Product description
Ortan 50 EC acaricide non-systemic insecticide for fighting stages of spiders 1 liter
Ortan 50 EC acaricide non-systemic, contains the active ingredient Fenpyroximate at a concentration of 5% W/V, and comes in the form of an emulsifiable concentrate (EC). It is used to assist in controlling mobile stages of acarids and agricultural spiders such as red spider and brown acarid, when used according to the label instructions and recommended doses.
Ortan works by contact and ingestion, affecting energy production inside acarid cells by inhibiting electron transfer in mitochondria, leading to a rapid decrease in feeding and movement activity. Therefore, it is a suitable option within spider control programs in vegetables, fruit trees, citrus, grapes, and pomegranates, especially when used at the beginning of infestation with good coverage of the underside of leaves.
Acaricide for red spider and brown acarid
Spiders and acarids are pests that cause clear damage to plants, such as leaf spotting, yellowing, weak growth, leaf drop in severe cases, and reduced fruit quality. These pests often hide on the underside of leaves, so weak surface treatment is not enough to achieve good results.
Ortan 50 EC helps control mobile stages such as larvae, nymphs, and adults, but has limited effect on eggs, so the control program may need follow-up after the first spray and a carefully planned repeat to break the life cycle, without repeating use at short intervals to avoid increasing resistance.

Uses of Ortan for controlling agricultural spiders
Ortan 50 EC is used on crops exposed to spider and acarid infestation, especially during hot, dry periods or when dust and poor ventilation increase risk. It is most effective when early infestation is detected before it develops into high densities that are hard to control.
Key suitable uses:
- Control of red spider in tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, and potatoes.
- Control of red spider in watermelon, cantaloupe, and strawberries.
- Used on peaches, apricots, and plums for red spider control per recommendations.
- Control of European red mite on apples, pears, grapes, and pomegranates.
- Used on citrus to control targeted acarid species.
- Included in integrated control programs with crop rotation to reduce spider resistance.
How to use Ortan 50 EC
Ortan 50 EC is applied as a foliar spray after dilution with water, with good stirring until a homogeneous solution forms. The plant should be sprayed until thoroughly wet without excessive runoff, focusing on the underside of leaves where pests are most often found.
Usage rates according to product data:
- Tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, potatoes: 50 ml per 100 liters of water, equivalent to 0.5 ml per 1 liter of water, for red spider control.
- Peaches, apricots, plums: 50 ml per 100 liters of water for red spider control.
- Watermelon, cantaloupe, strawberries: 50 ml per 100 liters of water for red spider control.
- Citrus: 50 ml per 100 liters of water for targeted acarid control.
- Apples, pears, grapes, pomegranates: 50 ml per 100 liters of water for European red mite control.
It is preferred to spray early in the morning or late in the day, avoiding spraying during high temperatures or on stressed plants. Do not repeat spraying before 15 days unless the label instructions or agricultural specialist recommend otherwise.
Important warnings when using Ortan:
- The product’s effect on eggs is limited, so a carefully planned repeat may be necessary to break the acarid life cycle.
- Do not repeat use before 15 days.
- Avoid short-interval repetitions to prevent resistance.
- Avoid spraying in high temperatures.
- Do not use on stressed, thirsty, or weak plants.
- Target the underside of leaves for higher efficiency.
- Use personal protective equipment during preparation and application.
- Do not mix with other pesticides or fertilizers unless compatibility is confirmed.
- Keep the product away from children, animals, food, and feed.
- Wash spraying tools thoroughly after use.
Farmer’s tip:
The best results with Ortan are achieved when used at the beginning of infestation, as it quickly targets mobile stages and reduces their feeding activity. After the first application, monitor the plant in the following days, especially under the leaves, to determine if follow-up spraying is needed within a safe and appropriate period. Do not rely solely on Ortan throughout the season; use it as part of a rotation program with acaricidal pesticides from different groups to reduce resistance risk.
