Australian horticulture - including apple and stone fruit growers - now has the most comprehensive imidacloprid product label, with many major pests and a broad range of crops recently added to the Senator 700WG label.
Senator 700WG’s greatly-expanded label now includes foliar/plant application for green peach aphid and black peach aphid in stone fruit; and soil application for woolly aphid in apples.
The registration allows no more than one soil application per two years for apples. A soil application of Senator 700WG or another Group 4A insecticide must not be followed by a foliar Group 4A spray to the same crop.
The wettable granules provide:
- major storage and purchasing advantages, with one high-strength product replacing multiple different products
- high concentration and low-use rate reduce the volume of product for measuring, transport, storage and package disposal compared with liquid-based imidacloprid products
- easy mixing and measuring, low dust and excellent shelf life.
