Miticides

CUSTOMERS NOTE!!!  The chemical pesticides we sell at Rosemania are intended for use in growing roses and ornamentals.  While many of the products are labeled, approved, and commonly used for other plants,  we highly recommend the customer read the label carefully to ensure proper use in all cases.  When in doubt, we recommend you contact the manufacturer with questions regarding other plants or uses.

Rosemania accepts no responsibility for improper application of products.   In all cases, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND spraying fungicides, pesticides, or miticides ONLY with proper protective gear. This includes a respirator, goggles and chemical resistant gloves at a minimum. You should also take proper precaution to cover your arms and legs with either long pants and long sleeve shirt, or with a chemical resistant suit such as Tyvek.

Rosemania is proud to announce the introduction of Kontos Insecticide/Miticide to the greenhouse and nursery markets. Kontos is a new systemic insecticide that is both xylem and phloem active, meaning the active ingredient moves upward and downward in treated plants, according to Dr. Richard Lindquist, OHP senior technical manager. “Kontos can be applied as a foliar spray or drench and controls a number of major sucking insect and mite pests, including aphids, leafhoppers, mealybugs, psyllids, spider mites, and whiteflies,” notes Dr. Lindquist.

Kontos, with active ingredient spirotetramat, is the first systemic insecticide with activity on spider mites, adds Dr. Lindquist. A member of the tetramic acid class (Mode of Action Group #23), Kontos is a lipid biosynthesis inhibitor and is active primarily through ingestion. “Kontos is a unique product on a couple of levels,” notes Dan Stahl, OHP vice president of marketing and business development. “First, it is a systemic product that has activity on spider mites.

That’s a real plus for the grower,” says Stahl. “Second, it is a different class and mode of action than the neonicotinoid class, which has been widely and effectively used the last several years,” says Stahl. “Kontos provides a rotational tool for those growers who have been using neonicotinoid drenches and want to change things up. It’s a great alternative.”

The neonicotinoid class of products (MOA Group #4A) includes Marathon®, Safari®, Flagship®, and TriStar®. Kontos is labeled for use on vegetable transplants and for use through irrigation systems, and is soft on many beneficial insects and mites, notes Stahl. Kontos is a suspension concentrate (SC) formulation and is packaged in 250 mL bottles.(8.45 oz)  Usage is 1.7 to 3.4 oz per 100 gallons.  (1/8 to 1/4 tsp per gallon)
