India: Corteva Launches New Insecticide for Aphid Control
Corteva Agriscience has launched Spadin 11.7% SC (Isoclast active), a new insecticide with a unique mode of action for aphid control, according to Indian Chemical News.
Spadin’s broad-spectrum activity and excellent residual control makes it an ideal addition to control aphids and protect crops and preserve the yield potential, the company said.
Spadin operates differently from traditional insecticides, providing immediate control of aphids upon contact, ensuring a robust crop which belongs to a novel chemical class known as sulfoximines. Spadin delivers residual control, providing long-lasting protection against aphids even under challenging environmental conditions.
This extended efficacy ensures steady control of aphids. With minimal impact on beneficial insects, it is a sustainable agricultural product that promotes a healthy ecosystem. The insecticide with its favorable environmental profile, degrades rapidly in soil and has very low acute toxicity to fish and mammals which makes Spadin an excellent addition to integrated pest management (IPM) programs and an attractive replacement for other generic insecticides.
