With registration anticipated in time for the 2017 use season, Minecto™ Pro insecticide from Syngenta will allow tree nut, citrus, vegetable, potato, pome fruit, stone fruit, onion and cotton growers to control numerous troublesome insect pests.

Unlike standalone products, this premix formulation of cyantraniliprole and abamectin offers broad-spectrum control of a wide range of lepidopteran pests, as well as mites, thrips and difficult-to-control sucking insects. The insecticide’s dual translaminar modes of action create a reservoir of these two complementary active ingredients, offering extended residual control of pests.

Upon registration, Minecto Pro will offer growers a new tool to control damaging pests and reduce resistance development to other chemistries.
