Altacor eVo insect control is the foundation solution for Lepidopteran management in tree nut, pome fruits and stone fruits.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) granted FMC Corporation registration for Altacor eVo insect control powered by Rynaxypyr active (Chlorantraniliprole) in tree nuts (almonds, pistachios and walnuts), citrus, grapes (table and wine), pome fruits (apples and pears) and stone fruits (apricots, cherries, nectarines, peaches, plums, plumcots and prunes). Altacor eVo insect control is a highly concentrated formulation of Rynaxypyr active, the industry standard for long residual control of Lepidopteran pests.

Altacor eVo insect control is the foundation solution for Lepidopteran management. When used in accordance with the label, it is effective against Lepidopteran pests including navel orange worm, codling moth, oriental fruit moth, oblique banded leafroller, katydid nymph, omnivorous leafroller, light brown apple moth and more, including ovi-larvicidal, larvicidal and adult activity. It also has a little to no negative impact on beneficials and does not flare secondary pests or mites.

“Using fewer packaging means growers will spend less time handling the product. This resonates as growers making these applications put a significant amount of time and effort into product handling and measuring,” said Eric Castner, regional technical service manager for FMC.

 Castner also added that FMC continues to pave the path forward when it comes to enhanced product handling, performance, production and sustainability. Altacor eVo insect control brings a lot of benefits to the table that will be reaped by the grower from an integrated pest management and insect management perspective.”
