Pests such as destructive mites, yellow mites, white flies, and European red mites can cause significant damage to crops and hinder their growth. Bayer’s Oberon insecticide is a smart and high-performing solution for controlling these insects/pests in vegetables, fruits, cotton, and tea crops.
Oberon contains spiromesifen, a novel foliar contact insecticide/acaricide. The product effectively targets all developmental stages of mites and whitefly pests, resulting in long lasting control. It protects crops like brinjal, apple, cotton, chilli, tea, okra, tomato, and cucumber.
Bayer Oberon is a new chemistry with a unique mode of action. It contains spiromesifen, a chemical class of tetronic acid. It is a unique foliar contact insecticide/acaricide.
Spiromesifen works by disrupting the life cycle of mites and whiteflies. It acts on all developmental stages of pests, ensuring prolonged control and preventing damage to crops.
The active ingredient of Oberon, spiromesifen, acts by inhibiting lipid biosynthesis in insects, specifically targeting triglycerides and free fatty acids.
This biological activity correlates with tetronic acids, which play a crucial role in hindering the formation of lipids and contributing to the effective control of mites and whiteflies.
Some of the benefits include
Valuable solution for mite and whitefly resistance management due to a lack of cross-resistance with commercial products.
Specialised miticide that also controls whiteflies.
Introduces a new mode of action.
Exhibits excellent persistence against all developmental stages of whiteflies and mites, particularly eggs and nymphs.
Reduces female fecundity and enhances egg sterilization, resulting in un-hatched eggs.
It is considered relatively safe for the environment, making it an ideal fit in IPM programs.
