MICROMITE® Miticide

Apply 6.25 oz of MICROMITE 80WGS per acre (two-water soluble pouches) when very early-feather leaf flush is present, or oviposition by Asian citrus psyllid (ACP) is expected or seen, or leaf distortion is evident.
Split Application: Applying split applications of MICROMITE will maximize spray coverage of the citrus leaf flush. Spray 3.125 oz per acre (one-water soluble pouch) when very early-feather leaf flush is present, or oviposition by ACP is expected or seen, or leaf distortion is evident. Apply the second application of MICROMITE at 3.125 oz per acre as needed to protect new flushes of growth. Do not apply subsequent applications of MICROMITE for at least 30 days.
Low-Volume Application: Except in California, apply in 3–5 gallons of finished spray solution per acre by ground using air-blast or air-assisted spray equipment. Spray nozzles that produce a droplet size with a volume median diameter of 90 microns or larger are required. In California, do not apply in a volume of less than 10 gallons per acre.
The addition of petroleum spray oil, such as FC435-66, enhances spray coverage and penetration of MICROMITE into ACP eggs, nymphs and adults, improving activity on each life stage. MICROMITE’s activity on ACP is through contact, ingestion and/or absorption. It has direct activity on eggs and nymphs of ACP.
MICROMITE prevents eggs from hatching and nymphs from molting when exposed to treated surfaces. Adult female ACP that feed on or contact treated surfaces produce fewer eggs able to hatch.
MICROMITE reduces the reproductive potential of an existing ACP population.
MICROMITE does not control adult ACP.

Apply MICROMITE 80WGS at 6.25 oz per acre (two-water soluble pouches) when citrus rust mites (CRM) are first observed on citrus leaves and/or fruit. Rotate to a product with a different mode of action before reapplying MICROMITE in a CRM control program.
The addition of petroleum spray oil, such as FC435-66, enhances spray coverage and penetration of MICROMITE into immature CRM, improving activity on each stage of instar. Petroleum spray oil also aids knockdown of the CRM population present at application.
MICROMITE’s activity is on immature stages of CRM and has its greatest activity on late-instar CRM.
MICROMITE prevents immature CRM from molting. The full effect of MICROMITE on a CRM population may not be apparent for up to 14 days after application. MICROMITE does not control CRM eggs or adults.

Apply 6.25 oz of MICROMITE 80WGS per acre (two-water soluble pouches) when leaf flush is present and the oldest leaf is approximately one-quarter expanded, or when oviposition by citrus leafminer (CLM) is expected or seen, or when leaf mining is evident.
Split Application: Applying a split application of MICROMITE will maximize spray coverage of the citrus leaf flush. Spray 3.125 oz per acre (one-water soluble pouch) when leaf flush is present and the oldest leaf is approximately one-quarter expanded, or when oviposition by CLM is expected or seen, or leaf mining is evident. Apply the second application of MICROMITE at 3.125 oz per acre as needed to protect new flushes of growth. Do not apply subsequent applications of MICROMITE for at least 30 days.
Low-Volume Application: Apply in 3–5 gallons of finished spray solution per acre by ground using air-blast or air-assisted spray equipment. Spray nozzles that produce a droplet size with a volume median diameter of 90 microns or larger are required. In California, do not apply in a volume of less than 10 gallons per acre. The addition of petroleum spray oil, such as FC435-66, enhances spray coverage and penetration of MICROMITE into CLM mines, eggs, larvae and pupae, improving activity on each life stage.
MICROMITE’s activity on CLM is through contact, ingestion and/or absorption. It has direct activity on eggs, larvae and pupae of CLM by preventing eggs from hatching, larvae from molting, and moths from emerging from pupae exposed to treated surfaces. MICROMITE reduces the reproductive potential of an existing CLM population. MICROMITE does not control CLM moths.

Apply 6.25 oz of MICROMITE 80WGS per acre (two-water soluble pouches) when oviposition on citrus peel surfaces by citrus peelminer (CPM) is expected or seen.
Split Application: Applying a split application of MICROMITE will maximize spray coverage of the fruit surface. Spray 3.125 oz per acre (one-water soluble pouch) when peelminer oviposition begins. Apply the second application of MICROMITE at 3.125 oz per acre as needed to protect expanded fruit growth. Do not apply subsequent applications of MICROMITE for at least 30 days.
The addition of petroleum spray oil, such as FC435-66, enhances spray coverage and penetration of MICROMITE into CPM eggs, improving activity on this life stage.
MICROMITE’s activity on CPM is through absorption into eggs. It prevents eggs from hatching. Protection from fruit damage by CPM larvae may last up to several weeks. CPM larval control will lessen over time as new, unprotected tissue develops as a result of fruit expansion. MICROMITE does not control CPM moths.

Apply 6.25 oz of MICROMITE 80WGS per acre (two-water soluble pouches) to citrus leaf flush when the oldest leaf is approximately one-half expanded, or when adult citrus root weevils (CRW) are seen, or recent leaf feeding is evident.
The addition of petroleum spray oil, such as FC435-66, enhances coverage and penetration of MICROMITE into adult CRW and eggs, improving activity on each life stage. Petroleum spray oil also reduces the attachment of CRW egg masses to citrus leaf surfaces.
MICROMITE’s activity is through contact, ingestion, and/or absorption. It has direct activity on eggs laid on treated surfaces by preventing them from hatching. Adult female CRW that feed on or contact treated surfaces produce fewer eggs able to hatch. MICROMITE reduces the reproductive potential of citrus root weevil populations. MICROMITE does not control adult citrus root weevils.

Apply 6.25 oz of MICROMITE 80WGS per acre (two-water soluble bags) when katydids or grasshoppers are first observed or recent leaf and/or fruit feeding is seen.
Split Application: Applying a split application of MICROMITE may be useful in maximizing spray coverage and protection of fruit and leaves from katydid and/or grasshopper damage. Spray 3.125 oz per acre (one-water soluble bag) when katydids and/or grasshoppers are first observed, or recent leaf and/or fruit feeding is seen. Apply the second application of MICROMITE at 3.125 oz per acre as needed to protect new growth. Do not apply subsequent applications of MICROMITE for at least 30 days.

Apply 20 fl oz of MICROMITE 2L per acre when very early-feather leaf flush is present, or oviposition by Asian citrus psyllid (ACP) is expected or seen, or leaf distortion is evident.
Split Application: Applying split applications of MICROMITE 2L will maximize spray coverage of the entire citrus leaf flush. Spray 10 fl oz per acre when very early-feather leaf flush is present, or oviposition by ACP is expected or seen, or leaf distortion is evident. Apply the second application of MICROMITE 2L at 10 fl oz per acre as needed to protect new flushes of growth. Do not apply subsequent applications of MICROMITE 2L for at least 30 days.
