Omite Insecticide – Propargite 57 EC Miticide for Mites Control

Omite insecticide (propargite 57 EC) is a trusted miticide insecticide formulated to control harmful mites in crops like cotton, tea, and vegetables. Its active ingredient, propargite, works by disrupting mite respiration, causing them to stop feeding and die within hours. This contact-action formula ensures effective control even on the underside of leaves, where mites often hide.

Farmers value Omite insecticide for its ability to control red spider mites and yellow mites without harming beneficial predatory mites when used as directed. The formulation offers excellent residual activity, protecting crops for days after application. Omite technical name is propargite, belonging to the sulfite ester chemical group.

Omite dhanuka is easy to use and can be applied through knapsack or power sprayers. Following the correct omite insecticide dosage per litre ensures maximum efficiency and crop safety. For best results, apply during early infestation stages.
