Veggy growers have new tool for pest control

"Aphids can present a significant challenge for vegetable growers," says Peter Bierma, President of Sym-Agro. "Cinnerate quickly controls all life stages on contact."

Cinnerate shows very high knock-down efficacy and can be used in place of soap, neem, or oil-based pesticides. It is soft on beneficial predators, helping balance integrated pest management systems with pest control.

In addition, it provides broad-spectrum disease control and a multisite mode of action with fungicidal activity toward all life stages. The results are rapid, quickly desiccating disease on contact within hours of application.

Cinnerate provides broad-spectrum control of diseases including Alternaria leaf spot, Anthracnose, bacterial leaf blight, early blight, Fusarium, gray mold, powdery mildew, rust, white mold (Sclerotinia spp.), and more. It also features activity toward spores, mycelium, and hyphae. With the growing incidence of fungicide resistance and the potential for gaps in disease control, Cinnerate provides a reliable option for in-season pest control.

Cinnerate is an Organic Materials Review Institute-listed biopesticide with more than seven years of commercial use in high-value fruits, nuts, and vine crops. It has a 0-day PHI and is MRL exempt, so it can be used up to the day of harvest. This also allows treated vegetables to be safely exported to all countries.
