UPL Launches New Insecticide Product for Specialty Crops

UPL has announced the launch of Boxadon 360 SC insecticide, a new formulation of the active ingredient spirotetramat designed to give growers a flexible and effective option for managing sucking pests in key specialty crops.

Boxadon 360 SC is a systemic product formulated with an exclusive 3-pound load of spirotetramat for a more flexible application rate. The powerful active ingredient moves throughout the entire plant, including new growth, to protect it from leaves to roots. It then becomes active when ingested by sucking pests, providing excellent control with a high level of residual efficacy.

Key specialty crops included on the Boxadon 360 SC label include: citrus, grapes, leafy vegetables, onions, pome fruit, potatoes, and tree nuts. It is effective in controlling key pests in those crops, including vine mealybug, Gill’s mealybug, thrips, pear and Asian citrus psyllids, as well as aphids, whiteflies, and scales.
