Amitraz 12.5% EC is an emulsifiable concentrate containing 12.5% Amitraz as active ingredient. It is widely used to control mites and certain insects on crops such as citrus, apples, pears, cotton and vegetables, and it can also be used in veterinary environments on cattle, sheep, pigs and bees where regulations allow.
For distributors and importers, this product combines:
A well-known active ingredient with long-term market acceptance.
A stable EC formulation suitable for warm climates and different spraying equipment.
Full OEM and private-label services, including small packs and multi-language labels.
Multiple action pathways: contact activity combined with stomach poisoning, fumigation effect, antifeedant and repellent properties.
Strong efficacy on mites: effective on juvenile stages, adults and, to a certain extent, eggs of many mite species.
Useful where resistance exists: suitable for populations that have developed resistance to other acaricides.
Broad spectrum: can control pests such as scale insects, spider mites, rust ticks, psyllids and other sucking pests on trees and cotton; also used for ticks and mange mites on livestock and for bee mites in some markets.
Temperature-sensitive performance: works best under warm, sunny conditions; performance is reduced in cooler environments.
Although this page is focused on Amitraz 12.5% EC, production can support other strengths and types according to market demand and registration:
Primary spec: Amitraz 12.5% EC
Other possible EC strengths: e.g. higher-strength EC grades, subject to local regulations and your registration file.
Alternative formulation types (subject to feasibility and demand):
Water-based systems (SC/EW/ME) for markets that prefer lower solvent content.
Solid formulations (WP/WDG) where transport and storage conditions make them attractive.
Custom options:
Low-odor solvent systems.
UV-stabilized package for strong sunlight regions.
Antifoam adjustment for different spraying systems.
In your RFQ, you can indicate whether you only need 12.5% EC, or also want to discuss higher strengths or different formulations.

Use on animals must strictly follow the local veterinary registration, product label and professional guidance.
Because regulations and dose schemes differ by country, this product page does not provide step-by-step application instructions or dilution rates.
General principles for professional users:
Apply only on crops and animals where Amitraz 12.5% EC is registered and labeled.
Use appropriate spraying or dipping equipment designed for pesticide/veterinary use.
Prefer warm, sunny weather for crop treatments, as activity is reduced below about 25°C.
Avoid mixing with alkaline products such as Bordeaux mixture, lime sulfur and other strongly alkaline pesticides to prevent decomposition and loss of efficacy.
On sensitive crops (for example some apple varieties), first test a small area or follow local technical recommendations to avoid phytotoxicity.
Do not mix with certain organophosphate insecticides such as parathion on apples and pears, or other combinations specifically contraindicated on the label.
Respect local limits on the maximum number of applications per season and pre-harvest intervals, as defined in the registered label for each crop and use.
Always follow the official product label and local regulations. If there is any doubt, consult your local advisor or regulatory authority.

Q1. What is the main difference between Amitraz 12.5% EC and higher-strength EC products?
Amitraz 12.5% EC offers a widely accepted concentration with good balance between flexibility and registration coverage. Higher-strength EC products may reduce shipping volume per unit of active, but they must match local registration and handling requirements.
Q2. Can Amitraz 12.5% EC be used on both crops and animals?
Yes, Amitraz is used as an acaricide/insecticide on crops and as a veterinary acaricide on animals, but each use must be specifically registered and labeled in the destination country. Only follow uses that are authorized on the local label.
Q3. Can this formulation be mixed with other pesticides?
In general, it should not be mixed with strongly alkaline products and should not be combined with certain organophosphates on sensitive crops. Always refer to the product label, and perform a small-scale compatibility test before tank mixing.
Q4. Do you offer customized labelling and small packages?
Yes. You can choose bottle size, label language, branding layout and anti-counterfeit features. Small-pack solutions are available to match retail or professional channels in different markets.
Q5. What documents will I receive with the shipment?
You will receive a COA and MSDS for each batch. Additional documents to support registration can be provided depending on the market and project.

(1) Amitraz should be used in high temperature and sunny weather, if the the temperature is lower than 25°C,the effect is poor.
(2) It should not be mixed with alkaline pesticides (such as Bordeaux mixture, lime sulfur mixture, etc.).It was used up to 2 times per season crop.In order to avoid phytotoxicity.don’t mix the amitraz with parathion when you want to protect the apple or pear trees.
(3) Stop using it 21 days before the orange harvest, and the maximum dosage is 1000 times liquid. Stop using it 7 days before cotton harvest, the maximum usage is 3L/hm2 (20% Amitraz EC).
(4) In case of skin contact, rinse with soap and water immediately.
(5) Amitraz has damage of leaf burning to short-fruited Golden Delicious apples,but it is safe for bees.
