The lack of cross-resistance to commercial products makes Spiromesifen a valuable tool for mite and whitefly resistance management.

Specialized miticide, with an additional feature of whitefly control.                                 

Excellent persistence in activity against developmental stages of whiteflies and mites, especially eggs and nymphs.

New mode of action.

It also reduces female fecundity and enhances egg sterilization – The trans-ovarian effect results in un-hatched eggs.

Pests such as destructive mites, yellow mites, white flies, and European red mites can cause significant damage to crops and hinder their growth. Bayer’s Oberon insecticide is a smart and high-performing solution for controlling these insects/pests in vegetables, fruits, cotton, and tea crops.

Oberon contains spiromesifen, a novel foliar contact insecticide/acaricide. The product effectively targets all developmental stages of mites and whitefly pests, resulting in long lasting control. It protects crops like brinjal, apple, cotton, chilli, tea, okra, tomato, and cucumber.

The active ingredient of Oberon, spiromesifen, acts by inhibiting lipid biosynthesis in insects, specifically targeting triglycerides and free fatty acids.

This biological activity correlates with tetronic acids, which play a crucial role in hindering the formation of lipids and contributing to the effective control of mites and whiteflies.
