GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Overview of Apollo:
- Apollo has contact action and long residual activity.

- Caution: One spray per season (or year for ornamentals) to avoid mite resistance development.
- Special recommendation for European red mite in orchards.
Resistance Management:
- Apollo is a Group 10A Insecticide.
- Warning: Resistance may develop due to genetic variability; no control over resistant mites.
- Confirmation of resistant Twospotted Mite strains in certain rose plantations in Australia.
