Syngenta announced the names of three foliar-applied insecticide brands for its in-season insect management portfolio in the U.S. today. Upon approval by the Environmental Protection Agency, these foliar insecticide products are anticipated to manage insect pests in cotton, vegetables, tree fruit crops and more.
“We’re committed to creating solutions that meet the evolving needs of growers,” said Syngenta Technical Product Lead Elijah Meck, Ph.D. “With pests becoming more difficult to control, this active ingredient will provide growers with a new option.”
Isocycloseram, which has been approved for use in other countries, will act by contact and ingestion, providing rapid feeding cessation. Leveraging this novel active ingredient in IRAC Group 30, will also provide growers with a new resistance management option.
