ADAMA Canada to continue selling lambda-cy

The company had said last fall that it would stop selling Silencer in response to a Pest Management Regulatory Agency decision to ban the insecticide on crops intended as livestock feed.

Syngenta had announced at the same time that it would stop selling its pesticide Matador.

ADAMA says the decision to continue selling the insecticide comes after consulting with retailers, farmers and industry organizations on the implications of the PMRA ruling to re-evaluate the permitted uses of the insecticide.

“The bottom line for growers is to read the labeling guidelines carefully. Talk to your full-service input retailer and to your crop buyers so you can make an informed decision about if and when to apply the product,” said Cornie Thiessen, General Manager for ADAMA Canada.

Video: Spider Mite Control with Predatory Mites (Phytoseiulus persimilis)

The predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis is a highly effective biological control agent for spider mite infestations. As the first company to introduce this natural enemy, Koppert has been a pioneer in sustainable crop protection.

How does Phytoseiulus work?

•Adult mites feed on all life stages of spider mites.

•Nymphs consume spider mite eggs, larvae, and protonymphs.

•Although blind, Phytoseiulus detects spider mites by sensing webbing and leaf damage.

•It eliminates its prey by sucking out the contents, leaving only the empty skin behind.

Why use Phytoseiulus for spider mite control?

•High predation rate ensures rapid spider mite suppression.

•Fast life cycle leads to effective population growth.

•100% natural solution for sustainable pest control.
