Spirodiclofen is an organochlorine acaricide, a dichlorobenzene, an oxaspiro compound and a gamma-lactone.

It derives from a 1,3-dichlorobenzene.

Spirodiclofen is an insecticide/acaricide belonging to the chemical class of ketoenols or tetronic acids,

and acts as an inhibitor of lipid biosynthesis, mainly against mites.

It has registered uses in many countries on fruits, fruiting vegetables, tree nuts, coffee and hops.

The manufacturer supplied information on identity, metabolism, storage stability, residue analysis,

use pattern, residues resulting from supervised trials on grapefruit, lemons, mandarins, oranges,

apples, pears, cherries, peaches, plums, blackberries, currants, grapes, raspberries, strawberries,

papaya, cucumbers, gherkins, sweet peppers, tomatoes, almonds, coconut, pecans, coffee, and hops,

fates of residues during processing, processing, distribution in the edible portion and livestock feeding studies.

Why use the Spirodiclofen?

Mites, mussel scale and pear sucker can be especially difficult to control in orchards and once established destroy fruit quality.

Mites are notoriously challenging to control and the choice of effective products is limited.

Spirodiclofen has a unique mode of action and shows safety to anthocorids –

making it an essential component in pear sucker control programmes.

Main advantages

• Broad-spectrum acaricide
• Unique mode of action
• Excellent long-lasting protection
• Activity on pear sucker and scales
• IPM compatible with anthocorid safety
