Tebufenpyrad 20% WP

Tebufenpyrad 20% WP is a METI acaricide (IRAC 21A) designed for tough, recurrent mite pressure. It works by inhibiting mitochondrial Complex I, cutting ATP production so mites stop moving and feeding fast, then die—whether they ingest treated tissue or are hit by contact. Unlike knockdown-only options, it combines speed + persistence and shows activity across eggs, larvae, nymphs, and adults, helping suppress rebounds between sprays. The formulation’s translaminar reach penetrates leaf tissue to target mites sheltering on the underside, improving hit-rate where coverage is hardest.

Where it excels: on high-value crops (citrus, pome fruit, berries, grapevine, vegetables, soybeans) facing spider mites, rust/eriophyid mites, and tarsonemid mites. In-season, users see value through longer spray intervals, cleaner foliage, and lower labor per hectare when programs are built correctly and labels are followed.

Why WP, and why 20%: the 20% wettable powder balances potency with mixing stability—fast wetting, high suspensibility, and even dispersion in diverse water qualities. That translates into uniform deposition on leaves and predictable performance through calibrated sprayers. Each batch is backed by COA/MSDS and lot/expiry traceability, aligning label, spec, and documents for audits and registrations.

Program fit: built for IPM and resistance stewardship—use as part of a rotation away from 21A groups, time applications to thresholds, and maintain coverage with good nozzle choice and drift management. The product is tank-mix friendly in most programs (jar test first, follow label), making it easy to slot into existing retailer and grower protocols.

Target Mites & Crops

Built for high-value crops under persistent mite pressure. Tebufenpyrad 20% WP targets key mite groups with contact + ingestion activity and translaminar reach to the leaf underside.

Coverage at a glance (per label & local regulations):

Crop group	Typical mite targets	Practical notes
Citrus	Spider mites (Tetranychus spp.), citrus red mite (Panonychus citri), rust mites (Eriophyidae)	Translaminar action helps reach mites on the leaf underside and fruit surface; monitor oily rind scarring from rust mites.
Pome fruit (apple/pear)	European red mite (Panonychus ulmi), two-spotted spider mite (T. urticae)	Aim for even canopy coverage; rotate away from IRAC 21A within the season.
Berries (strawberry, blueberry, cane fruit)	Two-spotted spider mite, broad mite (Tarsonemidae)	Scout new growth and runners; treat hot spots early to limit spread.
Grapevine	Spider mites (Tetranychus spp.), eriophyid/rust mites	Focus on the underside of sun-exposed leaves; maintain spray volume for inner canopy.
Vegetables (solanaceous, cucurbits, leafy)	Two-spotted spider mite; broad/russet/eriophyid mites by crop	Use fine-to-medium droplets for coverage; avoid spraying during extreme heat stress.
Soybeans	Spider mites (Tetranychus spp.)	Treat at threshold; ensure full leaf coverage on lower canopy.

Positioning tips

• Start when scouting thresholds are met; treat hot spots rather than the whole block where appropriate.
• Prioritize leaf-underside coverage; calibrate sprayers and maintain agitation after adding WP.
• Build into an IPM rotation—alternate with non-21A modes to protect performance.
• Observe label-specific intervals and PHI; timings vary by crop and market.

Mode of Action & Stewardship

How it works (clear and simple)
Tebufenpyrad is a METI acaricide (IRAC 21A). It inhibits mitochondrial Complex I, cutting off ATP (energy) inside mite cells. With no energy, mites stop moving and feeding quickly and die. It works by contact and ingestion, and its translaminar movement helps reach mites hiding on the leaf underside.

Why this matters in the field

• Fast knockdown ends feeding damage quickly.
• Longer-lasting control helps stretch spray intervals when programs are well designed.
• All life stages: activity from eggs → larvae → nymphs → adults reduces rebound risk between applications.
• Better hit-rate where mites shelter: translaminar reach improves control on the leaf’s underside.

Stewardship: protect performance, slow resistance

• Rotate modes of action: alternate away from IRAC 21A to non-21A groups within the same season.
• Follow label rates and intervals: avoid “low-and-often”; use full labeled rates at the correct timing.
• Limit total 21A uses/season: avoid back-to-back 21A sprays; leave gaps of non-21A treatments between uses.
• Treat at thresholds: scout hot spots early; target pressure before populations explode.
• Integrate IPM: sanitation, resistant varieties, beneficials, and canopy management all reduce selection pressure.
• Tank-mix wisely: only where permitted; jar-test first; ensure physical compatibility and coverage.
• Keep records: field history, product/MoA used, timing, and outcome to guide future rotations.

Application best practice (coverage = control)

• Aim droplets to the leaf underside; use calibrated sprayers and maintain agitation after adding WP.
• Maintain water volume for full canopy coverage; avoid windy conditions and extreme heat stress.
• Respect REI/PHI and local regulations; never exceed label frequency.

Rates & Application

Use strictly according to the registered label in your market. The guide below helps users prepare, mix, and apply Tebufenpyrad 20% WP for consistent field results while keeping compliance and worker safety front and center.

How to position a spray (simple, practical)

• Trigger: spray when scouting thresholds or local advisory levels are reached; treat hot spots early.
• Coverage goal: wet the leaf underside where mites shelter; maintain even canopy coverage.
• Intervals: follow label interval; don’t shorten with “low-and-often” sprays—use full labeled rate at the right timing.

Mixing & loading (WP best practice)

• Pre-check: clean tank, strainers, lines. Start agitation.
• Half-fill tank with clean water (pH 5–7 preferred).
• Slurry the WP (pre-mix) in a small bucket; pour through the tank screen.
• Add in order: WP/WDG → SC/SL → EC → adjuvants, keeping agitation on.
• Top up with water to volume; keep agitation running during spraying.
• If pausing, re-agitate before restarting (WP needs suspension).
• After spray: triple-rinse container; flush lines and nozzles.

Application technique (coverage = control)

• Nozzles: fine-to-medium droplets aimed into the underside of leaves; use air-assist or angled nozzles in dense canopies.
• Water volume: adjust to crop and canopy density to achieve full coverage (orchard/vine > field veg).
• Drift: avoid high wind; use drift-reduction tips where appropriate; respect buffer zones near water.
• Heat stress: avoid spraying during extreme heat or drought stress to reduce phytotoxicity risk.

Program rules (keep performance strong)

• Rotate MoA: alternate away from IRAC 21A within the season; limit total 21A uses.
• Tank mixes: only where permitted; jar-test first; ensure physical/emulsion stability.
• Records: log field, product, MoA, date, rate, and outcome for better rotations.

Label-driven rate snapshots (format & units)

Actual rates, intervals, and PHI are defined by your local label.

• Formulation unit: WP programs typically declare dose in g/ha (or g/100 L in some orchard labels).
• Interval: follow label; align with pest growth stage and pressure.
• PHI/REI: see label; observe worker entry and harvest timings.

Compatibility

Designed to fit real-world tank programs when used as directed.

• Jar test first: Check physical compatibility and leaf safety with your local water and adjuvants.
• Mixing order (best practice): Water → WP/WDG → SC/SL → EC → adjuvants. Maintain agitation throughout.
• Water quality: Aim for pH 5–7; avoid alkaline water that can reduce performance. Use an approved buffer/conditioner if needed.
• Do not mix with strong alkalis/oxidizers. Use caution with high oil or surfactant loads, especially in hot, dry weather.
• Hardware hygiene: Start with a clean tank, lines, and strainers; flush after use.
• Small-scale check: Treat a few plants/rows first to confirm no phytotoxicity under local conditions.
