INSEC TICIDES
INSEC TICIDES Cormoran®
FOR SERIOUS INSECT PROTECTION.
Cormoran is a broad spectrum insecticide with two modes of action for long-lasting control against the toughest potato insect pests. A foliar applied insecticide providing both knockdown and residual, Cormoran controls the damaging life stages of target pests including eggs, immatures, and adults. Cormoran is an optimized pre-mix of novaluron and acetamiprid, taking away the guesswork of mixing while providing an excellent rotational product to manage insecticide resistance. The chitin inhibitor mode of action in Cormoran specifically targets egg and immature insect stages. This means that immature insects are unable to molt and grow a new exoskeleton, so they can never mature and reproduce. Since immature insects can’t reproduce to create a new generation, this mode of action is excellent for residual control as adults die off. Cormoran’s nicotinic receptor modulator affects sucking pests systemically and prevents them from being able to feed on valuable crops. This mode if action acounts for the knockdown properties of Cormoran.
Quick Facts Active Ingredient Novaluron + Acetamiprid Target Pests Armyworms, Colorado potato beetle, flea beetle, caterpillar, leafhopper, looper, leafminer, aphid, European corn borer, potato psyllid, whitefly Signal Word Caution

Fulfill®
FOR SERIOUS INSECT PROTECTION.
Fulfill is a systemic insecticide that protects spuds from aphid and psyllid feeding, PLUS reduces virus transmission and has 2+ weeks residual control, while being soft on beneficials.
Quick Facts Active Ingredient Pymetrozine Mode of Action Systemic insecticide that causes feeding to stop shortly after exposure Target Pests Potato psyllids, aphids, whiteflies. Also reduces the transmission of zebra chip, leaf curl, and potato virus Y
Formulation Water-dispersible granule containing 50% AI by weight IRAC Group Number 9B Restricted Use No Re-Entry Interval 12-hour
Signal Word Caution Timing Before adult populations build Packaging Information 27.5 oz bottles (6/case) Rate 2.75 - 3.25 oz/A Texas only: 2.75 - 5.50 oz/A
As an aphid specialist, Fulfill causes all life stages of aphids to stop feeding within 30 minutes of exposure. The novel mode of action in Fulfill has a direct effect on aphids’ nervous systems, resulting in disruption of feeding behavior. It’s important to remember that, although aphids will remain alive and mobile for a few days after exposure, plant damage and virus transmission haults because the aphid has stopped feeding. Fulfill targets buckthorn aphids, green peach aphids, melon aphids, and potato aphids and shows 14-21 days of residual activity on these species. Aphid Application Recommendations: - Apply before populations build to damaging levels to ensure reduction in virus transmission - Use a penetrating surfactant - Make two sequential applications at 2.75 oz/A as soon as aphids are detected - Second application should be a minimum of 7 days after the first

For more information visit adama.com Introducing a new rate for effective psyllid control in potatoes! Recent university & independent research studies support effective activity at the new 2(ee) rate of Fulfill in most states of 3.25 oz. This rate still provides the same benefits of psyllid control and reduction in transmission of profit-reducing diseases like zebra chip. Psyllid Application Recommendations: - Apply before populations build to damaging levels to ensure reduction in virus transmission - Use a penetrating surfactant - Make two sequential applications at 3.25 oz/A as soon as psyllids are detected - Second application should be a minimum of 7 days after the first
Premier Benefits • Excellent systemic activity, protecting both existing foliage AND new growth • 2+ weeks residual control • Novel mode of action with no shown resistance in North America • 2+ weeks residual control • Soft on Beneficials

MASTERCOP® MAXIMUM CONTROL, MINIMUM ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Mastercop—the only true copper fungicide/bactericide solution with BioRetain™ technology — exhibits maximum control with minimal environmental impact.
What is BioRetain? BioRetain is a next-generation formulation technology that delivers a smaller copper particle size with immediate bio-availability. This means better spray coverage with uniform & quick distribution of copper ions as well as an improved uptake system, including enhanced leaf adhesion, penetration, bio-availability, and retention within the leaf cuticle. With broad-spectrum protection and multisite activity, it is ideal for Integrated Pest Management programs. With less % metallic copper than traditional coppers, Mastercop also complies with new proposed EPA maximum copper application rules.
Premier Benefits • Better coverage per spray • Uniform & quick distribution of copper • Improved uptake system
Use Mastercop to AVOID hassles like:
• Enhanced leaf adhesion, retention & residual activity
• Clogging nozzles & filters
• Superior crop safety
• A face full of dust when mixing
• Excellent tank partner
• Settling in the tank, creating sludge • Phytotoxicity • Coating & staining fruit & leaves
