- Kanmite 15% SC is a specialized acaricide containing the active ingredient Acequinocyl at a concentration of 15% in the form of a suspension concentrate. It is designed to control harmful mites and spider mites that cause yellowing of leaves, stunted growth, and reduced yields. It is used to control red spider mites, two-spotted spider mites, European red spider mites, citrus rust mites, pear rust mites, peach rust mites, and broadleaf mites on vegetable crops, fruit trees, grapevines, citrus fruits, and ornamental plants.
- It works by direct contact, disrupting cellular respiration within the pest, thus halting energy production and efficiently eliminating motile stages. Its unique mechanism of action aids in crop rotation programs and reduces the chances of resistance development. It performs best when applied early with thorough coverage of the undersides of leaves where infestation is concentrated.
Product Features
- It is specialized against mites and not a general insecticide, therefore its effectiveness is targeted and precise.
- Effective on nymphs and adults, thus rapidly reducing density.
- A different mechanism of action helps to break down resistance when the effectiveness of some common materials is impaired.
- Suitable for use within Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs.
- A short curfew period for vegetables (1 day) allows for a quick harvest.
- Suitable for hot conditions when spraying timing is adhered to.
- A high-quality Japanese product, officially registered within the Kingdom.

Professional advice
- Because Canmite primarily affects the mobile stages, its application at the onset of infestation yields the best results. To ensure complete disruption of the spider mite life cycle during the season, it is recommended to incorporate it into a rotation program with an ovipositor to minimize the likelihood of re-infestation or the development of resistance.
