About Fenpyroximate
JOSHI AGRO & PESTICIDES offers wide range of INSECTICIDES - PESTICIDES - FUNGISCIDES - WEEDICIDES - HERBICIDES for all Crops. Contract Manufacturer - exporter distributers. All grades available in Technical and Bulk Formulation also in small ready to spray pack.
Mode of Action and EffectivenessFenpyroximate acts as a mitochondrial electron transport inhibitor (METI), disrupting energy production in mites and offering rapid miticidal and ovicidal activity. This potent contact acaricide works efficiently against various mite species, making it ideal for use on critical crops such as fruits, vegetables, and ornamentals.
Storage, Stability, and PackagingThe product remains stable for up to two years when stored under standard conditions in its original, unopened 25 kg fiber drum. Its low moisture (0.5%) and ash content (0.1%) enhance longevity and ensure consistent quality during storage and transportation.
User Safety and Environmental ProfileFenpyroximate possesses low toxicity to mammals and a mild scent, augmenting its safety profile for agricultural use. Practically insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, it is easy to handle during preparation and application, minimizing risk to both users and non-target organisms.
FAQs of Fenpyroximate:
Q: How should Fenpyroximate be applied to crops for optimum results?
A: Fenpyroximate should be applied as a spray using recommended dilution in organic solvents, ensuring thorough coverage of plant surfaces to effectively control mites on fruits, vegetables, and ornamentals. Always follow label directions and safety guidelines.
Q: What benefits does Fenpyroximate offer compared to traditional acaricides?
A: Fenpyroximate provides effective mite control with low mammalian toxicity, fast action through contact and ovicidal activity, and high stability, making it a reliable and safer alternative for integrated pest management.
Q: When is the ideal time to use Fenpyroximate for mite management?
A: For best results, use Fenpyroximate at the first sign of mite infestation, ideally during early pest development stages, to prevent population build-up and protect crops efficiently.
Q: Where is Fenpyroximate sourced and commonly used?
A: Fenpyroximate is manufactured in China and distributed globally, including India, by exporters, importers, suppliers, and traders. It is widely used in agricultural settings such as farms, greenhouses, and orchards.
Q: What is the recommended storage process for Fenpyroximate?
A: Store Fenpyroximate in its original, tightly sealed 25 kg fiber drum in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Avoid exposure to moisture, direct sunlight, and extreme temperatures to maintain its efficacy throughout its two-year shelf life.
Q: How does Fenpyroximates molecular properties affect its solubility and usage?
A: Owing to its molecular structure (C24H27NO4), Fenpyroximate is practically insoluble in water but dissolves in organic solvents, which facilitates its application as a spray formulation for effective agricultural use.
