Apollo SC Miticide & Ovicide

Apollo Miticide

Couch Mites have been an ever-growing problem in Australia. Various products have been used in turf for a number of years now with good effect. However, these products are only effective on larvae and adult mites. Apollo brings a new dimension to mite control as an ovicide that specifically controls mite eggs.

Apollo has been used very successfully in horticulture crops for a number of years for egg mite control. Apollo now gives the ability to target all stages of couch mite with the ovicide activity.

FEATURES OF APOLLO

• Miticide – as a mite growth regulator
• Ovicidal activity- targets eggs of couch mites
• Schedule 5 signal heading
• Apollo is safe for bees, predatory mites and beneficial insects

HOW DOES APOLLO WORK & USE

• Apollo is absorbed through the egg case and prevents respiration on the developing embryo
• Apollo has no effect on larvae or adults. However, when female adults are exposed to Apollo egg-laying and viability slows down for a short time (several days).
• Long residual up to 45 days
