Harvest is quickly approaching, but a wise grape grower knows the battle against mites is not over yet. Hot, dry conditions in June through September can cause spider mites to reproduce rapidly, completing a generation in less than a week. Once a mite population explodes, yields can be reduced by up to 20 percent or more.

Protect your vineyard this season with ACRAMITE^®, KANEMITE^®, VIGILANT^® and OMITE^® Miticides from Arysta LifeScience. VIGILANT and ACRAMITE provide the flexibility of controlling spider mites at all life stages while going easy on beneficial insects and predator mites. KANEMITE offers a unique chemical subgroup for fast knockdown of all stages of spider mites while also being easy on beneficial insects and predator mites. OMITE, a highly effective rescue treatment, features a unique fuming action which penetrates into nooks and crannies and webbing where other miticide can't reach to target mites wherever they hide.
