Torque 550 SC is a specific acaricide that provides exceptional control of spiders from vineyards, fruit trees and vegetables.

Mode of action and use:

It acts by contact, being extremely effective over a long period of time, including against mucus forms resistant to organophosphorus insecticides / acaricides and derived hydrocarbons. Torque 550 SC acaricide protects predatory spiders, does not affect beneficial bees and insects, constituting the product that should not be missed from full-scale programs. Torque 550 SC has a low toxicity to birds but is toxic to fish. Treatments should be done at the optimum time to prevent the consequences of a strong infestation, knowing that the multiplication of mite populations is very rapid.

The application of the Torque 550 SC must be carried out before the number of spiders exceeds 2-3 specimens on the leaf or the appearance of the first movable forms. The effect of treatment lasts for at least 3-4 weeks.
