ACP Management from Bayer

Trials conducted in Florida show that Bayer's product portfolio provides excellent control of nymph and adult Asian citrus pysllids. As a foliar insecticide especially formulated for Florida citrus growers, Movento® MPC provides superior allover plant protection above and below ground.

The presence of new flush, a key factor for ACP infestation, also aids in Movento MPC movement and control and helps ensure tree protection. Additionally, a University of Florida trial conducted by Dr. Michael Rogers showed that Admire® Pro and Sivanto™ Prime caused immediate feeding cessation and prevented both xylem and phloem feeding in Asian citrus psyllid adults.

Nymph ACP Control

Study performed by Roy Morris of Bayer CropScience in mature Valencia oranges in Fort Meade, Florida, showed Movento® MPC helped control nymph ACP by 92%.
