Crop Introduction
Spinosad is a contact and digestive insecticide that works by activating nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the neurological system of insects and causes the paralysis of the pest. This pesticide has a natural origin, which is produced by anaerobic fermentation by soil bacteria called Saccharopolyspora spinosa. Therefore, like chemical pesticides, it does not have extensive effects on organisms and the environment. Spinosad is influential on all stages of insects’ development, including eggs,
Caution and Warning
Mixing with other compounds: This pesticide can be mixed with many pesticides and fertilizers, but it is necessary to test it on a small scale before using it.
Post-consumption or post-cultivation problems: The use of pheromone traps is necessary to determine the most appropriate time to fight fruit-eating worms. A resistance management plan is used to reduce the possibility of insecticide resistance. Plants should not be sprayed more than three times in a row. The maximum frequency of spraying is six times a year. Spraying during strong sunlight on open flowers is not recommended at all. It causes spots or phtotoxicity on some plants such as African violets.
