraba Miticide is not systemic and does not have translaminar (surface residue) activity, therefore good coverage is important – any surface not covered is not toxic, including new growth.
