Acramite (bifenazate)
Acramite's active ingredient, bifenazate, belongs to the carbazate class of chemistry, providing a new mode of action for this acaricide. This summer acaricide is registered for the control of mobile forms of mites on apples, pears, peaches, nectarines, plums, prunes, grapes, hops, and strawberries. Acramite™ is very active against all stages of two-spotted mites and motile stages of European red mite, but it will not control rust mites. Acramite™ can be used up to 7 days before harvest (PHI) on apples and pears; 14 days on grapes and hops; 3 days on peaches, nectarines, plums and prunes; and 1 day on strawberries. On all registered crops the restricted entry interval (REI) is 12 hours, except for some activities on grapes where the REI is extended to 5 days. The compound provides quick mite knockdown through contact activity and long residual control. Acramite™ is not systemic in action; therefore complete coverage is essential for product activity. The recommended rate is 0.75 to 1.0 lb per acre in minimum of 50 gallons per acre. Only one application per season is permitted.
