FMC has announced the launch of Coragen eVo insect control – a new and improved version of their popular Coragen product.
“Coragen insect control has been a revolutionary tool growers have trusted for years to protect their crops, and now we’ve evolved the formulation to enhance its capabilities,” states Chris Leon, regional technical service manager for FMC U.S. “The higher active ingredient load in Coragen eVo insect control provides the same extended residual control, while also saving growers time and money by helping limit spray applications across a season. Strengthening existing technology is another way FMC is continuing to bring innovation to the market and advance agriculture.”
Coragen eVo contains three times the active ingredient concentration, which results in a lower formulated product use rate. It has a common use rate of 1.7 oz./acre or equivalent to approximately 1 qt./20 acres.
The product can be used to manage pests such as Lepidoptera, leafminer larvae, the Colorado potato beetle, whitefly nymphs, and others while offering a low impact on beneficial insects. It can be applied to acres of tobacco, brassica/cole crops, potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce, sweet corn, alfalfa, strawberries, and other vegetable crops.
It easily tank mixes with other crop protection products, nutrients and adjuvants.
“The higher loading or concentration in Coragen eVo insect control means more convenience for our retail partners and grower customers having to handle, transport and store less packaging and product,” Leon says. “The transition to this new Coragen eVo insect control formulation allows lower use rates and a smaller package size, which improves operational efficiency.”
