Canada approval for Dupont's insecticide seed treatment lumiderm

Date:04-15-2013

The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) in Canada has granted approval for registration of DuPont Lumiderm (cyantraniliprole) insecticide seed treatment.

DuPont Lumiderm insecticide is a new seed treatment product for canola growers. Lumiderm contains the active ingredient cyantraniliprole, a novel Group 28, anthranilic diamide insecticide that provides superior control of early season flea beetles (striped and crucifer) and cutworms.

Lumiderm has excellent seed safety and is a strong tool for Integrated Pest Management programs. Due to its unique new mode of action, Lumiderm gets canola seedlings off to a strong start and creates an opportunity for improved yield by providing powerful residual control throughout the early critical stages of seedling growth.
