General Information
Borneo is a contact acaricide with contact action for the control of red spider mite in protected tomatoes and aubergines. It inhibits the development of eggs and larval stages of mites (Tetranychus urticae) and can be used on indoor tomatoes and aubergines (egg plants). The product will give best performance if used at the first appearance of the first mobile stages of spider mites. Borneo has residual action of around 45 to 60 days.

Directions for Use
Mixing and spraying
Invert bottle before use to ensure a uniform mixture. Half fill spray tank with clean water, commence agitation and add the required amount of Borneo. Maintain agitation during completion of filling and during application.
Rinse empty container thoroughly at least three times. Add washings to the spray tank at time of filling. Do not leave spray liquid in the sprayer for long periods of time eg overnight or during meal breaks.
In case of a high adult mite population, an adult acaricide should be applied.
