New Valent Insecticide, Senstar

David Owens, Extension Entomologist, owensd@udel.edu

Valent is introducing a new insecticide, Senstar, that has received a Delaware label. This is a combination of pyriproxyfen (Esteem and Knack) and spirotetramat (Movento). As such, it is strongest on Homopterans – aphids, whiteflies, scales. It is labeled for most fruit and vegetable crops that we grow here, and it does have a pretty extensive fruit pest label. The full label can be found here: http://www.cdms.net/ldat/ldEU5000.pdf.
