Novel products Conclusion

Start
Introduction

 With a rapidly growing

population.
 Increased pest resistance
to chemicals.
 Many chemical products
become banned .
 Scarce methods of control.
 Develop and maintain
sustainable agriculture and
healthy environments.
 Development of innovative
strategies.

 Inscalis (insecticide)

 Submitted for use on a broad range of row Exceptional Activity

crops
 It has a favorable environmental profile
with low acute toxicity, Fast acting
 Limited effect on non target organisms
 no known cross resistance to commercial

 Inscalis

Pyropene family
Group 9D

Mode of action
Presence of translaminar
chemistry, but not fully
systemic.
 Inscalis
Mode of action

Selectively binds to the TRP ion channels

 channels open  continuous
chordotonal nerve signals  joint
movement.

Failure of the brain to detect sound,

gravity or the position or movement of
body parts.

 uncoordinated movements fast

feeding sensation  Finally the insect
die from dehydration and starvation.
 Broflanilide (insecticide)

 It’s a powerful and versatile

insecticide for farmers and pest
management professionals
seeking a top-performing pest
control tool.
 It has a unique chemical
structure characterized as
a meta-diamide.
 No resistance.
Target: It delivers excellent efficacy in controlling
problematic chewing insect pests, including :

Lepidoptera

Thrips

Beetles
And urban and rural pests such as :

Termites
Ants

cockroaches Flies
Broflanilide Group 30

Mode of action

It is a GABA-gated
chloride channel
allosteric modulator
 Opera (fungicide) Fight powdery mildew resistance against
triazole.

 Broad-spectrum of cereal disease

protection, and boost cereal
yields.
 Used mainly to control: net blotch
and Septoria nodorum blotch.
 Enhanced green-leaf retention
throughout the season.
 Comprehensive coverage of the
key diseases.

Triple action control, with preventative,

curative and eradicant activity.
 Opera Group 3 DMI and Group 11 strobilurin (Qol)
fungicide

Mode of action
Active ingredient: epoxiconazole 50 g / liter +
pyraclostrobin 133 g / liter
 Opera is a fungicide with protectant and systemic properties.
 It blocks the energy supply of the fungus + stop the
development of cell membrane  ensuring a longer
protection duration.
 Increase in leaf index area and retention of leaves
 Ground and aerial application
 Opera Recommended application timings
Apply when conditions favor disease development and preferably prior to
development of high levels of disease in the crop. Do not apply later than GS59
because yield responses are unlikely

Symptoms of fifth-instar larvae of Spodoptera

litura treated via chemical injections.
(a) Flubendiamide at 0.25 ng, 3 hr after application:
immobility, body contractions, and vomiting.
(b) Compound 20 at 2.5 ng, 3 hr after application:
vigorous excitation and vomiting (compound 21
showed the same insecticidal symptoms as
compound 20).
(c) Compound 25 at 2.5 ng, 3 hr after application:
vigorous excitation and vomiting. (d) Control.
  Sustainable plant protection
using novel is very effective.
 However, relying only on them
Conclusion is not solution.
 Thus the only viable solution
for the future is integrated
pest management.
