- To achieve the best result:
- It is preferable to rotate with a pesticide from a different group to avoid the development of resistance (e.g., Abactin - Group 6).
Precautions for use

Advice for farmers
- For best results, ensure the leaves are completely covered, especially the undersides, as this is where spider mites tend to congregate. Early treatment is recommended to prevent infestation from developing and to stop the life cycle before it spreads.
