VAP-Rababa 20% SC Acaricide for All Spider Mite Life Stages 500 ml – Cyflumetofen 20%

• VAP-Rababa 20% SC is a specialized acaricide containing the active ingredient cyflumetofen 20% as a suspension concentrate, used to control spider mites on vegetables, fruit trees, citrus and ornamentals. It controls all mite life stages from eggs to adults, reducing infestation at more than one stage of the pest life cycle. It acts by contact and disrupts energy production inside mite cells, stopping activity and finally killing the pest. It has a fast knockdown and residual effect, and gives the best results when sprayed early with good coverage, especially of the leaf undersides. It belongs to IRAC Group 25A, making it an important option in rotation and mite resistance management programs.

Key Features

• Controls all mite stages – eggs, larvae, nymphs and adults – for control at more than one stage.

Warnings and Precautions

• Apply at the first signs of infestation for the best control.
• Ensure good coverage, as the product acts by contact and does not move systemically in the plant.
• Do not use Group 25A products consecutively; rotate with active ingredients from other groups.
• Do not enter the treated area for 12 hours after spraying unless necessary and with suitable protective equipment.
• Avoid spraying in strong wind or unsuitable weather.
• Wear personal protective equipment during preparation and spraying.
• Keep away from children, food and animal feed.

🌿 Orkida Tip

• The advantage of VAP-Rababa is that it does not only hit adult mites; it works on different stages of the infestation cycle, from eggs to adults. Use it as soon as mites appear and focus the spray on the undersides of leaves so the product reaches the pest. Rotating between different groups keeps control strong and reduces the risk of resistance.
