Kanemite (acequinocyl)
Kanemite belongs to the phenoxypyrazole class of insecticides. Its mode of action is a mitochondrial electron transport inhibitor (METI) blocking cellular respiration. This mode of action is similar to the mode of action of two other acaricides: Nexter and FujiMite. Therefore, no more than one application of compounds from the METI group is recommended per season. Kanemite is effective against European red mites and twospotted spider mites but is not effective against rust mites. Kanemite provides quick knockdown activity and up to 21 days of residual activity. Only one application per season is recommended. The compound has a 14-day preharvest interval.
