Bayer brings the insecticide Vayego® forte (tetraazoleamide) to Australia to prevent and control banana elephant armor

In August,Chinese Bayer Vayego® Forte was registered in Australia, bringing to the local growers a new form of insecticide containing 480 g/L tetraraniliprole, a suspension agent.
Vayego Forte is able to target the pest banana elephant armor in the Cavendis banana and 'Lady Finger' bananas (Banana weevil borer; Cosmopolites sordidus).
if this pest is not controlled, it poses a serious threat.
The biggest problem is that after the adult worm cross-tails, spawning in the bulbs of the banana semi-mature tissue, larvae drill the bulbs, the moths crisscross, seriously affect the growth of plants, vulnerable to wind fall, and even the whole plant rots to death.
the introduction of the chemical tetraazoleamide in Vayego Forte is important for controlling banana elephant armor.
the new product could be used as an alternative to insecticides currently registered for the prevention and control of the pest, such as aphids.
the new mode of action of diazoleamide will also have a positive impact on drug resistance management.
the product also has other significant advantages, such as not causing aphid outbreaks, low doses of use and reducing stem cracking.
the use of low doses, only a smaller volume needs to be applied to the plant to reduce the risk of stem cracking.
will conduct aVayego Forte product demonstration trial at several commercial banana farms in North Queensland's main banana growing areas during the current growing season.
will use commercial applications and large-scale samples, which will compare Vayego Forte with other products currently on the market.
