Sumitomo Pyromite Fenpyroximate 5% EC is a highly effective acaricide belonging to the phenoxypyrazole group, developed for controlling a wide range of phytophagous mites in agricultural crops. It works through contact and stomach action, disrupting the energy generation system of mites and causing paralysis followed by death. Pyromite delivers fast knockdown, prevents further feeding damage, and provides residual protection for up to 3–4 weeks. Its stability under sunlight, rainfall, and high temperatures makes it a reliable solution for long-term mite management.
