Description:

AGRIVENTURE PROGITE is a broad-spectrum acaricide (true miticide) that controls all life stages of plant-damaging mites through contact and fumigant action. It is widely used to manage pests like red spider mites, pink mites, and scarlet mites on crops like tea, apples, chillies, and vegetables.

Technical content: Propargite 57% EC

Key Features & Benefits:

• Fast-Acting Knockdown: Instantly stops mite feeding activity and provides rapid mortality.
• Dual Action Control: Targets hard-to-reach pests in dense crop canopies through both contact and fumigant properties.
• Combats Resistance: Highly effective against mite strains that have developed resistance to other standard miticides.
• Life-Stage Efficacy: Controls mites across all life stages, preventing population resurgence.
• Rain-Fast Protection: Offers lasting residual control even after rainfall, making it an excellent rescue treatment.

Crops suitability: Tea, Apples, Chilies, Brinjal (Eggplant), Cotton, Corn, Beans, Strawberries, Grapes, and Citrus Fruits.

Commonly used for (Insect / Diseases): Spider mites, red mites, pink mites, scarlet mites, and two-spotted spider mites.

Mode of entry:

• Contact action: The chemical affects the pest through direct physical contact with the spray or via residual contact with treated plant surfaces.
• Vapor/Fumigant Action: It creates localized fumes within the dense crop canopy, which helps control mites that may not be directly hit by the initial spray.
• Biochemical Action: It interferes with key mite enzyme systems, disrupting normal metabolism, respiration, and electron transport functions in their nervous system.

Mode of action:

• Respiratory Inhibition: It severely interferes with the mite's respiratory system by disrupting oxidative phosphorylation, which leads to energy depletion, rapid paralysis, and death.
• Enzyme & Nervous System Disruption: It interferes with key enzyme systems in the mite, halting vital functions like metabolism and electron transport.
• Instant Feeding Cessation: Mites immediately stop feeding upon coming into contact with the product, providing instant protection to the crop.

Mode of application: Foliar spray

Dose: 20 - 25ml in 15-liter water
