Product Overview

Immediately after an application, Akari's unique "stop-feeding action" not only stops further damage to your plants, but also halts the laying of eggs. This means that the mites are not eating further into profits while they die in 4 to 7 days. Active on all life stages, but especially effective on the plant damaging larvae, nymph, and adult stages, Akari provides residual action of 21 - 28 days. Akari’s EPA reduced-risk classification, excellent plant safety, 12-hour REI and compatibility with beneficial insects make it a powerful addition to your IPM program.

Mode of Action

Akari's mode of action is primarily as a contact miticide. It is effective on all life stages; eggs, nymphs and adults. Akari is a mitochondrial electron transport inhibitor (METI). When the active ingredient, fenpyroximate, comes in contact with target mites, it blocks cell respiration causing the pest to loose motor control and collapse. In addition to this contact activity, Akari provides cumulative mortality at each successive life stage through inhibition of molting as is seen with insect growth regulators.

Application Information

Akari is a contact miticide, therefore, thorough spray coverage of the foliage canopy is essential for optimal control. Ensure spray contact with complete leaf canopy including undersides of leaves. Treat plants when pests are at a susceptible stage and populations are building, but before crop damage occurs. Successful control can be obtained by applications of 16 - 24 fl oz per 100 gallons. Adjust spray volumes accordingly to allow for dense or overgrown foliage which otherwise may prevent adequate coverage
