Pylon® now labeled for thrips on ornamentals, vegetables

Most growers will tell you that thrips are among the most difficult-to-control pests they fight each year. There is no silver bullet for thrips control but there are many products labeled for thrips that, when used as part of a rotational strategy, can help. (Refer to our “Thrips Cocktail” for a complete product listing.)

A new option for thrips control is our Pylon insecticide/miticide. Growers have used Pylon with success on a broad variety of mites for several years. Now, we have added thrips to the Pylon label, giving growers another option in the never-ending battle. With active ingredient chlorfenapyr, Pylon is effective against both larva and adult stages of thrips. Pylon may be used on both ornamentals and greenhouse vegetables grown in greenhouses. Pylon, with a 12-hour REI and Caution signal word, may be applied up to the day of harvest on greenhouse-grown fruiting vegetables. Consult the label for rate information.
