- Pyrodon 200 WP is an acaricide formulated as a wettable powder containing pyridaben 20%. It is highly effective against red spider mites and other motile mites in their various immature stages. It works by contact and quickly stops mite activity thanks to its strong effect on eggs and nymphs, which breaks the mite life cycle and reduces the spread of infestation. It shows results within a short time when used correctly and is suitable for vegetables, fruit trees, grapes and ornamental plants.
