Movento is a unique insecticide with a two-way systemic mode of action, offering long-lasting control against a wide range of sucking pests. Its active ingredient, Spirotetramat, works by inhibiting lipid biosynthesis in insects.
Key Features and Benefits:
Two-way systemic action: Movento moves both upwards and downwards within the plant, providing comprehensive protection against pests that feed on leaves, stems, and roots. This ensures that even hidden pests are reached and controlled.
Broad-spectrum control: Effective against a wide range of sucking pests, including aphids, whiteflies, scales, mealybugs, thrips, and psyllids.
Long-lasting residual activity: Offers extended control, reducing the need for frequent applications.
Excellent translaminar movement: Penetrates leaf tissues, reaching pests hiding on the underside of leaves or within plant tissues.
IPM compatible: Generally safe for beneficial insects, making it suitable for Integrated Pest Management programs.
Improved plant health and vigor: By controlling sap-feeding pests, Movento helps improve plant health, leading to increased yields and better quality produce.
Mode of Action:
Spirotetramat belongs to the ketoenol group of insecticides. It disrupts lipid biosynthesis in insects, a vital process for their growth and development. This leads to the disruption of cell membrane formation and function, ultimately causing the death of the pest.
Applications:
Movento is registered for use on a variety of crops, including:
Fruits: Pome fruit (apples, pears), stone fruit (peaches, plums, cherries), citrus, grapes, mangoes, avocados.
Vegetables: Tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, melons, lettuce, brassicas (cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower).
Field crops: Cotton, hops, potatoes.
Ornamentals: A wide range of ornamental plants.
Safety Precautions:
