Athena: Athena insecticide has excellent spider-mite control as well as control over a variety of insects in potatoes such as psyllid, lygus, leafminers, aphids, armyworms, Colorado potato beetles, leafhoppers, grasshoppers and corn borers. Athena is an excellent choice for mite and broad-spectrum insect control. The insecticide is also a strong resistant management tool.
Beleaf: Beleaf insecticide offers a new class of chemistry with a new mode of action. This A-Type Potassium Channel Active provides effective, targeted control of aphids (including strong protection against green peach aphid) and plant bugs. Within 30 minutes of exposure, pests begin to lose the ability to feed, which is irreversible, eventually starving them to death. The rapid reduction in feeding dramatically reduces insect damage and disease transmission. Soft on beneficial insects and predator mites with no known cross-resistance with other insecticides, Beleaf is a valuable new component in IRM and IPM programs and is ideal for use in seed-producing areas to prevent the transmission of PVY virus.
Brigadier: Brigadier insecticide utilizes a dual mode of action to control a variety of damaging insect pests including potato aphids, Colorado potato beetles, potato leafhoppers and many others with excellent residual control and prolonged protection against sucking and chewing insects. Used at-plant in potatoes, Brigadier controls soil insects while continuing to provide systematic control of foliar insects. In addition, Brigadier makes an excellent resistance management partner.
Capture LFR: Capture LFR insecticide provides in-furrow protection of wireworms, grubs and other seedling pests, promoting a more complete zone of protection around the seedling to combat insect pressure. This results in better stands and high yields from potato crops. Mixed with water or liquid fertilizers, Capture LFR insecticide provides long soil activity and improves insect control.
Mustang Maxx: Mustang Maxx insecticide provides broad-spectrum protection with residual control of more than 100 different pests, including cutworms, cabbage loopers, cucumber beetles and potato leafhoppers. Mustang Maxx can be tank-mixed with labeled fungicides.

Skyraider: Skyraider insecticide/miticide offers broad-spectrum control against soil and foliar insects on potatoes and other crops. It is an optimized formulation of proven crop protection technology that includes two different modes of action. This advanced offering hosts an increased ratio of a pyrethroid to support rapid insect knockdown while delivering longer-lasting residual, which is driven by the formulation's neonicotinoid component. Skyraider has unique attributes proven to perform equal to or better than the market leaders by delivering highly efficacious control of tough-to-manage pests like aphids, Lygus species, stink bugs and wireworms.
It provides both translaminar and systemic movement, which allows improved penetration and relocation of the active ingredients throughout the plant, including feeding sites on the underside of leaves. Extensive field trials have delivered high performance ratings for Skyraider in regard to efficacy and economic value in addition to performance advantages over several competitive products. On potatoes, the Skyraider label includes wireworms and Colorado potato beetle, which are two pests that require growers to remain on constant high alert.
ABBA Ultra 0.3: ABBA Ultra 0.3 is a novel liquid miticide/insecticide for use on potatoes and other crops, providing superior performance and residual control of a wide spectrum of mite species and insects. Its advanced formulation delivers consistent control at half the standard use volume of current products. Labeled for use on potatoes, it delivers long-lasting control and maintains superior performance and crop safety as a leading abamectin product.
As one of the first of its kind, its new formulation minimizes environmental concerns by reducing impact on air quality. This advantageous characteristic is a result of the product's new concentrated formula, which is used at exactly half the rate of standard abamectins. With reduced formulated product per acre, growers who use ABBA Ultra also gain ground by having less material to store and manage alongside less container waste. ABBA Ultra also has reduced PPE restrictions for use and handling.

Fastac EC: Fastac EC insecticide provides growers with a new tool to stop insect pests such as beetles, cicadas, aphids, ants and more from damaging valuable crops. Alpha-cypermethrin, the active ingredient in Fastac EC insecticide, acts on the nervous systems of insects by modifying nerve impulses in ways that lead to overstimulation, exhaustion and death. It provides growers peace of mind with excellent knock-down and residual control, and has a repellent effect on damaging insect pests.
Fastac EC insecticide is also an effective tool for growers looking to proactively manage insect pests. Combined with its low-dose rate and broad-crop label, which includes potatoes, Fastac EC insecticide is a welcome addition to the growing portfolio of crop protection products from BASF.

Rozol Vole Bait Pellets: Rozol Vole Bait Pellets, a restricted use pesticide packed in 50-pound bags, are a highly palatable and weather-resistant rodenticide designed to control vole (meadow mice) under demanding field conditions.
Rozol Pellets are made with highly palatable, feed grade-quality grains-making them more readily accepted than other baits, such as zinc phosphide, which can taste garlicky and induce "bait shyness." It holds up to rainy, wet conditions before and after snowpack-something potato growers need to consider. Under moist conditions, zinc phosphide easily "gasses off"-losing its effectiveness to control voles.
Rozol Pellets are labeled for use in border areas and buffer strips adjacent to crops, and is registered for use in all states except Hawaii and Washington, D.C. In all registered states except California, Colorado and New York, it can be broadcast or spot-applied twice per year at a rate of 10 lbs. per acre. Idaho and Washington now have aerial broadcast use 24(c) labels.
BioSafe Systems

AzaGuard: BioSafe Systems' AzaGuard is a 3 percent azadirachtion-formulated Insect Growth Regulator (IGR), offering broad-spectrum insecticidal control on more than 300 insect species. AzaGuard works to prevent molting between larval, pupal and nymphal stages while also repelling insects on treated crops, resulting in the reduction of insect damage to plants.
AzaGuard is a natural botanical pesticide derived from the extract of Neem seed and meets all of the criteria of the National Organic Program (NOP) for organic crop production. Unlike other azadiractin-based products, AzaGuard extract retains not only azadirachtin but also related liminoids, making it a powerful natural pesticide over a broad range of pests.
AzaGuard's natural formula does not induce any mutational resistance and can be safely combined with the BioSafe Systems' activated peroxide line of algaecides, fungicides and bactericides for a systems approach for total Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and disease control around crops and other treated areas.
