Arysta LifeScience North America Receives Label Expansion of Specialty Miticide
CARY, N.C., September 22, 2008 - Arysta LifeScience North America today announced the label expansion of Kanemite®
15 SC Miticide. The approval by the Environmental Protection Agency
expanded the citrus label, offering growers protection beyond just
oranges, grapefruits, and lemons. The Kanemite Miticide label now also
protects tree nuts and grapes from Pacific, Willamette and twospotted
spider mites. “With the expansion of the Kanemite label, we’re able to offer
excellent control of pest mites beyond the original labeled crops,”
says Steve Miller, Product Manager Horticulture, Arysta LifeScience
North America. “In addition, this new label adds much needed protection
from European red mite, twospotted spider mite and other key mites to
the citrus label, as well as Pacific spider mite to the pome fruit and
strawberry labels.” The fast knockdown of Kanemite and it’s unique mode of action make
it the ideal choice to help manage mite resistance. The active
ingredient, acequinocyl, has no known cross-resistance and delivers
long-lasting control with minimal negative impact on beneficials and
predator mites. Headquartered in Tokyo,
Japan, Arysta LifeScience is the world’s largest privately held crop
