This new section of the IR-4 Newsletter called ‘New Product Corner’ was suggested by grower stakeholders as a way for IR-4 to help inform specialty crop growers about new pest management tools recently registered by EPA. This is for informational purposes only as IR-4 does not endorse a particular product or registrant.
TOLFENPYRAD (Insecticide – Nichino America, Inc.)
Introduction: Unconditional registration of the new active ingredient (AI) tolfenpyrad was granted by the EPA in November 2013 for its first uses on food crops. First non-food uses on ornamental horticulture plants grown in greenhouses (marketed under trade name Hachi-Hachi by SePRO Corp.) were registered in 2010. This new food use chemical registration provides growers with a new pest management tool for use against various insect and mite pests, as well as for fungicidal suppression activity against certain diseases. Tolfenpyrad is a broad-spectrum pyrazole classified in Group 21A by the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC), and it acts by impairing energy metabolism in target pests.
Other global registrations: Japan, Dominican Republic, Taiwan, Thailand, UAE, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, China, Malaysia, Jordan
