Nufarm’s bioinsecticide DiPel® PRO DF got label expansion

Nufarm Americas, Inc. announced the new label registration of DiPel® Pro DF biological insecticide (54% Bacillus thuringiensis, subsp. kurstaki, strain ABTS-351, fermentation solids and solubles) for use on light brown apple moth that includes California.

 

The most widely-used biological insecticide in the world, DiPel PRO DF may be used on a variety of ornamentals. DiPel PRO DF delivers fast-acting worm control while being safe on crops and friendly to workers, the environment and beneficial insects.

 

DiPel PRO DF provides effective, broad spectrum control of more than 30 species of lepidopterous insects, including tent caterpillar and various bagworms, looper, tobacco budworms, armyworms, and now, the light brown apple moth. Its dry flowable formulation is dust-free and easy to measure and mix, lessening the time commitment of applicators and offering increased flexibility.

 

“The market-leading DiPel PRO DF plays a crucial role in pesticide management programs for greenhouse and ornamental operators,” said Rick Fletcher, Technical Service Manager at Nufarm Americas. “This new label use provides an opportunity that applicators hadn’t had previously for controlling the invasive, plant-destroying pest that is the light brown apple moth.”

 

DiPel PRO DF is OMRI-listed for organic products.
