Torque 550 SC is a specific acaricide that ensures an exceptional control of spiders from vine crops, fruit trees, and vegetables.
Mode of action and use: It acts by contact, being extremely effective over a long period of time, including against forms of mites resistant to insecticides / organophosphorus acaricides and derived hydrocarbons. TORQUE 550 SC acaricide protects predatory spiders, does not affect bees and useful insects, being the product that should not be missing from full control programs. TORQUE 550 SC has low toxicity to birds but is toxic to fish. The treatments must be performed at the optimal time, to prevent the consequences of a strong infestation, knowing that the multiplication of mite populations is very fast. The break time until harvest is 3 days for vines and 14 days for fruit trees.
The application of the TORQUE 550 SC product must be carried out before the number of spiders exceeds 2-3 specimens per leaf or when the first mobile forms appear. The effect of treatment lasts at least 3-4 weeks. Due to its contact action, it is very important that the product is applied so as to ensure complete coverage of the plant with a solution and, especially, the lower parts of the leaves.
