Escalip

Synergy of Components: Biochemical Control of Mites

The core of "Escalip" by Ukravit Science Park lies in the combination of two active substances with fundamentally different mechanisms of action. Abamectin (from the avermectin class) acts as a powerful neurotoxin, causing paralysis by affecting GABA receptors in the nervous system. Meanwhile, spirodiclofen blocks lipid synthesis in mites at all stages of development, including eggs and larvae, which is critical for preventing population resurgences.

Technical Breakdown of Composition and Efficacy

• Abamectin provides a rapid "knockdown effect," paralyzing active forms of spider mites within the first hours after contact.
• Spirodiclofen functions as an inhibitor of fat biosynthesis, disrupting the molting process and female fertility. This makes the product an essential tool in anti-resistance protection programs for apple orchards and soybean fields.
• The formulation, presented as a suspension concentrate, ensures composition stability during tank mixture preparation and uniform distribution across the leaf surface, which increases coverage area during vegetation spraying.

Practical Application Aspects

With an application rate ranging from 0.5 to 1.0 L/ha, "Escalip" demonstrates high penetrating capability (translaminar effect), allowing it to eliminate pests hiding on the underside of leaves. Given its contact-type action, the key factor for efficiency is coverage quality: ensure sufficient working solution volume for full wetting of the vegetative mass. The maximum of two applications per season allows for effective control of the pest's life cycle without overloading the crop's ecosystem with chemical burden.
