SHIRUDO

Advanced Mite Control for Orchards and Soybeans

"Shirudo," manufactured by Certis Belchim B.V., represents a high-performance systemic and contact miticide designed for robust pest management. For growers facing significant infestations of spider mites, brown fruit mites, red fruit mites, or gall mites, this product offers an essential solution that targets every stage of the mite lifecycle—from egg to adult.

Practical Field Application

Supplied as water-dispersible granules, Shirudo ensures ease of handling and precise dosing. With an application rate of 0.4–0.8 kg/ha, it is engineered for efficiency during critical growth stages in orchards (apples), vineyards, and soybean fields.

• Orchard Management: Essential for early-season control to prevent mite populations from peaking and causing irreversible fruit damage.
• Soybean Protection: Highly effective during the vegetative stages when mite pressure can threaten photosynthetic capacity and final yield.

Why Growers Choose Shirudo

The strength of Shirudo lies in its dual action. The contact effect provides an immediate knockdown of present pests, while the systemic movement allows the active ingredient to penetrate the plant tissue. This ensures that even foliage not directly hit during spraying receives protection. As a 3rd-class hazard product, it fits reliably into standard integrated pest management (IPM) programs. With a maximum limit of two applications per season, it serves as a powerful "heavy hitter" to reset mite populations and safeguard crop health. Growers should focus on uniform spray coverage during the vegetative period to maximize the systemic translocation within the plant leaves.
