Syngenta
announced today that Endigo™ insecticide recently received
registration from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for
use in cotton, offering growers two modes of action to protect
against key mid- to late-season pests and an effective tool for
managing insect resistance.
“Endigo is the ideal product to
apply in a window from full bloom to cutout in a complete insect
management program, providing growers with a convenient tool to
clean up fields,” said Scott Hendrix, Syngenta cotton crop
manager. “It offers quick, effective knockdown and residual
control of damaging pests such as fleahoppers, tarnished plant
bugs, stink bugs and worms to help growers achieve maximum yield
and quality.”
By combining the proven performance of two modes of action,
Endigo is a superior tool for resistance management. “Syngenta
is committed to fighting insect resistance and maintaining the
efficacy of existing chemistries through proper product
stewardship,” said Coby Long, Syngenta brand manager.
“It’s critical that we alternate modes of action throughout the
season,” added Long. “By targeting insects with two modes of
action in a single application, and providing an excellent
rotational product to organophosphates and carbamates, Endigo
has an exceptional fit in cotton insect management programs.”
Syngenta recommends field scouting and applying Endigo at 3.5 to
5.5 fl. oz. per acre when insect populations reach locally
determined economic thresholds, usually at intervals of five to
10 days.
