Sarisa Insecticide now registered for drench applications
November 7, 2024
OHP is excited to announce the addition of a drench label with our popular Sarisa™ Insecticide, offering growers greater flexibility
and application techniques to control a wide range of insect pests.
Sarisa’s new drench* label allows the active ingredient, cyclaniliprole, to target immature (larvae/pupa) life stage protection against key nursery and greenhouse pests such as thrips, red headed flea beetles and Japanese beetles among many others.
A diamide insecticide, the new Sarisa drench label registration also includes use on vegetables, specifically peppers and tomatoes, again providing growers with a well-rounded insecticide for their ornamental and vegetable crops.
“Sarisa continues to provide growers with an outstanding broad-spectrum insect solution for both our nursery and greenhouse grower customers. This drench label addition will be welcomed by many of our growers.” says Duffey Clark, OHP Vice President of Commercial Operations.
A diamide insecticide, Sarisa provides quick knockdown and residual activity of piercing, sucking and chewing insects with its novel mode of action. Sarisa has a 4-hour Restricted Entry Interval (REI).
Sarisa is formulated as a user-friendly soluble concentrate that may be tank mixed with appropriate partners. The use of a spreader sticker may help performance. Please refer to the label for specific recommendations.
*Drench label not yet registered in CA & OR.
