Product description
ATHENA 118 EW Arachnicide Insecticide 500 ml ATHENA 118 EW Arachnicide Insecticide effective, contains a mixture of two active substances: Bifenthrin 10% and Abamectin 1.8%, in the form of an emulsion concentrate in water EW. The product is designed to combat a range of pests that affect agricultural crops, especially spiders, thrips, aphids, whiteflies, and grapevine borer, when used according to the label instructions and recommended doses. ATHENA 118 EW features a dual mechanism combining rapid effect and potency on the pest, making it suitable within agricultural pesticide programs and spider control programs in vegetables, fruits, and fruit trees. It is an important option when a acaricide is needed to help reduce damage from spiders and sap-sucking insects that affect plant strength and crop quality.
Arachnicide and insecticide with dual effect
Spiders are among the dangerous pests on many crops because they suck plant sap and cause yellowing and spotting on leaves, which can lead to weak growth and reduced quality of production when heavily infested. Sap-sucking pests like aphids, scale, and whiteflies can also cause deformation of new growth and weaken leaves and fruits.
Athena 118 EW relies on two active substances with different mechanisms of effect; Bifenthrin contributes to rapid action on pests, while Abamectin enhances the product's effectiveness against spiders and some pests that are difficult to control with traditional spraying alone. Therefore, it can be integrated into agricultural pesticide programs when mixed or recurrent infestations occur.

Use of Athena acaricide in crops
Athena 118 EW is used to combat spiders and insect pests on various crops. In vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, eggplants, and zucchinis, it helps reduce damage from spiders, thrips, scale, and whiteflies when sprayed at the beginning of infestation. In grapes, it can be used within grapevine borer and spider control programs according to technical recommendations.
The product is also suitable for date palms, citrus, and fruit trees, where some sap-sucking pests cause leaf weakness and reduced growth quality. Since the effectiveness of the pesticide depends on good coverage, the foliage should be sprayed thoroughly, focusing on the underside of leaves and pest gathering areas.
To achieve higher spraying efficiency, appropriate tools from the spray equipment and agricultural spraying equipment should be used, adjusting water volume and nozzle types based on plant size and canopy density.

Importance of Athena in spider control programs
Spiders are pests that can develop quickly in dry, hot environments, often showing symptoms as yellowing or light spotting on leaves, and infestation can lead to drought and general weakness of the plant if not managed early. Therefore, early intervention helps reduce damage before the pest spreads across the entire foliage.
Athena 118 EW combines acarous and insecticidal effects, making it suitable when there is a mixed infestation of spiders and some sap-sucking insects. However, it should be used within an integrated program that includes regular leaf inspection, early spraying, pesticide rotation, improving plant health, and avoiding overuse of the same active ingredient during the season.
