Valent's Safari insecticide test performed well

Valent claims that the company's Safari insecticide works well in experiments against E. nigra, the E. rubra.

Comparative tests showed that among those who did not use insecticides, the average sparseness rate of crowns after three years of growth was 48%. Soil injection was performed on some trees and the dosage was 7.5 grams per inch of trunk diameter. The treated trees were averaged. The canopy sparsity rate was only 2.5%, and some trees did not even show any damage. For those trees that applied by spraying roots, the sparsity rate of crowns could be controlled within 10%, which fully indicated that this product could effectively protect trees from EAB.

The effective agent in Safari is dinotefuran. It has good solubility, low organic binding capacity, and is easily absorbed by trees into the vasculature affected by EAB. It is more effective than other non-absorbent products. , And the application is flexible, has a long application period, even if it is used later.

N. chinensis is a highly destructive pest. During the past decade, tens of millions of ash trees have died in the midwestern and eastern United States due to the invasion of this pest. It has spread rapidly and extensively. great.
