Role of DuPont Cyazypyr™ insecticide in the management of whiteflies in multiple crops

Cyazypyr™ (cyantraniliprole) is the second active ingredient from the anthranilic diamide class of chemistry. It is the first diamide to provide cross-spectrum control of chewing and sucking pests, including important species of whiteflies, while conserving beneficial arthropods. Cyazypyr™ can be applied through a variety of application methods including foliar, drip chemigation, and other soil delivery methods. Cyazypyr™ has been proven extremely effective at controlling populations of several key whitefly species. Its mode of action causes rapid inhibition of feeding activity, which in turn results in reduction in the transmission of important crop diseases, when used as part of an integrated pest management program. The unique spectrum, rapid feeding cessation, safety to beneficial arthropods and the product fit in grower-preferred application methods all make Cyazypyr™ a valuable addition to crop management programs for the control of whiteflies.
