Endurer is an acaricide (miticide) manufactured by Coromandel International.1 It contains Hexythiazox 5.45% EC as its active ingredient.2 This acaricide is highly effective against a wide range of mites in various crops, especially known for its performance on tea, chilli, and apple crops.3

Key Features and Benefits:

• Broad-spectrum activity: Controls a wide range of mites, including red spider mites, scarlet mites, and yellow mites.4

• Unique mode of action: Disrupts the molting process of mites, preventing them from maturing and reproducing.5 This unique mode of action offers effective control and minimizes cross-resistance with other acaricides.6
