Superior Scale Insect Control: A Two-Formulation Combination

Scale insects are notoriously difficult to control due to their waxy protective cover. This two-formulation tank-mix delivers contact kill, systemic protection, and residual suppression across all life stages.

 


Formulation A: Acetamiprid 4% + Chlorpyrifos 30% EC
Chlorpyrifos provides rapid contact knockdown, penetrating the waxy cuticle of adult scales. Acetamiprid adds systemic action, translocating into new flushes to kill crawlers as they feed. The EC solvent system enhances cuticle penetration and rainfastness.

Formulation B: Diafenthiuron 20% + Tolfenpyrad 10% SC
Tolfenpyrad delivers quick contact kill and stops feeding within hours. Diafenthiuron disrupts cellular energy metabolism, providing deep, long-lasting suppression of resistant populations. The SC formulation ensures fine particle coverage on waxy surfaces.

Why It Works
• EC + SC dual formulation penetrates the armor and covers waxy surfaces thoroughly

• Systemic acetamiprid reaches hidden crawlers on new growth

• Three modes of action (organophosphate, neonicotinoid, mitochondrial disruptors) overcome resistance

• Immediate knockdown + extended residual (7–14 days)

Application: Target the crawler emergence peak. Repeat 10–14 days later if needed. Suitable for citrus, mango, avocado, coffee, and ornamentals.

"Penetrates the armor. Stops the crawlers. Breaks the cycle."
