Frequently Asked Questions
Omite is a broad-spectrum acaricide/miticide used to control various mites that damage the crops. It controls two spotted spider mites, mites, red mites, pink mites, purple mites, and scarlet mites.
Omite miticide contains Propargite 57% EC that acts through contact action.
Omite miticide can be used for brinjal, chilli, apple and tea for controlling a wide range of mites.
The active ingredient of Omite interferes with the key enzyme activities interrupting usual metabolism, respiration and electron transport in the mite’s nervous system. This ultimately results in death of the destructive mites.
Omite miticide can be used at a dosage range of:
- 0.5-3 ml/litre
- 100-600 ml in 200 litres of water per acre
- 7.5-45 ml/15 litre pump.
Note: Refer to the label instructions for crop-specific dosages.
Yes, Omite miticide can be harmful to beneficial insects if applied incorrectly. Since it is a broad-spectrum miticide, it may affect pollinators. To reduce the risk of harming beneficial insects, it is advisable to spray during early morning or late afternoon.
Choose a non-windy or no-rain day to apply Omite miticide to avoid drifting and washing away. Cooler hours of the day, like early morning or late afternoon, are ideal for spraying. It is advised to spray Omite as soon as the insect attack is spotted.
Omite can be mixed with some compatible chemicals except for oil sprays, alkaline products as well as surfactants or wetting agents. But it is recommended to seek expert advice or follow label claims.
