Floramite SC Miticide

Floramite SC Ornamental Miticide

Floramite SC Ornamental Miticide is a selective miticide powered by bifenazate for rapid control of listed mite pests on ornamental plants, non-bearing fruit trees, greenhouse tomatoes, and labeled production and landscape sites. Floramite works through contact activity and provides long residual control, making it a strong fit for mite-control programs where fast knockdown and beneficial insect compatibility matter.

Floramite is especially effective on spider mites in the Tetranychidae family and controls all life stages of Tetranychid spider mites when applied according to label directions. Its Group 20D mode of action, strong residual activity, and reduced disruption to many beneficial insects and predatory mites make Floramite a valuable tool for IPM and resistance-management programs.

Target Pests

Floramite controls a variety of mite pests, especially spider mites in the Tetranychidae family. Mites listed on the sell sheet include bamboo spider mite, citrus red mite, clover mite, European red mite, Lewis mite, Pacific mite, southern red mite, spruce spider mite, strawberry mite, and two-spotted spider mite.

Application Notes

Apply Floramite as soon as mites appear. Complete coverage of both upper and lower leaf surfaces is necessary because Floramite is not systemic. Mix 4 to 8 fl oz of Floramite in 100 gallons of water and apply as a full-coverage foliar spray. Use 4 fl oz per 100 gallons for preventive applications or light mite infestations, and up to 8 fl oz per 100 gallons for heavy infestations or extended residual control.

For best results, maintain spray mixtures containing Floramite within a pH range of 5.5 to 6.5 because stability can be affected by high pH and high temperature. For ornamentals with hard-to-wet foliage, a compatible adjuvant or spreader-sticker may be added after testing for plant safety and compatibility. Do not use adjuvants in solutions applied to greenhouse tomatoes.
