Syngenta’s PLINAZOLIN® technology just received registration from the Environmental Protection Agency last month and is now available for use, subject to state approvals, powering five separate insecticide products including Vertento® for cotton.
Tripp Walker, Syngenta agronomic service rep, gave a presentation at the Beltwide Cotton Consultants Conference Wednesday in San Antonio on the new foliar-applied insecticide for cotton, peanuts and onions to treat insect pests including plant bugs, thrips and mites.
“So what we’re seeing, and it’s been tested across many crops in many different locations, is we see an extended residual activity out of this product,” said Walker. “Of course, we’ve already mentioned this several times, broad-spectrum control, including mites along with other insect pests. It’s very crop safe, we don’t see any kind of crop response. It’s very UV stable, it’s very rain fast.”
Listen to Walker’s presentation to learn more about what Vertento® has to offer cotton growers.
