Philadelphia-FMC Corp. recently announced full registration for Beleaf® 50SG insecticide for both the U.S. and Canada. “Beleaf has been a highly effective treatment for control of aphids in fruit and vegetable crops, and with recent full registrations and widespread availability, the product remains a convenient choice for growers,” said Bob Leifker, product manager for FMC Agriculture Products. The insecticide controls pests at contact and ingestion. With full registrations now in place, FMC said Canadian maximum residue limits have been established for Beleaf, allowing commodities treated with the insecticide to move into the Canadian channels of trade. In other news, FMC on Feb. 9 unveiled its Stallion(TM) insecticide for use in controlling 28 labeled insect pests, including alfalfa weevil and potato leafhopper. “In two recent trials, alfalfa treated with Stallion showed increased yields and superior control against alfalfa weevil, leafhoppers, and other insects,” said Joe Reed, FMC technical field manager. Stallion can be applied alone or in tank mixes with fungicides, post herbicides, and foliar fertilizers. In addition to alfalfa, Stallion can also be applied to corn, cotton, sorghum, soybeans, wheat, and sunflowers.
