德国蒙海姆 拜耳作物科学公司 insecticidal active ingredient spirotetramat, from the chemical class of ketoenols, which has been internationally marketed under the brand name Movento, has been granted regulatory approval in Australia, the company announced via press release. The active ingredient’s mode of action is to move up and down inside the plant via the plant sap, allowing distribution of the agent evenly in new shoots, leaves and roots, says the company, adding that spirotetramat protects crops against insect attacks for up to several weeks. It can be used in many major crops such as cotton, soy and potatoes.
