Syngenta Miticide/Insecticide Registered for Use on Soybeans

Posted by Dan Jacobs|5 July 2016

Syngenta’s Agri-Mek SC, a miticide/insecticide for use by fruit, nut and vegetable growers, has been approved for use in soybeans.

“With Agri-Mek SC, soybean growers are armed to prevent widespread crop damage due to spider mites,” said Meade McDonald, insecticide product lead at Syngenta. “Some problems can be unpredictable, but growers can feel at ease knowing they have control over other factors like yield-threatening pests.”

Agri-Mek SC’s active ingredient, abamectin, penetrates the leaf and is rapidly absorbed into the leaf tissue, controlling mites on both the upper and lower leaf surfaces. The pesticide is rainfast once dry and provides residual control that lasts up to 21 days.
