Tolfenpyrad is a insecticidal compound discovered by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation (now Nihon Nohyaku Co., Ltd.) Because tolfenpyrad is a broad spectrum insecticide and has not exhibited cross resistance with current products, it is being developed for use in vegetables, in particular cruciferous leafy vegetables, fruits and other high-value markets. Development of tolfenpyrad began in 1996, and initial registration was granted in Japan in April 2002 under the trade name of Hachi-Hachi EC, and registered in Dominican Republic, Thailand and Taiwan, continuously. Since being launched, tolfenpyrad has exhibited excellent insecticidal performance in several crops. Tolfenpyrad is under the development in several countries, such as the United States, Brazil, etc.
Characteristics:
- Tolfenpyrad is a novel insecticide with a new mode of action that results in excellent performance against pests that are resistant to existing insecticides, e.g. organo-phosphates, pyrethroids, benzoyl-ureas and neonicotinoids.
- Tolfenpyrad shows broad insecticidal activity against important and difficult to control pests, such as Hemiptera, Coleoptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera, Thysanoptera and Acarina.
- Tolfenpyrad mainly provides contact activity against target pests on egg, larval, nymphal and adult stages.
- Tolfenpyrad also exhibits antifeedant activity especially against Lepidoptera.
- Tolfenpyrad shows sufficient control activity against powdery mildew fungi.
