Date:08-09-2012

Gowan Company and Nisso America announce the federal registration of Justice Insecticide to control insect pests in soybeans. Gowan has exclusive rights to market Justice within the U.S. soybean market.

Justice Insecticide is a dual-mode-of-action premix that contains the best in acetamiprid and bifenthrin for fast knockdown of labeled insect pests and better resistance management.

"We’re pleased to add another high-quality product to our portfolio that enhances Gowan’s continuing efforts to provide our customers with solutions to their pest-control problems,” says Chad Dyer, Justice product manager for Gowan. “Acetamiprid, the best active ingredient for aphid control, is finally approved for use in the soybean aphid market,” Dyer says. While the primary insect target for Justice is soybean aphid, Justice will also be labeled for other insect pests including armyworm, bean leaf beetle and soybean looper.

Justice will be marketed as a unique liquid-oil-flowable formulation that allows both active ingredients to remain in their most biologically active form.

"We are excited to have the oil-flowable formulation of Justice,” Dyer says. “We tested a few different formulations, including an EC formulation, but the OF always outperformed the others in our field tests.”
