ACTARA® is an insecticide for the control of Scales and Passion Vine Hopper on Kiwifruit, Scales and Froggatt’s Apple Leafhopper on Pipfruit, and Aphids on Potatoes.
Applications of ACTARA applied for Scale will also control Froggatt's Apple Leafhopper. The addition of a non-ionic wetting agent will improve spray coverage and level of Scale control.
