Portal® is a contact miticide/insecticide that belongs to the METI (Mitochondrial Electron Transport Inhibitor) class of compounds that blocks cellular respiration. Portal® stops feeding damage and oviposition within hours of application, and mites die in three to seven days. Portal® provides control on many species of mites as well as Asian citrus psyllid, mealybugs, pear psylla, and white apple leafhopper. Portal® is practically nontoxic to bees.

Product Information

PORTAL® Miticide/Insecticide is used for the control of leafhoppers, mealybugs, mites, psylla, psyllids, and whiteflies. PORTAL Miticide/Insecticide stops mite feeding immediately after application. PORTAL Miticide/Insecticide controls all motile stages of mites by inhibiting cellular respiration in the mitochondrion of cells which results in rapid cessation of all biological activities including feeding and reproduction. Mortality of mites can be observed within 3 to 7 days after intoxication.

PORTAL Miticide/Insecticide works primarily through contact action so thorough spray coverage is necessary. Mix with sufficient water and apply as a foliar spray to obtain uniform coverage. Dense foliage or excessive growth will often prevent adequate coverage; adjust spray volumes accordingly. Treat plants when pests are immature or at a susceptible stage and populations are building, before crop damage occurs.

Directions For Use

Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your state or tribe, consult the state or tribal agency responsible for pesticide regulation.


Agricultural Requirements

Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard 40 CFR Part 170. This Standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE) and restricted-entry interval. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard

Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted-entry interval (REI) of 12 hours. For early entry into treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact with anything that has been treated such as plants, soil, or water, wear:

  • Coveralls
  • Shoes and socks
  • Protective eyewear (such as safety glasses, goggles, or face shield)
  • Chemical-resistant gloves (such as barrier laminate, nitrile rubber, neoprene rubber, or Viton)
Application Directions
  • Make applications immediately after the spray solution is prepared.
  • Apply with properly calibrated spray equipment.
  • Apply by ground or air using the water spray volume found in the Directions for Use section of this label.
  • Do not apply PORTAL Miticide/Insecticide through any type of irrigation system except those described in the Chemigation section.
  • For aerial equipment, use larger droplet size (greater than 200 microns).
  • Thorough spray coverage is essential for mite and insect control.
  • For best results, apply when pest populations are beginning to build, before reaching economic thresholds.
Use Restrictions
  • Do not apply within 75 feet of fish-bearing waters.
  • Use by air on citrus is limited to the states of Florida and Texas.
  • For aerial use on citrus in Florida, do not apply within 150 feet of all aquatic areas.
  • Do not use products with the same mode of action in consecutive applications.
  • Do not plant rotational crops other than those listed on this label for 30 days following the last application of this product.
  • Do not use in greenhouse structures.
  • Do not apply by Alternate Row Middle (ARM) spray method.
Mixing Directions
  • PORTAL Miticide/Insecticide Alone - Shake well before using. Begin with clean equipment. Fill spray tank with ¾ of the amount of water needed for the intended application and then turn on agitation. Pour the product on the surface of water in the spray tank. Add the balance of the water to the spray tank with agitation running. Keep agitation running during filling and spraying operations. If spraying must be stopped before emptying the sprayer, resume agitation before spraying the remainder of the load.
  • PORTAL Miticide/Insecticide Tank Mixtures - It is the pesticide user's responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.

Shake well before using. Read and follow all label directions for each tankmix product prior to any tank mixing with PORTAL Miticide/Insecticide. This product can be mixed with other registered pesticides for use on labeled crops or sites in accordance with the most restrictive use directions and precautions. Follow all use directions as listed above under PORTAL Miticide/Insecticide Alone with the following exception: after the PORTAL Miticide/Insecticide is thoroughly mixed and the tank is ¾ full, add wettable powder, soluble powder, flowable, emulsifiable concentrate, or soluble liquid product as specified on their labels while maintaining agitation. Then continue adding water to the tank to achieve the desired level while maintaining agitation.

If you have no experience with the combination you are considering, conduct a test to determine physical compatibility. To determine physical compatibility, add the proportions of each chemical with the proportion of water specified on the label as will be present in the chemical supply tank into a suitable container; mix thoroughly, and allow to stand for five minutes. If the combination remains mixed or can be readily remixed, the mixture is considered physically compatible.
