After the discovery of spinosad, Dow AgroSciences continued researching the possibility to develop new pesticides of the spinosine group. The use of a new technique, the artificial neural network (ANN), led to the identification of two structural modifications which increase the effectiveness of spinetoram compared to that of spinosad, improving the photostability. At the same time, they penetrate better through the insect's cuticle. These improvements make it more effective against insect pests.
Delegate® 250 WG, which has already become popular in the market, presents itself as a successful solution for growers.
Dow AgroSciences will be an exhibitor at the prestigious Fruit Attraction fair, in Madrid, where it will present this product and demonstrate its benefits. "We will be delighted to clarify any doubts regarding its properties or mode of use to anyone interested," concludes Jesús Ignacio Encinas, Food Chain manager at Dow AgroSciences.
