Fenpyroximate is widely used as an acaricide in agricultural practices to control mite infestations on various crops. It is particularly effective against spider mites, which are common pests in fruit orchards, vegetable farms, and ornamental plants. The chemical works by inhibiting mitochondrial electron transport, leading to the disruption of energy production in mites and ultimately their death. Its application helps protect crop yields and maintain plant health, ensuring higher quality produce. Fenpyroximate is often applied as a foliar spray, providing quick and long-lasting protection. It is favored for its efficiency and relatively low toxicity to non-target organisms when used as directed.
