Product Introduction
Fenpyroximate 5% SC is a high-performance suspension concentrate acaricide containing Fenpyroximate, a broad-spectrum active ingredient belonging to the phenoxypyrazole chemical class. It provides ovicidal, larvicidal, and adulticidal activity against a wide range of phytophagous mites, including spider mites, red mites, rust mites, and false spider mites in fruit, tea, vegetable, and ornamental crops.
With contact and stomach action, Fenpyroximate delivers rapid knockdown effect and long-lasting residual control, making it an ideal solution for integrated mite management programs.
The SC formulation ensures:
- Excellent suspension stability and particle fineness
- Easy handling and tank-mix compatibility
- Consistent field performance with reduced phytotoxicity risk

Mode of Action
Fenpyroximate acts by inhibiting mitochondrial electron transport chain (METI) at Complex I, blocking NADH-coenzyme Q reductase, a critical component of energy metabolism in mites. This disruption of energy generation leads to rapid mortality and feeding cessation.
Key characteristics:
- Contact and stomach action
- Ovicidal activity – kills mite eggs and suppresses hatching
- Effective against all mobile stages (larvae, nymphs, adults)
- No cross-resistance to other acaricide classes
Product Features & Benefits
Key Advantages
- Rapid knockdown – visible results within days
