Sussex™
Insecticide Growth Regulator
Formulation: 70DF
Mealybugs and other Hemipteran pests including leafhoppers, planthoppers, and scales don’t stand a chance against Sussex™ Insect Growth Regulator. Why? Equivalent to Applaud®, Sussex™ inhibits chitin biosynthesis, suppresses oviposition of adults, and reduces the viability of eggs and is a perfect fit for resistance management spray programs. Trials and constant observation of the effectiveness of Sussex over a number of years in testing and in commercial use, has shown proven performance, flexible and reliable insect control, long residual protection and the product does not flare mites.Active Ingredient: Buprofezin
Sussex™ is effective against the nymphal stages of whiteflies, scales, mealybugs, and leafhoppers; Sussex is not an adulticide.The Sussex™ Strategy:
Start your mealybug control program at “bud-break” to maximize effective budbreak application timing.- Mealybugs overwinter at susceptible stages
- Crawlers are very susceptible to Sussex
- Mealybugs are exposed as they move to the buds to feed
- Treat the trunk, cordon, spurs/canes, clusters
- Sussex offers long residual activity
- Contact, residual, fuming action
