Ventigra Insecticide

Ventigra™ insecticide controls piercing-sucking insects using mode of action subgroup 9D. The rapid onset of action stops insect feeding and damage, and translaminar movement delivers optimal protection against actively feeding pests.

Pest pressure is real for today’s growers . From commercial greenhouse and nursery ornamental production to landscaping sites —the damage piercing-sucking insects can inflict on plants affects beauty as much as the bottom line. Growers need the most advanced, leading-edge tools to combat resistance while allowing beneficials to thrive. Ventigra insecticide gives you the powerful and precise pest management solution you need to do just that.

 

Introducing Ventigra Insecticide

 

"Ventigra insecticide provides quick knock-down of aphid and whitefly populations. When applied at the label rates, it significantly reduced the numbers of aphids and whitefly nymphs within three days of application — providing at least 28 days of control for both pests.”

Precision Targeted

A new mode of action provides precision-targeted control of piercing-sucking pests.

  • Controls notorious pests such as aphids and whiteflies
  • No known cross-resistance to key commercial insecticide classes

 

How It Works

  • Ventigra insecticide has a new, unique mode of action known as chordotonal organ TRPV channel modulators (IRAC Group 9D).
  • The chordotonal organs are biological stretch sensors.
    They may be located in the antennae, mouth, legs, wings or thorax of insects.
  • These stretch sensors provide insects with their senses of hearing, orientation and balance. In insect leg joints, the same sensors are critical for coordinated movement.
  • Ventigra acts selectively on these stretch sensors making it impossible for the insect to detect sound, gravity and the movement and position of body parts.
  • Deaf, disoriented and uncoordinated, insects affected by Ventigra rapidly cease feeding and die of dehydration.

 

Pests Controlled

  • Green peach aphid (Myzus persicae)
  • Melon aphid (Aphis gossypii)
