- Hexiron 100 EC is a highly effective acaricide against spider mites in all their susceptible life stages. It is characterized by its potent action and long-lasting protection. It works by contact and also has an intestinal effect, in addition to its ability to penetrate from the upper to the lower surface of leaves, allowing it to reach hidden mites. It combats eggs and young mites, while not directly eliminating adult mites, but it prevents their reproduction by destroying the eggs laid by previously treated mites. It is used to protect vegetables, fruit trees, citrus fruits, grapes, and ornamental plants.
