New crops for ViVUS Gold
August, 2006
ViVUS Gold has, for a number of years, played an important role in Helicoverpa management in sorghum, sweet corn, chickpeas and lettuce. Extensive research by Ag Biotech has resulted in registration of ViVUS Gold in a wide variety of crops including cereal grains, pulses, oilseeds, potatoes, berryfruit, brassicas, cucurbits, leafy vegetables, legume vegetables, pome fruit, flowers and ornamental plants (refer to the label for the complete list of crops).
This exhaustive crop list means that many more growers now have access to the effective and selective protection of ViVUS Gold against Helicoverpa larvae. Other advantages of the product include nil impact on beneficial species and the environment, nil withholding period, high user safety and it is Australian made and owned.
New application methods for ViVUS Gold
August, 2006
Research and development by Ag Biotech has led to registration of ViVUS Gold for application in ultra-low volume (ULV) and via overhead irrigation water. These new use patterns provide growers with increased flexibility when applying ViVUS Gold.
ULV application offers growers and aerial operators the ability to treat large areas in a short period of time (such as during Helicoverpa outbreaks in sorghum). ULV application is also useful to improve coverage during hot, dry conditions, when application in water by air can result in evaporation and poor coverage.
Growers using overhead irrigation water can now apply ViVUS Gold to their crop by adding it to their overhead irrigation water, in much the same way that some fertilisers are used. This method ensures thorough coverage of the crop providing highly effective control of Helicoverpa larvae.
See the ViVUS Gold label for more details.
