Insecticide
Avid 0.15 EC by Syngenta controls leafminers and mites, and will suppress whiteflies, thrips and aphids on ornamentals. Users should mix Avid 0.15 EC with sufficient water and apply as a foliar spray. Resistant management strategies should be used to prevent pests from becoming tolerant of the product. Avid 0.15 EC should not be used for suppression of aphids, whiteflies and thrips on roses, chrysanthemums and gerbera, as these are primary hosts of mites and Liriomyza leafminers.
