Sarisa insecticide now registered for drench applications and many common greenhouse vegetable crops

Sarisa insecticide from OHP has received a drench label, offering growers greater flexibility and application techniques to control a wide range of insect pests.

Sarisa’s new drench label (not yet registered in California and Oregon) allows the active ingredient, cyclaniliprole, to target immature (larvae/pupa) life stage protection against key nursery and greenhouse pests such as thrips, red-headed flea beetles and Japanese beetles, among others.

A diamide insecticide, the new Sarisa drench label registration also includes use on vegetables, specifically peppers and tomatoes, providing growers with a well-rounded insecticide for their ornamental and vegetable crops.

“Sarisa continues to provide growers with an outstanding broad-spectrum insect solution for both our nursery and greenhouse grower customers. This drench label addition will be welcomed by many of our growers,” said Duffey Clark, OHP vice president of commercial operations.

Sarisa provides quick knockdown and residual activity of piercing, sucking and chewing insects with its novel mode of action. Sarisa has a 4-hour Restricted Entry Interval (REI).

Sarisa is formulated as a user-friendly soluble concentrate that may be tank mixed with appropriate partners. The use of a spreader sticker may help performance. Refer to the label for specific recommendations.
