- Kanemite 15% SC is a specialized acaricide containing the active ingredient acequinocyl 15% as a suspension concentrate, designed to control harmful mites and spider mites that cause leaf yellowing, weak growth and lower yields. It controls red spider mites, two-spotted spider mites, European red mites, citrus rust mites, pear rust mites, peach rust mites and broad mites on vegetables, fruit trees, grapes, citrus and ornamental plants.
- It acts directly by contact, disrupting cellular respiration in the pest so energy production stops and the mobile stages are eliminated efficiently. Its different mode of action supports rotation programs and reduces the risk of resistance. It performs best when applied early with good coverage of the leaf undersides, where infestations concentrate.
Key Features:
- Specialized for mites, not a general insecticide, so its action is targeted and precise
- Effective on nymphs and adults, quickly reducing mite populations
- Different mode of action helps break resistance where common actives have weakened
- Suitable for integrated pest management (IPM) programs
- Short pre-harvest interval on vegetables (1 day) for quick harvesting
- Suitable for hot conditions when spray timing is respected
- High-quality Japanese product, officially registered in Saudi Arabia

Orkida Tip:
- Because Kanemite acts mainly on the mobile stages, applying it at the start of infestation gives the best results. To fully break the mite life cycle during the season, include it in a rotation program with an ovicidal acaricide to reduce the chance of re-infestation or resistance.
