Nealta is a METI (mitochondrial electron transport inhibitor) acaricide for the control of mites in apple, pear, quince, medlar, protected strawberries and roses under permanent protection with full enclosure.

Restrictions/Warnings
Small scale testing of any rose variety is recommended at all crop stages before use to establish its tolerance under the conditions of use. Allow sufficient time for any symptoms to develop.
Safety to beneficial organisms: Nealta has been shown to be non-toxic to the following beneficial species: Anthocoris nemoralis, Amblyseius swirskii, Eretmocerus eremicus, Typhlodromus pyri, Kampimodromus aberrans, Aphidius rhopalosiphi and Nesidiocoris tenuis. Populations of Adalia bipunctata, Ambylseius andersoni, Macrolophus pygmaeus (formerly M. caliginosus),
Nesidiocoris tenuis and Orius laevigatus may be slightly affected.
Effects on brewing, cider and perry making have not been tested. Negative effects on these processes cannot be excluded. Consult processor before use.
Dangerous to bees. To protect bees and pollinating insects do not apply to crop plants when in flower. Do not use where bees are actively foraging. Do not apply when flowering weeds are present.
Extreme care must be taken to avoid spray drift onto non-crop plants outside of the target area

Mixing and Application
Mixing
Never prepare more spray solution than is required.
Three quarters fill the tank with clean water and start the agitation. To ensure thorough mixing of the product, invert the container several times before opening. Add the required quantity of Nealta to the spray tank while re-circulating. Add the remainder of the water and continue agitation until spraying is complete.

When tank mixes are to be used, take due note of any instructions given as to the order of mixing.
Each product should be added separately to the spray tank and fully dispersed before the addition of any further product(s).
All tank mixes should be used immediately after mixing.
On emptying the container, rinse container thoroughly by using an integrated pressure rinsing device or by manually rinsing three times. Add washings to tank at time of filling and dispose of container safely.

Application
Apply as a MEDIUM/FINE spray, as defined by BCPC.
