DuPont Gets US EUPs On Two Insecticides

The EUPs enable registered cooperators to apply the product to apples and pears for protection against codling moth, oriental fruit moth, and obliquebanded leafroller. The EUP for Coragen will include trials on celery, cucumbers, lettuce, peppers, spinach, squash, tomato, and watermelon crops to control a wide spectrum of worm pests and leafminer.

Both products are highly potent on target species at low use rates, according to DuPont. The new active ingredient (ai) rynaxypyr offers a novel mode of action with minimal impact on beneficial insects and extremely low toxicity to mammals, birds, and fish, making the products a good fit for integrated pest management (IPM) programs.
