Protection announced today registration by the California
Department of Pesticide Regulation (CDPR) of Durivo®
insecticide. 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 through drip
(trickle) chemigation, 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.
Durivo is an enhanced solution because it contains two modes of
action, chlorantraniliprole (CTPR), a new mode of action from
the diamide family of insecticides, and thiamethoxam, a member
of the neonicotinoid class of chemistry.
“These two modes of action complement each other to control the
toughest insects in vegetables, including a broad range of
lepidopteran pests, as well as aphids, whiteflies and flea
beetles,” 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.”
Koenig added that Durivo has been shown to enhance plant vigor.
“Studies around the world have demonstrated that Durivo
stimulates proteins that help plants grow bigger and stronger
and help them better withstand stress from drought, disease and
soil problems,” he explained. “That gets crops off to a healthy
start and helps deliver a healthy return on investment.”
