Vetica (Nichino) – This newly registered material is a combination of flubendiamide and buprofezin. It is labeled on a number of crop groups including leafy vegetables (except brassicas), fruiting vegetables, and cucurbits. The label lists control of a number of “worm” species as well as suppression of leafhoppers and whiteflies. Please see the label for use rates and restrictions http://www.cdms.net/LDat/ld8TA000.pdf.

Coragen (DuPont) – Potatoes were recently added to the full section 3 (federal) Coragen label. A number of new soil applied uses (in addition to drip chemigation) were also added for brassicas, cucurbits, fruiting and leafy vegetables. These uses include in-furrow sprays, transplant water or hill drench, surface banding and soil shank injection.
