Efficon^® insecticide is a unique mode of action for effective whitefly control, supporting resistance management, protecting new growth, and integrating seamlessly into IPM programs. Its flexibility, combined with its systemic xylem movement, allows it to safeguard new crop growth early in the season and remain effective after canopy closure, when spray penetration becomes more challenging. This ensures consistent performance across different crop stages and environmental conditions.

Its active ingredient, dimpropyridaz, targets TRPV channel activation in the chordotonal organs of pests from a unique upstream point compared to Groups 9 and 29 insecticides. This distinct mode of action enhances resistance management by broadening rotation options and reducing dependence on existing chemistry.

Efficon is highly compatible with Integrated Pest Management (IPM). Studies show it has low toxicity to bees and bee larvae, with no significant effects on mortality, foraging, or colony development when applied at higher rates before flowering. It also has minimal impact on most predatory and parasitic beneficial species, allowing it to complement biological control tools.

Offering strong whitefly control, excellent IPM compatibility, and a unique resistance‑management profile, Efficon insecticide provides growers with a flexible, sustainable solution for long‑term crop protection.
