PRODUCT INFORMATION

Minecto Pro is a suspension concentrate that can be mixed with water and applied as a foliar spray to control a broad spectrum of insects and mites, as listed on this label. It is specially formulated for optimal performance by foliar application on the target crops.

MODE OF ACTION

Minecto Pro contains two active ingredients, cyantraniliprole and abamectin. Cyantraniliprole is a member of the anthranilic diamide class of insecticides with a novel mode of action on insect ryanodine receptors. Abamectin is a member of the avermectin class of miticide/insecticide with a unique agonist mode of action on the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Although Minecto Pro has some contact activity, it is most effective through ingestion of plant material. After exposure to Minecto Pro, affected insects and mites will rapidly stop feeding, become paralyzed, and typically die within 1-3 days, reducing both direct damage and the transmission of some arthropod-vectored plant diseases. Minecto Pro has preventative activity but low curative activity for sucking pests

PEST SUPPRESSION

Suppression can mean either inconsistent control (good to poor) or consistent control at a level below that generally considered acceptable for commercial control.

CROP TOLERANCE

Not all crops within a crop group, and not all varieties, cultivars, or hybrids of crops, have been individually tested for crop safety. It is not possible to evaluate for crop safety all applications of Minecto Pro on all crops within a crop group, on all varieties, cultivars, or hybrids of those crops, or under all environmental conditions and growing circumstances. To test for crop safety, apply the product in accordance with the label instructions to a small area of the target crop to ensure that a phytotoxic response will not occur, especially where the application is a new use of the product by the applicator. Refer to Section 4.4.2 for information regarding crop safety of tank mixtures.
