Key Benefits
Enhanced Yield and Crop Quality: Grandevo WDG helps boost crop yield and quality by quickly controlling pest damage and preventing secondary outbreaks. By minimizing pest-caused crop stress, this insecticide allows your plants to grow more robustly and produce higher-quality yields.
Ideal for Insect Resistance Management (IRM): With its multiple modes of action, Grandevo WDG is highly effective in insect resistance management (IRM) programs. This versatility reduces the likelihood of pests developing resistance, ensuring long-term efficacy in pest control strategies.
Low Impact on Beneficials and Pollinators: One of Grandevo WDG's standout features is its minimal impact on beneficial insects and pollinators. This ensures that your IPM program supports a healthy ecosystem, allowing beneficial species to thrive while targeting harmful pests.
0-Day Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI) and 4-Hour Restricted Entry Interval (REI): Grandevo WDG offers the convenience of a 0-day PHI, meaning crops can be harvested immediately after application, and a short 4-hour REI, which minimizes downtime in the field. This flexibility is precious during peak growing and harvesting seasons.
Minimal Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and MRL Exempt: The product's formulation requires minimal PPE, making it safer and more convenient for workers to apply. Grandevo WDG is MRL (Maximum Residue Level) exempt, making it suitable for markets with strict residue limits, including those focused on organic produce.
Application Methods
Grandevo WDG can be applied using several methods to suit different farming practices:
- Foliar Application (Aerial or Ground): This method is ideal for targeting pests on the surface of plants. Ensure even coverage for maximum effectiveness.
- Chemigation: Integrate Grandevo WDG into irrigation systems to efficiently distribute the insecticide across large areas.
- Soil Treatment: Apply directly to the soil to control soil-dwelling pests.
- Backpack/Hand Sprayer: Suitable for smaller areas or targeted applications requiring precision.
Active Ingredient
The active ingredient in Grandevo WDG is Chromobacterium subtsugae strain PRAA4-1T, along with spent fermentation media. This unique microbial strain offers broad-spectrum activity against various pests while being safe for beneficial organisms.
