An organic formulation in combo-pack for
effective management of specific crop pests like Red Mites, White flies
etc (The Liquid and Powder ingredients to be used in combination).
What are Mites?
Mites, along with ticks, are small arthropods belonging to the subclass Acari (also known as Acarina).
To the naked eye, spider mites look like
tiny, moving dots; however, you can see them easily with a 10X hand
lens. Adult female, the largest forms, are less than 1/20 inch long.
Spider mites lives in colonies, mostly on the undersurfaces of leaves; a
single colony may contain hundreds of individuals.
Controlling Mites, White flies and other insect pests:
Chemical control of mites generally
involves pesticides that are specifically developed for spider mite
control (miticides or accaricides). Few insecticides are effective for
spider mites and many other insect pests and many even aggravate
problems. Furthermore, most insects become resistant to new pesticides
within two or four years, making control difficult.
With these disadvantages of chemical pesticides, K-Mite stands tall in the management of Mites in following ways: 1. Contains the complex alkaloids extracted from Vitex negundo which
interfere with the immunological mechanism of these pests thus
protecting the plants. 2. Being based on alkaloids of plants extracts, pests cannot develop
resistance because alkaloids is a group of complex compounds and not a
single chemical molecule. 3. Eco-friendly posing no threat to the environment. 4. Non-toxic to non-targets including human begins.
