Description

Spinetoram CAS NO 187166-40-1 is a semi-synthetic insecticide belonging to the spinosyn class, derived from the fermentation of the soil bacterium *Saccharopolyspora spinosa*. This advanced active ingredient is valued for its unique mode of action, targeting nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, which provides effective control of a broad spectrum of pests with minimal cross-resistance to other insecticide classes. It is an essential tool for agricultural professionals and formulators seeking reliable, high-performance crop protection solutions. Its use is critical in integrated pest management (IPM) programs for major fruit, vegetable, and field crops globally.

Application

• Agricultural Crop Protection: Primary use in controlling key lepidopteran pests (e.g., codling moth, leafminers, thrips) in fruit orchards, vineyards, and vegetable farms.
• Commercial Formulations: Serves as the active ingredient in the production of professional-grade insecticidal sprays, suspensions, and concentrates.
• Integrated Pest Management (IPM): A cornerstone product in IPM strategies due to its selectivity and favorable environmental profile, helping to preserve beneficial insect populations.
• Post-Harvest Treatment: Used in certain registered applications for protecting stored commodities from insect infestation.
• Greenhouse and Nursery Production: Effective for managing pest outbreaks in controlled environment agriculture.
• Turf and Ornamental Management: Applied for insect control in high-value turfgrass and ornamental plant settings.
