Minimbria
Oil that smothers, plus a trace of systemic that finishes the job.
Minimbria combines a high load of mineral oil with a small amount of imidacloprid. The oil does the physical work — coating and suffocating scale insects, mites and eggs under their protective covers, where no spray chemistry penetrates well — while the low-rate systemic handles the survivors and the mobile stages. It is a dormant and early-season product for orchards and citrus.
Characteristics
- Oil physically smothers scale, mites and overwintering eggs
- Low-rate systemic handles mobile stages and survivors
- Reaches pests under scale covers that sprays cannot penetrate
- Ideal for dormant and early-season orchard programmes
- Physical mode of action carries no resistance risk
- IRAC Group 4A for the systemic component
How it works
The mineral oil blocks the spiracles through which insects breathe and disrupts the waxy cuticle, killing by suffocation — a purely physical effect no pest can develop resistance to. Imidacloprid binds the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and adds systemic activity against mobile stages.
