received approval from the California Department of Pesticide Regulation for a new formulation of one of its key biological insecticides, Grandevo WDG. Grandevo WDG is a water dispersible granule that offers improved handling and mixing properties, as well as more convenient packaging. Being a broad spectrum bioinsecticide, Grandevo WDG curbs a variety of hard to control insects on a wide range of crops, including navel orange worm (NOW) in almonds, Asian citrus psyllid in citrus, Lygus bug in strawberries, thrips in vegetables, berries and leafy greens and spotted wing Drosophila in berries, whiteflies in cucurbits, and mealybug in grapes. Grandevo WDG insecticide/miticide is derived from non-living bacteria that effectively controls a wide variety of chewing and sucking insects and mites from the unique action of multiple compounds through repellency, ingestion and reduction of pest fertility. In an integrated pest management (IPM) program, Grandevo WDG offers multiple modes of action that can significantly benefit producers trying to reduce the risk of insect resistance. Grandevo WDG is exempt from the requirement of tolerances and therefore can be sprayed right up to harvest without creating concerns for exported produce or produce that must meet strict residue requirements of the food marketing chain. Grandevo WDG offers improved handling and better, more convenient packaging. The water dispersible granule mixes easily in spray tanks, which saves applicators valuable time to the field. Grandevo WDG comes in a convenient 6- or 20-pound bag, which has an easy tear-top that allow mixers convenient access.
