Description

Another final approval of ANTHESIS P.C. in collaboration with Shin-Etsu Chemical Co LTD of Japan based in Tokyo of the product MISTER C (No. No. 9079/30.03.2017) for the control of the codling moth in apple, pear, walnut and hazelnut trees.

MISTER C is an innovative product for the control of Cydia pomonella, in apple, pear, walnut and hazelnut trees. It includes containers – canisters of controlled release of synthetic pheromones, chemically similar to the natural pheromones produced by Cydia pomonella, with the aim of preventing mating of the insect. For the success of the method, MISTER C must be placed BEFORE the flight of the insects of the wintering generation, in nine areas of more than 15 hectares as well as continuous monitoring of the enemy population, so that if it is considered necessary, we can intervene immediately when the populations of the insect are still low.

 

ADVANTAGES OF MISTER C

  1. The application of MISTER C contributes to the minimization of spraying with conventional approved insecticides, resulting in the minimization of chemical residues on the fruits and the increase of the commercial value of the products (advantage for the promotion of Greek exports)
  2. It is an ideal tool for integrated management programs and contributes to the rational use of plant protection products as provided for in EU Directive 128/2009, on Sustainable Agriculture
  3. The product is friendly to the user, the consumer and the environment (Low risk)
  4. The product is compatible with beneficial organisms, while insect enemies do not develop resistance
  5. It is an economic solution, while due to its duration of action (at least 150 days), its application before the start of the flight of the wintering generation sufficiently covers the entire growing season
