OHP introduces Shuttle® O miticide to ornamental market

The OHP new product train keeps chugging down the tracks. The latest product to come aboard is Shuttle O, a high-quality miticide for control of several key mite species. Shuttle O came to OHP through a marketing partnership signed in July, 2008, with Arysta LifeScience. “We are excited to be adding yet another quality miticide to our portfolio of products,” notes OHP Vice President and General Manager Terry Higgins.

“With the addition of Shuttle O to our line which already includes Floramite®, Pylon®, Judo™, and Triact®,we are by far the market leader in the mite control segment.” Shuttle O features several key features that fit well into an IPM program, including two-tothree day knockdown, Reduced Risk classification, activity on all life stages, long residual control, and a unique mode of action.

In addition, Shuttle O is soft on predator mites and beneficial insects. “With its many unique features, Shuttle O is a miticide for the future,” says Dan Stahl, OHP vice president of marketing and business development. “The product fits nicely into any sustainable approach to pest control.” Shuttle O is effective on a wide range of mite species including two spotted spider mites, spruce spider mites, citrus red mites, European red mites, Pacific spider mites, and several others. Shuttle O, with active ingredient acequinocyl, is the only member of Mode of Action (MOA) group #20B (electron transport inhibitors), which makes the product a great addition to any mite control rotational strategies.

Labeled for use both indoors and outdoors, Shuttle O has been tested on many plant species and has been shown to be safe on even tender plant material. Shuttle O is a suspension concentrate (SC) formulation and carries a 12-hour Restricted Entry Interval (REI) and a Caution signal word.
