Bayer CropScience introduces a new class of Chemistry as an alternative to
Imidacloprid. The new active ingredient is a systemic from the butenolide
chemical class and is active on sucking insect pests. The AI is
flupyradifurone. It will be marketed under the trade name *Sivanto*. It is
marketed as a “bee friendly” product with no bloom (application)
restrictions. It will be registered in 2015.
A host of annual and perennial crops have been tested for aphids,
leafhoppers, psyllids, scales, thrips and whiteflies. It causes a rapid
feeding cessation effect from both soil and foliar applications. It is
active via ingestion and contact. It is an adult knockdown product that
controls nymph and egg stages.
It is systemic for root uptake and translaminer from foliar applications.
It has, says Bayer, minimal impact on beneficials. The label includes a 4
hour reentry interval.
