Benevia is a broad-spectrum insecticide that is used to control a wide range of insect pests on a variety of crops. It contains the active ingredient flupyradifurone, which is a butenolide insecticide. Butenolide insecticides work by disrupting the insect's nervous system, which kills the insect.

Benevia is applied as a foliar spray and is typically applied early in the growing season, but can be applied at any time during the growing season, as long as the pests are actively growing. Benevia is effective against a wide range of insect pests, including:

  • Aphids
  • Whiteflies
  • Scale insects
  • Thrips
  • Mites

Benevia is also effective against some sucking pests, such as the potato tuber moth and the tomato leafminer.

  • Effective against a wide range of insect pests
  • Broad-spectrum insecticide with a different mode of action than other insecticides, which reduces the risk of resistance
