Rimon Label Expanded To Four Additional Crop Groups

EPA has granted federal registration to Rimon 0.83EC Insecticide for use on snap and dry beans, low-growing berries, cucurbit vegetables and fruiting vegetables, giving growers a powerful new pest management tool and a critical addition to rotational programs.

Rimon is a broad-spectrum insect growth regulator that provides excellent pest control on a wide variety of worms, beetles and other immature pests including, but not limited to, lygus, whiteflies, thrips, stink bugs and plant bugs. Distributed by Chemtura AgroSolutions, Rimon is also labeled for use on bushberries, head and stem brassica, pome fruits, potatoes and sweet potatoes, and stonefruits (except cherries).

The active ingredient in Rimon is novaluron, a chitin inhibitor that interferes with the development and successful molting of target insects.

While the Rimon label expansion has been approved by the EPA, some state labels may still be pending. Growers should consult with their local Chemtura AgroSolutions representative or visit www.ChemturaAgroSolutions.com to review the label for complete usage information.
