We Salute Our Farming Industry Protect Apples from Pest Damage with Intrepid*, SpinTor* Codling moth, leafrollers, worms and many other insects are major threats to apple quality and prof itability. Through the unique activity of Intrepid* 2F insecticide and SpinTor* 2SC Naturalyte* insect control, apple growers have new ways to fight these insect pests. Intrepid offers a new mode of action that causes molting acceleration in insects for effective, long lasting control of key lepidopteran pests, such as leafrollers, codling moth, lesser appleworm, tufted apple budmoth and oriental fruit moth. When ingested by the pest. Intrepid mimics the insect’s natural molting hormone and induces a pre mature lethal molt of the larvae within hours. It offers extended residual activity of 14 days or more on treated foliage. Spin Tor is a member of the spinosad family of chemistry and provides excellent control of oblique banded leafroller, spotted tentiform leafminer and tufted apple budmoth through both contact and ingestion activity. It is an outstanding rotational part ner with Intrepid. Both SpmTor and Intrepid were awarded the U.S. EPA’s Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award, which recognizes technologies that incorpo rate the principles of green chemistry into chemical design, manufacture and use Intrepid and SpmTor are perfect in IPM programs because of their safety to beneficial insects like bees, ladybeetles, parasitic wasps, predatory mites and lacewings, allowing these natural predators to sup press secondary pests like aphids and mites. Peach growers will also find SpmTor valuable for controlling pests like leafrollers and thnps. In addition, Intrepid, when used in an integrated spray program, will help tackle oriental fruit moth, peach t.vig borer and leafrollers For more information about using Intrepid and SpmTor to con trol a broad spectrum of insect pests, contact your local ag retailer. ofa,Dow AgroSciences www dowagro com
