Best Insecticide For Fall Armyworm
Introduction
Hello and welcome to our program. I’m your host, Farmer Jones. As regular listeners know, we’re always on the hunt for the best solutions to help farmers protect their crops from pests. And today’s topic is no exception: we’re talking about getting rid of fall armyworms. These invasive pests can do a lot of damage in just a few days. So, it’s important to find an insecticide that can get rid of them quickly while also being safe for your family and the environment. Today I’ll be sharing my top five recommendations with you, plus some tips on how to make sure you use them safely and effectively so that you get results that last:
Basudin
Basudin is a systemic insecticide. It means that when it is applied to plants, the insecticide is absorbed by the plant’s roots and travels through its vascular system to all of its leaves. It also has a broad spectrum of activity against aphids, whiteflies and caterpillars. Basudin works by disrupting the nervous system in insects and they die within a few hours after eating or coming into contact with it.
Basudin has three modes of action: 1) Contact or stomach poisoning 2) Contact stomach poisoning 3) Stomach poisoning
Lorsban
Lorsban is a broad-spectrum insecticide that acts on contact and through the stomach. It’s a systemic pesticide, which means it moves throughout an organism’s body and kills it from within. Lorsban is also a contact poison, so if you spray it on an animal, they’ll die right away.
Cymbush
Cymbush is a granular insecticide that can be used to control fall armyworm. Cymbush is a systemic insecticide that is applied to the soil and taken up by the plant.
Metasystox
Metasystox is an organic insecticide, meaning it’s composed of natural ingredients. It’s used to combat fall armyworms and other pests that feed on crops like corn and wheat.
It took over four years for Metasystox to go through the EPA approval process, but once it did, the product became the only organic insecticide approved by the EPA to fight fall armyworms.
Purespray Green Oil
Purespray Green Oil is a natural insecticide that is effective against a wide range of pests. It’s a contact insecticide and insect growth regulator, which means it works by killing insects on contact, and prevents them from developing into adults. This makes it ideal for controlling:
- leaf-feeding caterpillars like fall armyworm
- grasshoppers (if you use it before they hatch)
In addition to being an effective way to eradicate your problem, this product also has many benefits over other solutions. For example:
Pyganic Crop Protection EC 5.0
Pyganic Crop Protection EC 5.0 is an organic insecticide that is effective against fall armyworm. It is a broad spectrum contact insecticide, so it can kill insects on contact before they eat your crops or lay eggs in the soil. Pyganic also works as a repellent and will prevent insects from eating your crops if they come into contact with the treated area within 24 hours of application.
Pyganic has been tested by independent laboratories and found to be safe for humans, animals and the environment when used according to label directions for agricultural uses only (not for household pest control). Because it is made from naturally occurring plant oils rather than petrochemicals, Pyganic does not harm earthworms or beneficial insects such as bees or butterflies when used properly
Pyganic can be applied during any part of the growing season but should not be applied at temperatures below 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 Celsius), because it may take longer than 24 hours for some pests to die after coming in contact with this product
