    Aphids pose a double threat to crop yields.
    On the one hand, the ingestion of aphids will directly damage crops.
    On the other hand, aphids are an important disease vector for barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV), a destructive virus that can infect all cereal crops.
     
    In 2018, Australian vegetable and cotton growers were able to use Versys on a variety of vegetable crops and cotton for the first time.
    As the first Group 9D insecticide, Versys can stop insects from eating within 15 minutes.
     
    Now, Versys can be used for more crops to control more pests.
    The new label states that Russian wheat aphids, oat aphids, and corn aphids in wheat and barley, and green peach aphids and cabbage aphids in rape are the main targets for control, and all aphids are also registered.
