Spirodiclofen is a new, selective, non-systemic acaricide belonging to the chemical group of spirocyclic tetronic acid derivatives. It controls mites by interfering with mite development, thereby targeting pests such as Panonychus spp., Phyllocoptruta spp., Brevipalpus spp., and Aculus and Tetranychus species. Spirodiclofen acts by contact on mite eggs, all nymphal stages, and adult females (adult males are not affected). Structurally, spirodiclofen is similar to spiromesifen, which is also a tetronic acid insecticide. Spirodiclofen is registered worldwide for use on a variety of crops, including citrus, pome fruits, stone fruits, grapes, and ornamentals.
Spirodiclofen is a tetronic acid acaricide used for controlling red mites. Spirodiclofen is also used in cannabis testing kits as a component of pesticide mix products. As a spirocyclic tetronic acid derivative, spirodiclofen offers excellent acaricidal activity and is used worldwide to control most important mite species.
