Arysta LifeScience partners with Dow AgroSciences to launch insecticide Closer 500WG in Vietnam

Closer 500WG
Category:Insecticides
Arysta LifeScience Vietnam has partnered with Dow AgroSciences in Ho Chi Minh City to launch CLOSER™ 500WG (sulfoxaflor), a new brown plant hopper (BPH) insecticide. CLOSER 500WG is suitable for insect resistance management and IPM (integrated pest management) programs on rice.

The product launch was announced at a seminar entitled, “BPH and management of insect resistance,” which was held in Can Tho City, Vietnam. Participants at the seminar included Vietnamese agricultural experts, representatives of the Plant Protection Department (PPD), sub-PPDs in Mekong delta, wholesalers, retailers and farmers who have applied CLOSER 500WG in their own rice fields.

CLOSER 500WG (active ingredient sulfoxaflor), is a member of a new chemical class of insecticides called sulfoximines, which was invented by Dow AgroSciences. It is a broad, SAP-feeding-spectrum insecticide that is effective at low rates, fast acting with extended residual control and safe for natural beneficial predators.

In Mekong Delta, Arysta LifeScience has conducted field demonstrations, trial use samples and technology transfer to farmers, in collaboration with local plant protection stations.

“Feedback from farmers has been encouraging,” said Tran Duc Van, Country Manager, Vietnam, Arysta LifeScience. “Field trials are now in progress to assess the robustness of CLOSER 500WG control on whiteflies, aphids and mealy bugs in vegetables and fruit crops.”

Arysta LifeScience Vietnam, the distributor of the product, will implement marketing activities and technical transfer to farmers.
