MultiMite Control
MultiMite Control is a natural broad-spectrum solution powered by oxymatrine (Sophora flavescens extract) that targets spider mites alongside aphids, whiteflies and thrips. It disrupts the nervous and respiratory systems of these sucking pests on contact, covering several of the most common and damaging greenhouse and field pests in a single application.
Natural broad-spectrum mite control · Multi-pest control, Minimum toxicity.
Natural broad-spectrum mite control from Vegalab Crop Science, powered by Oxymatrine (Sophora flavescens extract). MultiMite Control targets Spider mite, two-spotted mite, green peach & cotton aphid, greenhouse & sweet-potato whitefly, western flower thrips, palm thrips.
Oxymatrine from Sophora flavescens root inhibits acetylcholinesterase in the pest's nerve center, paralyzing adults and preventing larvae from reaching maturity. Acts on contact or ingestion. Field trials show >90% efficacy.

What pests does MultiMite Control cover?
MultiMite Control is built for mixed infestations. It controls spider mite and two-spotted mite, green peach and cotton aphid, greenhouse and sweet-potato whitefly, and western flower and palm thrips. These pests often appear together on the same crop, weakening plants by feeding on sap and spreading viruses - so a single product that hits all of them simplifies the spray program and reduces the number of separate inputs you have to manage.
How does oxymatrine work on these pests?
The active is oxymatrine, derived from Sophora flavescens. On contact it disrupts the nervous and respiratory systems of target pests, acting across mites and soft-bodied sucking insects rather than through a single narrow mechanism. This broad mode of action is what lets one product cover mites, aphids, whiteflies and thrips, and it makes a useful rotation partner for resistance management in programs that lean heavily on conventional chemistry.
How and when should it be applied?
Apply as a foliar spray with thorough coverage, paying particular attention to leaf undersides where mites, whiteflies and aphids concentrate. Treat at the first sign of pressure and repeat as needed under continued infestation, since reinfestation from surrounding areas is common with these fast-breeding pests. Good coverage matters more than volume - pests that the spray does not contact will survive.
Which crops is it for?
MultiMite Control has been tested on vegetables, cotton, ornamentals, vines and citrus - crops where mite-and-insect complexes routinely build up under warm, dry conditions. It suits both protected and field production where growers want a single nature-derived product to manage several pests at once.
How does it fit an IPM program?
Because it is nature-derived and broad-spectrum, MultiMite Control works well as a knockdown step within an integrated program, rotated with other modes of action to slow resistance. Time applications to protect beneficial insects where possible, and combine with monitoring so sprays are triggered by actual pest thresholds rather than calendar dates.
