Apollo Ks

Precision control of mites in orchards and field crops

Apollo SC, manufactured by Irvita Plant Protection (a member of the ADAMA Group, Israel), is a specialized acaricide designed for professional pest management. Unlike broad-spectrum insecticides, this product focuses on disrupting the life cycle of spider mites by targeting their eggs, larvae, and protonymphs.

Field Application Scenarios

In modern agricultural practice, Apollo SC is the go-to solution for growers managing apple orchards, peach plantations, blackcurrant, grapevines, and soybean fields. It is most effective when applied at the early stages of mite infestation. By acting as an ovicide and sterilizing adult mites, it prevents the next generation from developing, effectively «resetting» the pest pressure in the field.

Operational Advantages

• Long-lasting Protection: One application provides up to 30–50 days of residual activity, significantly reducing the need for repeated spraying.
• Strategic Timing: Because it stops the reproductive cycle, it is best used as a preventative measure or at the very first sight of mite activity.
• Contact Action: The suspension concentrate formulation allows for excellent coverage. Ensuring thorough wetting of the foliage is key to maximizing its contact effectiveness.
• Sustainable Crop Management: With a recommended dosage of 0.24–0.6 L/ha, it allows for efficient chemical usage, minimizing the overall pesticide load in the agro-ecosystem.

Apollo SC is recognized for its reliability in intensive agricultural systems. Since it is a contact-based product, timing is crucial. Growers should schedule application to ensure the crop is fully covered before the infestation reaches a critical threshold. Always adhere to the recommended pre-harvest interval of 30–50 days to ensure produce safety and compliance with quality standards.
