Carbine™ (flonicamid, F1785, IKI-220) is being co-developed by Ishihara Sangyo Kaisha, Ltd. and FMC Corporation and will be marketed by FMC in U.S. cotton. Carbine is a member of the new class of chemistry, the Pyridinecarboxamides, and laboratory testing has demonstrated lack of cross-resistance to all known insecticide classes, including the neonicotinoids. Results from extensive field and laboratory trials conducted since 2001 shows excellent residual control of cotton aphids with no effect on predators and parasites. At rates of 0.044 - 0.088 lbs ai/acre, Carbine provides control of Lygus spp. comparable to the neonicotinoid standards. US-EPA is currently reviewing this product and registration is expected in time for the 2006 cotton season. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
