Protection announced today the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) approved additional soil application methods for
Durivo® insecticide. In addition to application through drip
(trickle) chemigation, Durivo can now also be applied during
planting or transplanting as an in-furrow spray, transplant hole
drench or narrow surface band above the seedline; after planting
as a post-seeding, post-transplanting or hill drench; or root
zone and shank application.
Durivo is registered for use in vegetable crops, including leafy
and fruiting vegetables, brassicas and cucurbits. State
registrations or specific crop and/or pest uses may still be
pending in certain other states. Please check with your state
regulatory agency to determine registration status.
Durivo is a systemic insecticide that employs two modes of
action to protect vegetables from chewing and sucking insects as
well as lepidopteran pests. When Durivo is applied to the soil,
it is readily taken up by the roots of germinating seedlings or
transplants and is rapidly translocated throughout the plant via
the xylem to protect plants from the inside.
“The additional soil application methods allow growers to apply
Durivo using a method that is most convenient for them,” said
John Koenig, Syngenta insecticide brand manager. Koenig further
explained, “The convenience of an all-in-one soil application
and the breadth of its spectrum of control make Durivo a
valuable tool for protecting early-season growth, and provides
the ‘jump-start’ that vegetable crops need to help ensure
optimal yield, as well as the quality that today’s consumers
demand.
