Hexyron 100 EC is a highly effective acaricide against spider mites in all their susceptible stages, with strong action and long-lasting protection. It works by contact and stomach action and has translaminar activity, moving from the upper to the lower leaf surface to reach hidden mites. It controls eggs and young stages; it does not kill adults directly, but prevents reproduction by destroying the eggs laid by treated mites. It is used to protect vegetables, fruit trees, citrus, grapes and ornamental plants.
