Powerful Control Against Citrus Rust Mites
Ariston 43% SC is a highly effective, non-systemic acaricide specifically formulated to combat citrus rust mites. Its targeted action ensures precise control, minimizing potential harm to beneficial insects and the environment.
Key Composition and Dosage
Bifenazate: The active ingredient responsible for the effective control of citrus rust mites. Its non-systemic nature means it works directly on contact with the pest.
Dosage: Apply as directed on the product label. Dosage may vary depending on the severity of the infestation and the size of the treated area. Always follow label instructions carefully for optimal results and safety.
Mechanism of Action

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, eye protection, and a mask, during application. Follow label instructions carefully regarding application methods, rates, and safety precautions. Avoid spraying during periods of high wind or when rain is expected.
Environmental Considerations
While Ariston 43% SC is effective against citrus rust mites, it's crucial to use it responsibly. Avoid over-application and follow label instructions precisely to minimize potential environmental impact. Proper disposal of empty containers is also essential.
Storage and Shelf Life
Store Ariston 43% SC in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Refer to the product label for information on shelf life and storage conditions to ensure optimal efficacy.
