Borneo by Sumitomo

Borneo by Sumitomo is a specialized acaricide designed to effectively combat mites in various stages of development, including eggs, larvae, and nymphs. With its unique action that disrupts the growth process of mites, Borneo provides long-lasting protection, helping to safeguard crops against mite infestation. Borneo is particularly efficient in all weather conditions, showing resilience even during rainy periods. While it doesn’t affect adult mites directly, it prevents egg production in adult female mites, offering an integrated solution for sustainable crop protection.

This acaricide is formulated with precision to ensure safety for beneficial insects, making it an optimal choice for farmers seeking reliable pest control with minimal environmental impact.

Key Features of Borneo by Sumitomo:

• Advanced Protection: Newly developed acaricide, effective against eggs, larvae, and nymph stages of mites.
• Reduced Resistance Risk: Unlike older acaricides, mites have not yet developed resistance to Borneo, enhancing long-term reliability.
• Selective and Safe: Safe for beneficial insects, making it a responsible choice for crop and ecosystem health.
• Weather-Resistant Performance: Remains effective even after 3-4 hours of continuous rain, providing reliable mite control across weather conditions.
• Penetrative Action: Reaches hidden mites on the underside of leaves by penetrating leaf surfaces, ensuring thorough control.
• Sustainable Solution: Marked with a green label, Borneo is environmentally friendly and non-toxic to humans and animals.

How Borneo Works:

• Disrupts chitin synthesis, preventing mite larvae and nymphs from shedding their exoskeleton, leading to their eventual death.
• Hinders the development of respiratory organs in eggs and prevents molting in nymphs, ensuring complete lifecycle interruption.

Directions for Use:

• Application Rate: Use 120-140 ml per acre.
• Optimal Timing: Apply at the early stages of mite infestation, when 3-5 mites per leaf are detected.
• Water Requirement: Dilute in 500 liters of water per hectare.
• Application Tips: Ensure thorough coverage of leaves, especially when mite numbers reach 3-5 per leaf.
