Chemtura Crop Protection has announced that Dimilin 2L is now approved in the US for control of the lesser cornstalk borer (LCB) in peanuts, reports the Southeast Farm Press. Dimilin 2L is an economical insect growth regulator that provides excellent early control and application convenience, says the company. Peanut growers have the option of tank-mixing their insecticide with fungicide sprays for maximum convenience and flexibility.

In addition to the new use for lesser cornstalk borer, Dimilin 2L also controls caterpillars, armyworms and immature grasshoppers. Dimilin 2L has a low impact on beneficials and is an excellent fit with integrated pest management (IPM) programs.
