WHITEFLIES: Efficacy trials conducted by CAL
AGRI PRODUCTS have demonstrated Agri-50E is effective against the nymphs and
adults of many species of whiteflies. Evaluations have shown Agri-50E can
provide cost effective control against three important whitefly pests, the
Tobacco whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, the Greenhouse whitefly,
Trialeurodes vaporariorum, and the Iris whitefly, Aleyrodes
spiraeoides.
Independent laboratory and
greenhouse tests have compared the relative performance of Agri-50E to standard
commercial pesticides. Laboratory tests revealed Agri-50E kills Trialeurodes
vaporariorum adults approaching 100 percent that is comparable to more
toxic pesticides such as Bifenthrin.
Performance tests against
Trialeurodes vaporariorum nymphs have also shown Agri-50E to be
effective against all immature stages, except the egg and pupal stage, equal to
or greater than pyriproxifen (Esteem) a popular standard commercial pesticide.
Independent commercial field
tests have shown Agri-50E can achieve control of whitefly populations equal to
or greater than the leading commercial pesticides. Greenhouse tests has shown
excellent control of whitefly adults that often achieve significantly greater
reductions in adult numbers than standard pesticides such as imidacloprid
(Confidor).
Large-scale greenhouse field
trials conducted by independent researchers have also demonstrated that at the
recommended rates, AGRI-50E provided rapid control of whitefly nymph
populations under commercial conditions relative to standard insecticides such
as buprofezin (Applaud) and thiomethoxan (Actara). Results also demonstrated
that long-term and economical control of whiteflies could be achieved with a
single application, even under severe pest pressures (see Agri-50E Guide [pdf]
below).
Results of independent
commercial field trials and commercial grower experience has already
established Agri-50E as a leading pest control product for whitefly management
programs. Experience has also shown Agri-50E to be easy to use, safe for most
major edible and non-edible crops, can be used up to and including the day of
harvest and is effective against insecticide resistant whitefly
populations.
