Maiden Acaricide (Hexythiazox 5.45% EC) - Expert Mite Control

Stop mite attacks before they destroy your harvest with Japanese "Blue Triangle" technology.

Biostadt Maiden is a specialized solution for controlling Red Spider Mites, Yellow Mites, and other destructive mite species. Developed by Nippon Soda (Japan), it doesn't just kill pests—it breaks their entire life cycle. Unlike harsh chemicals that damage your crop or kill friendly insects, Maiden targets mite eggs and nymphs, ensuring your fields stay clean for weeks.

Best For: Tea, Chilli, Vegetables, and Apple crops facing recurring mite issues.

Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action

Maiden works as an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR). Instead of poisoning the mite's nerves, it stops their ability to grow and reproduce.

[Image of life cycle of spider mite]

  1. Kills Eggs (Ovicidal): If you spray it on mite eggs, the embryo inside dies and never hatches.
  2. Stops Molting: It prevents Nymphs (young mites) from shedding their skin. Without molting, they cannot grow and die quickly.
  3. Sterilizes Adults: When adult female mites touch the medicine, they don't die immediately, but every egg they lay afterwards becomes sterile (useless).

Note: This product does not instantly kill adult mites. It destroys the population over 3-5 days.

How to applyDosage & Application Guide

The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Ensure you use enough water to drench the foliage.

CropDose (ml / Acre)Water (L / Acre)Dose (ml / Litre)PHI (Days)

Chilli & Vegetables120 - 200 ml200 L1.0 - 1.5 ml3 Days

*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.

Useful detailsHow to Apply: Best Practices
  • Timing: Apply at the very first sign of mites (prophylactic). Do not wait for the leaves to turn bronze or curl completely.
  • Mixing: Do NOT mix with alkaline products like Bordeaux mixture. If your water pH is high (>8), use a pH balancer.
  • Coverage: Use a "Hollow Cone" nozzle. Direct the spray nozzle upwards to cover the undersides of the leaves where mites hide.
  • Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
