Valent Miticide Zeal SC Registered with Liquid Formulation
29 June 2015 Valent U.S.A. Corp.’s Zeal SC miticide has been registered by the EPA with a new liquid formulation that allows for quick mixing and easy loading.
Zeal is registered for field corn, including popcorn, corn for seed and corn grown for silage, cotton and melons. The product targets all stages of the mite life cycles, from egg to adult, helping to control multiple generations and ultimately protecting the crop.
“The new dual application method of Zeal SC provides growers with more options to control all life stages of mites from eggs to maturity,” said Carlos Granadino, product development manager for Valent. “Zeal is Integrated Pest Management- and farm-friendly—it’s softer on beneficial insects than most currently labeled miticides used on corn, and has a short restricted entry interval.”
Zeal removes the yield-loss potential caused by two-spotted spider mites, Banks grass mites, and other species of spider mites. Plus, the unique mode of action in Zeal controls mites that are resistant to older chemistries lacking residual control.
