Posted by Dan Jacobs|17 July 2015

DiPel Pro DF Biological Insecticide from Nufarm Americas can now be used on the light brown apple moth, including in California.

A widely-used biological insecticide, DiPel PRO DF delivers fast-acting worm control while being safe on crops and friendly to workers, the environment and beneficial insects. DiPel PRO DF provides effective, broad spectrum control of more than 30 species of lepidopterous insects, including tent caterpillar and various bagworms, looper, tobacco budworms, armyworms, and now, the light brown apple moth.

“The market-leading DiPel PRO DF plays a crucial role in pesticide management programs for greenhouse and ornamental operators,” said Rick Fletcher, Technical Service Manager at Nufarm Americas. “This new label use provides an opportunity that applicators hadn’t had previously for controlling the invasive, plant-destroying pest that is the light brown apple moth.”
