CONTROL SPIDER MITES NOW
Sultan®
miticide is tough on spider mites and soft on beneficials
1. Tell us about Sultan miticide. What are some of its key
benefits for greenhouse and nursery operations?
Sultan miticide is an innovative pest control solution from
BASF that is hard on spider mites and soft on beneficials,
making it a very safe chemistry to use in an integrated pest
management (IPM) program. Its unique mode of action
offers growers an effective and long-lasting solution against
all life stages of spider mites.
2. How does Sultan miticide fit into an IPM program?
Sultan miticide provides rapid, targeted knockdown of
two-spotted spider mites, Lewis mites and many more with
no adverse effects on beneficial insects or predaceous
mites, helping growers build and sustain effective IPM
programs that include BCAs.
Additionally, when used in a rotation with a B. Bassiana
product like Velifer® fungal contact insecticide/miticide,
growers can extend the time between conventional
applications to help with resistance management.
3. Why is it important for growers to begin thinking about
purchasing Sultan miticide and other BASF products now?
When it is hot and dry, mites thrive; this makes July an
optimal time for growers to consider Sultan miticide as a key
solution for their fall crops. Its excellent plant safety profile
makes Sultan miticide a great option for even the most
sensitive crops, including poinsettia bracts and flowers.
Growers can add a plant-safe adjuvant of choice to manage
residue, spots or drops.
We understand the unique challenges faced by growers,
which is why we provide powerful, fast and targeted
solutions when they are needed the most. In the month
