Bronte™ Insecticide/Nematicide*

Bronte Insecticide/Nematicide: Uncompromising Efficacy Against Thrips, Aphids, Mites & More

*Bronte Insecticide/Nematicide is pending state registrations.

Bronte is a new insecticide/nematicide with proven activity against a wide variety of pests, including thrips, aphids and mites. Trials over the last four years have shown that treating crops with Bronte has resulted in a significant increase in insect management and a reduction in damage while maintaining a sustainable approach to farming.

APPLICATION: Foliar and Soil

ACTIVE: RinoTec™ Technology

IRAC GROUP: “UNB” or Non-Bt bacterial agent of unknown or uncertain MoA classification scheme

TARGET PESTS: Twospotted Spider Mites, Thrips, Whitefiles

TARGET CROPS: Berries, Brassicas, Cucurbits, Fruiting Vegetables, Hops, Pome Fruits

Active: RinoTec™ Technology
Mode of Action: Foliar – Ingestion
IRAC: UNB – Bacterial Agents (Non-Bt) of Unknown or Uncertain MOA
Formulation: Liquid
Translocation: RinoTec™ Technology uses Trans Epidermal Mobility (T.E.M.) which allows for lethal amounts of active material to localize in the leaf surface structure, just below the lead surface. Bronte is not systemic, and good spray coverage is essential.
REI: 4-Hours
PPE: Minimal
PHI: 0-Day
HOW BRONTE WORKS: Bronte works on foliar insects via ingestion activity. Insects that ingest the material quickly cease feeding and die. The mode of action at a cellular level is under investigation by a university research team.

Bronte has been extensively tested by universities and third-party contract researchers demonstrating its value to growers and consultants looking for new modes of action to enhance their whitefly, thrips and mite control programs. Bronte is exempt from residue tolerances and has established MRLs giving growers, packers, and shippers freedom from overly burdensome regulations and restrictions.

The following best use practices should be put into place to effectively use Bronte Insecticide/Nematicide:

  • Use Rate: 18-20 fl. oz./A
  • Application: Foliar
  • Compatible with fertilizers and crop protection products
  • Complimentary fit in IPM and resistance management programs
  • Target immature stages of spider mites, whiteflies, and thrips
  • Good spray coverage is essential
    • Follow up with an alternative mode of action 7 days after application

Always read and follow label instructions.
