Dow AgroSciences recently announced U.S. Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) registration for its new Seeker brand insecticide with Isoclast active.

Dow says Seeker provides control of troublesome insects such as aphids, beetles and weevils. Seeker has modes of action that enhance pest control by moving up into new plant growth and throughout the canopy, providing quick knockdown of targeted pests and residual control, the company says.

"In University trials, Seeker has demonstrated superb control of key pests in Midwest crops," says Phil Jost, portfolio market leader for Dow AgroSciences. "Seeker is a reliable insecticide that can work effectively across multiple crops. It will address a wide variety of insect problems across crops with the convenience of one product."

Seeker will be available for use in soybeans, wheat, and canola for the 2014 growing season. Additional crops are anticipated for the future.

Seeker maintains its effectiveness after rainfall or irrigation due to excellent rainfastness. Seeker also does not flare other secondary pests, Dow says.

In addition, Seeker will offer tank-mix compatibility with nutrients, adjuvants and other pesticides, including fungicides.  A planned approach of mixing the insecticide with an effective fungicide can help control both insects and diseases with a single application.

Isoclast active designates that Seeker contains sulfoxaflor as one of its active ingredients.  Isoclast belongs to a novel chemical class called sulfoximines.
