Abstract:
    A miticidal composition for controlling spider mite populations is formed by impregnating a controlled release substrate with farnesol and nerolidol to form a flowable liquid concentrate or wettable powder. The flowable liquid concentrate or wettable powder is added to a liquid spray base to which a miticide has been added, and mixed therewith to form the miticidal composition. The resulting composition is applied by conventional tank spray equipment to the foliage of plants or trees to control spider mite populations therein.
