Eradicates silverleaf whitefly and mites in cotton, watermelon, melon, vegetables and flowers. Oberon is a preparation of a new chemical group with a novel mechanism of action which delays synthesis of fats in the pest's body. The preparation eradicates the egg and larval stages of the silverleaf whitefly. In addition, Oberon eradicates the eggs and all nymph stages of twospotted spider mites (red spider mite). The preparation also affects adult females by impeding their ability to lay eggs, which eventually leads to the death of the adult female. Oberon does not damage adult male twospotted spider mites. Thus, when spraying on high populations, it is recommended to combine it with a preparation that exterminates adults.
