Sam Rivers of ICL and Sean Loakes of Syngenta talk to HortWeek editor Matthew Appleby about the new launch Mainspring, a broad spectrum insecticide for the ornamentals industry.
They describe what this major new product is, the pests it controls, considerations for use and how to build Mainspring into an IPM programme.
The insecticide has proven effective against both caterpillars and thrips which are both capable of inflicting a huge amount of damage to crops.
Mainspring has been formulated for spray application specifically for use on container-grown protected ornamentals.
Once ingested, cyantraniliprole targets a specific receptor in an insect’s muscles, resulting in paralysis. Feeding stops within two hours of the crop being sprayed, preventing the pest from inflicting any further plant damage.
After application, cyantraniliprole is readily absorbed into the leaf’s waxy cuticle and passes into the leaf tissue. This translaminar activity means it encounters insects feeding on the underside of the leaf where it’s typically harder for sprays to target.
