CARY, N.C. —As populations of spider mites, brown almond and other tetranychid mites begin to expand throughout the summer, threatening the success of a bountiful crop, it is important to find affordable solutions to manage the issue. Applying a miticide as part of an integrated pest management plan helps reduce the chance of resistance development, and allows growers to gain control of mites with fewer applications.
As specialty crop growers evaluate their crops for pests this summer, Atticus, branded-generic crop protection manufacturer, announces a portfolio of miticides available to treat almonds, grapes, walnuts, cotton and stone fruit.
Groves and orchards with water stress and ongoing warm temperatures are at risk for an issue with mites. As thresholds are reached — when 15% of leaves sampled have a mite present — it’s time to treat with an effective solution that offers both strong knockdown and residual control, while also minimizing the impact on beneficial mites and insects. Atticus has a full suite of proven miticides with the active ingredients you’re familiar with, at the right value.

CARY, N.C. (Feb. 20, 2020) — Atticus, LLC, a branded-generic crop protection manufacturer, announces a suite of insect growth regulator products for Southeastern and Western specialty-crop growers. These products, for use on citrus, vegetables, cotton, tree nuts, stone fruit, and more, allow for flexible application and mixability in integrated pest management programs.
The Atticus portfolio of insect growth regulators offers proven results in disrupting the growth process of harmful pests in a variety of crops, as well as non-crop uses. The new insect growth regulators provide long-lasting control, targeting harmful pests, while remaining gentle on beneficial species.
Reemit™ 0.5 G Fire Ant Bait features pyriproxyfen in a granule form that worker fire ants carry back to the colony to disturb the reproductive process. Applied in early spring or summer, Reemit offers effective season-long control and colony-free pastures, rangeland and groves.
Inspirato™ 2 F protects specialty crops from the destructive feeding damage of moths and butterflies. With methoxyfenozide as its active ingredient, Inspirato uses a unique mode of action, allowing growers to target harmful pests, while remaining gentle on beneficial insects, mites and pollinators.
Trignata™ WSP affects the natural growth mechanisms of insects by stunting growth before the population can spread, with the power of cyromazine. Trignata quickly penetrates leaves and becomes rainfast after absorption to control insects such as leafminers and the Colorado potato beetle.
Durant™ 2 L IGR uses the active ingredient diflubenzuron to target a broad spectrum of insects, including Asian citrus psyllid, leafminers, katydids, boll weevils and more. Its unique mode of action disrupts the molting process of insect larvae with an effective formula that maintains residual control.
