Congratulations!

Belchim Crop Protection USA congratulates Dr. Mo Way on this well deserved recognition: The Rice Lifetime Achievement Award.

Prior to 2010, Dr. Way led the university campaign lobbying an EPA Section 18 for Tenchu® 20SG (dinotefuran) for pyrethroid resistant rice stink bugs in Texas. “The Sec. 18 process requires an extreme amount of time and dedication from the university sponsor. Thanks to e orts from experts like Mo Way, Sec. 18’s were granted, and growers were able to protect the rice crop with fewer applications while applying an insecticide with minimal o -target e ect on aquatic organisms like crawfi sh,” states Dennis Long, National Technical Service & Development Manager for Belchim.

Tenchu® 20SG was registered and has been a key insecticide resistance management (IRM) tool in Texas for a number of years now. Consultant reports of control failures and some university bioassay results in other states tend to indicate a shift in pyrethroid susceptibility. To help spread the educational message of an alternative mode of action, Dr. Way joined Dennis in hosting an educational luncheon at Louisiana Agricultural Technology and Management Conference (LATMC) last year. He didn’t hesitate a second to commit to driving over 4 hours and spent time sharing his experiences with pyrethroid resistance and using Tenchu® 20SG as an IRM tool.

Long continues; “Belchim is thrilled to see that Dr. Way is being awarded for his life long dedication to the Rice Market. I have seen so much passion in him over the years; how can you not be in awe of his selfl ess commitment?”
