Overture insecticide from Valent Professional Products has been registered in California for use on greenhouse-grown ornamental crops. It is now available for use in all 50 states.
Overture works preventively or curatively to kill adult and immature thrips, and it also controls defoliating larvae of many lepidopterous pests. It can be used on greenhouse-grown ornamentals including flowering and foliage crops, ground covers, shrubs and ornamental trees and non-bearing fruit and nut trees.
Overture, which contains the active ingredient Pyridalyl, has a novel mode of action and is an excellent resistance management tool and rotation partner for Conserve SC. It is also soft on most beneficial insects.
