Newer Chemical Class Bolsters Insecticide Rotations

By Rick Yates, Technical Services Manager, GGSPro
Diamide Insecticides (MOA 28) have been
around for several years with the first
greenhouse registered product being Syngenta’s
breakthrough product Mainspring, now
called Mainspring GNL, registered in 2016.
In the past year Syngenta expanded the
label for Acelepryn to include nursery and
greenhouse uses while OHP introduced two new
insecticides, Pradia and Sarisa. Many growers
searching for replacements for or rotations
with neonicotinoids have incorporated diamide
insecticides into their programs. While each
product has unique attributes, there are some
important things they have in common.
