Zeal SC Miticide Now Registered With Liquid Formulation

Valent U.S.A. Corporation announced that Zeal SC Miticide has been registered by the EPA with a new liquid formulation that allows for quick mixing and easy loading. This new label use provides growers with the ability to apply Zeal with both ground and aerial equipment, saving time and offering increased flexibility.

Zeal is registered for various row crops and melons. The miticide targets all stages of the mite life cycle, from egg to adult, helping to control multiple generations and ultimately protecting the crop. With its translaminar action, it reaches the mites where they hide and offers proven, long-lasting control with a single application. It will be sold in a 2.5 gallon package providing more than 100 treated acres per jug.

“The new dual application method of Zeal SC provides growers with more options to control all life stages of mites from eggs to maturity,” said Carlos Granadino, product development manager for Valent. “Zeal is Integrated Pest Management- and farm-friendly—it’s softer on beneficial insects than most currently labeled miticides used on corn, and has a short restricted entry interval.”

Zeal removes the yield-loss potential caused by two-spotted spider mites, Banks grass mites, and other species of spider mites. The unique mode of action in Zeal controls mites that are resistant to older chemistries lacking residual control.

Zeal is compatible with postemergence herbicides and most adjuvants.
