MOVENTO A SYSTEMIC SOLUTION FOR MULTIPEST MANAGEMENT

Research conducted by Bayer CropScience confirms that Moventos long-lasting, two-way systemic activity is key to a comprehensive pest management strategy. Its systemic activity allows Movento to move both from leaf to leaf and leaf to roots, as opposed to other insecticides that only move from roots to leaves. This added downward movement allows Movento to manage difficult pests below ground. Movento is fully systemic and moves from the leaves to wherever the plant is actively growing, including the root system.

the percentage of potatoes infected with Columbia root knot nematodes. When incorporated into a growers management program, Movento will improve the quality and yield of the crop. APHID AND PSYLLID ACTIVITY Green peach aphid and potato psyllid populations must be managed from the time the plant emerges through harvest to prevent PVY/PLR virus transmission from aphids. Today, growers in the Paci c Northwest are facing a new disease problem transmitted by psyllids zebra chip disease. Because of its excellent residual nymph control, Movento is considered a cornerstone to a

HOW MOVENTO WORKS Movento penetrates the leaf cuticle when sprayed onto the leaf surface where it is fully mobile in the plant. It then moves with the sugars produced in the leaves to all parts of the plant and controls pests as they attempt to feed. APPLICATION Make two applications of Movento starting around owering with the second application following 1021 days after the rst to manage aphids, psyllids, mites, nematodes, wireworms and thrips larvae. Always include a high-quality penetrating surfactant with the application to facilitate leaf uptake and systemic movement within the plant. Movento is part of a pest management program and should be applied when early thresholds are reached, prior to the establishment of a damaging pest population. NEMATODE ACTIVITY Because they lurk below ground, nematodes can cause extensive crop damage and can be dif cult to manage. Potato yield and quality are reduced by defects external and internal caused by nematodes directly and by the diseases they transmit. Nematicides typically have required application prior to or at planting. Today, however, growers can augment their nematode management programs by adding foliar applications of Movento, which reduce nematode populations, resulting in improved quality and increased yields. The research concluded that Movento has nematicidal activity on root knot and root lesion nematodes, thus preventing yield reductions.

mid-summer psyllid control program in production areas that have dealt with psyllids for years. Combined with Admire Pro at planting, good scouting and adulticide control products as needed, aphid and psyllid populations are kept in check and diseases are managed. The beauty of Movento is that it is active on so many pests that you just t it into a program for your primary targets, and then you know other pests will be controlled, too.

BOTTOM LINE Movento is a highly effective foliar systemic tool for the management of above-ground and below-ground pests in potatoes. To learn more about Movento, please contact your local Bayer CropScience representative or visit www.bayercropscience.us.

Dr. Saad Hafez, a nematologist with the University of Idaho, has seen significant activity on root knot and lesion nematode species. His studies found that, when applied at tuber initiation and again 14 days later, Movento reduced
