Insecticide Uptake in Anjou Pears

Dan Adamson, Regional Agronomist PNW • Jul 25, 2022

INTRODUCTION

Ultor insecticide (Spirotetramat) is very effective however is slow to get into the plant. Grower claims no activity for at least 10 days after application. Speeding up activity to stop psyllid destruction is key.


HYPOTHESIS

NanoPro with Ultor can increase AI uptake.


MATERIALS


PROCEDURE

  1. Two Anjou blocks were sprayed on the same day. All rates were the same with exception to the NanoPro. Check vs trial.
  2. Check (201 Larson Ranch)
  3. Trial (102 A Ranch)
  4. The NanoPro was mixed in with the Ultor and then the adjuvants were added.
  5. Application was done on a Thursday (June 30th) and tissue samples were pulled on Tuesday (July 5).
  6. 8 new shoots per block were pulled at 10:00 AM, the leaves were washed, patted dry and then shipped overnight to Pacific Ag Labs for AI testing.


DATA

CONCLUSION

Applications of Ultor with nanoliquid technology increased the AI content of new shoots by 64% 5 days after application.

Aqua-Yield® was excited to partner with Beck's again this year and trial some of our nanoliquid® products through their PFR (Practical Farm Research) program. Our 2-year multi-location trials show how our technology helps growers take their inputs to the next level. We strive to become PFR Proven next year!

NanoPro® PGR Solutions

By Brit Hunter, Technical Agronomist • 30 Nov, 2023
NanoPro is the Aqua-Yield® flagship carrier adjuvant for crop protection applications. Add NanoPro to any Plant Growth Regulator (PGR) product to increase plant uptake and amplify the end result for crops. PGR products mimic natural plant hormones that either promote or slow plant growth. The chemical structure of PGR products is highly synergistic with Aqua-Yield nanotechnology.
