Date:07-23-2024

Atticus announces the addition of Cryptoid™ XL to its crop protection portfolio, furthering its commitment to provide distributors and growers with relevant branded-generic insecticides for the U.S. crop and specialty Ag markets.

Cryptoid XL (comparable to Baythroid^® XL) is a pyrethroid insecticide providing rapid knockdown and long-lasting residual control against over 100 unique pests. Its broad-spectrum label is approved for select citrus, corn, soybeans, cotton, and wheat, effectively targeting pests like bollworms, armyworms, and stink bugs. Cryptoid XL, containing the active ingredient beta-cyfluthrin, works on contact and through ingestion, requiring low use rates for effective control. The short re-entry and pre-harvest intervals, as well as its easy-to-use emulsifiable concentrate formulation, make this a flexible and user-friendly tool to add to your crop protection arsenal.

Atticus also expands its greenhouse and nursery portfolio

Atticus LLC also announces the continued expansion of its EcoCore Greenhouse and Nursery portfolio with the addition of three new products: Berati™ 10 XC, a plant growth regulator containing the active ingredient paclobutrazol, used in Piccolo^® 10 XC; Hexcel™ EW, an insecticide containing hexythiazox, the active ingredient used in Hexygon^® IQ; and Airaxo™, an insecticide containing flonicamid, the active ingredient found in Aria^®.

″Atticus is committed to greenhouse and nursery production. Our portfolio continues to expand, bringing growers more options for key formulations like Berati 10 XC, Hexcel EW, and Airaxo,″ says Jane Stanley, Manager, Technical Services – Greenhouse and Nursery.

• Berati™ 10 XC enables growers to optimize the growth of their ornamental plants through a potent and concentrated formula that is TEN times stronger than standard 0.4 percent formulations of paclobutrazol, providing Greenhouse and Nursery professionals the ease of compact and uniform growth.

• Hexcel™ EW provides reliable control of tetranychid spider mite species in ornamentals. It’s effective on eggs and immature life stages, rendering eggs that encounter treated surfaces unviable. With limited PPE requirements and an easy-to-use emulsion-in-water formulation, Hexcel EW offers user-friendly, long-lasting control.

• Airaxo™ causes rapid secession of feeding by piercing-sucking insects, working through both contact and systemic activity, providing long-lasting residual control. What’s more, is there are no known cross-resistance to other insecticides, making it an ideal replacement or rotation product.
