Spirotetramat 150 g/L OD

Mode of Action:

Movento works mainly by ingestion and inhibits lipid biosynthesis in insects. It belongs to the keto-enol insecticide group and affects the development of immature stages of sucking pests. Its unique two-way systemic movement helps distribute the active ingredient throughout the plant.

• Two-way systemic action—moves upward and downward within the plant.
• Controls difficult-to-reach sucking pests.
• Effective against several important sucking-pest groups.
• Provides long-lasting pest suppression.
• Helps protect newly developed plant tissues.
• Useful as part of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programmes.
• OD formulation supports uptake and biological efficacy.

Application Method:

Apply as a foliar spray using sufficient water for thorough coverage of the crop. Apply at the early stage of pest infestation and follow the crop-specific label recommendations. Avoid unnecessary repeated applications and rotate with insecticides having different modes of action as part of resistance management.

Dose:

Crop-specific dose: Follow the current Bayer India label for the crop and target pest. Do not use a single dose across all crops, as recommended rates vary by crop and pest. Bayer's India product page lists Movento packs of 100 ml, 250 ml, 500 ml and 1 Litre.

Pests:

• Aphids
• Thrips
• Whiteflies
• Mealybugs
