ISP ProForce Malice Duo Advanced Miticide

Dual active Miticide for Generational Management of Couch Mite

Malice Duo Advanced Miticide is a dual active miticide, containing the active ingredients Abamectin 18g/L and Clofentezine 187.5g/L

Malice Duo Advanced Miticide is a suspension concentrate formulation.

Malice Duo Advanced Miticide is registered for the control of Couch Mite in all turf situations

Malice Duo Advanced Miticide has been developed and manufactured in Australia.

 

Key Features

  • Effective knockdown and residual activity of mite populations. Controls feeding stages of mites, whilst also controlling the egg and early mite larval stages. Provides more complete control of the population.
  • Provides residual control for up to 4-6 weeks.
  • Multiple modes of action used: Group 10A and Group 6. There are no limitations on number of treatments per season. This is unlike some other miticide chemistry on the market.
  • Suspension Concentrate (SC) formulation, specifically developed for reduced odour in turfgrass situations.
  • No solvents within formulation, limiting cuticle impact on the plant.
  • Researched formulation. Malice Duo Advanced Miticide has been extensively researched and trialed in turf situations.
  • Useful product to be used in an integrated approach to mite management.
  • Proven turf safety. Tested on more than 15 turf species without causing any damage.
  • Limited re-entry period restrictions, providing ease of use in the urban environment.

Mode of Action

GROUP 10A l 6 INSECTICIDE

Abamectin blocks the transmission of electrical activity in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells mostly by enhancing the effects of glutamate (an important inhibitory neurotransmitter in insects) at the glutamate-gated chloride channel.

By activating glutamate-gated chloride channels, the mite becomes paralysed, stops feeding and dies. Abamectin has contact toxicity, but its stomach toxicity is much stronger.

After 2-3 days of spraying abamectin, its insecticidal efficacy will be best and the longevity of residues will last about 7-15 days.

Abamectin moves via translaminar activity (one side of leaf to the other) to kill mites that hide in the internal leaf sheath’s.

Clofentezine is a specific acaricide with contact action, and long residual activity.

It acts primarily by interfering with cell growth and differentiation during the final stages of embryonic (ovicide), and early larval development.

IRAC (Insecticide Resistance Action committee) class Clofentezine as an insect or acaricide growth regulator. Clofentezine mimics growth hormones by directly affecting cuticle formation or lipid biosynthesis, halting their ability to develop any further and essentially preventing their lifecycle completion (IRAC, 2016).
