SPINETORAM 12% + SPINOSAD 3% SC
An advanced combination of two naturally-derived spinosyn insecticides. This formulation combines the rapid action of Spinosad with the improved residual activity and potency of Spinetoram, providing superior broad-spectrum control of caterpillars and thrips in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs.
Product Information
Both active ingredients act through a unique mechanism involving the disruption of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors at novel binding sites, distinct from other insecticides (Group 5). They cause hyperexcitation of the insect nervous system, leading to involuntary muscle contractions, paralysis, and death.
Spinetoram enhances the speed of kill and residual length, while Spinosad provides proven biological performance. The combination works via both contact and ingestion with translaminar movement into the leaf tissue.
