Corteva Agriscience launched Spadin™ 11.7 per cent SC (Isoclast™ active), a new insecticide with a unique mode of action for aphid control.
According to the company, Its broad-spectrum activity and excellent residual control make it an ideal addition to control aphids to protect crops and preserve yield potential.
Spadin™ operates differently from traditional insecticides, providing immediate control of aphids upon contact, ensuring a robust crop which belongs to a novel chemical class known as sulfoximines. Spadin™ delivers residual control, providing long-lasting protection against aphids even under challenging environmental conditions.
This extended efficacy ensures steady control of aphids. With minimal impact on beneficial insects, It is a sustainable agricultural product that promotes a healthy ecosystem. The insecticide with its favorable environmental profile, degrades rapidly in soil and has very low acute toxicity to fish and mammals which makes Spadin an excellent addition to integrated pest management (IPM) programs and an attractive replacement for other generic insecticides.
Spadin™ is currently registered for use in wheat, but in future, we shall be getting labels on cotton, green gram and vegetables. It is applied as a foliar spray and is available in both liquid and water-dispersible granule formulations.
This environment-friendly product is a testament to Corteva Agriscience's commitment to providing farmers with innovative and sustainable solutions that help them protect their crops and improve their productivity and profitability.
