Both Spinosad and Spinetoram belong to Multibactericidal insecticides ,and belong to a green antibiotic pesticide extracted from bacteria.
Spinetoram is a new type of substance which is artificial synthesized by Spinosad .
Different insecticidal effect :
Because Spinosad has been on the market for a long time , even though it has good effect on the control of many insects on vegetables,
especially for thrips and bollworm , some insects already occurred resistance because of the long time usage .
On the other hand , as Spinetoram still during patent period , the killing effect is more strong than Spinosad .
So far the resistance is not obvious .
Precautions for use :
1)While using Spinosad to control the thrips and other insects on vegetables , the knockdown rate is relatively slow.
Therefore it is more effect and much better if mix with another formulation ,such as Chlorfenapyr ,Emamectin benzoate ,
Acetamiprid and Bifenthrin .The killing effect and knockdown rate will be double improved .
2)Keep application time in control .While using Spinosad to control insects , it is better and more effect to apply while
the insects during larvae or younger stage . If wait until the insects grow stronger , it will be harder to control .
3)Even though Spinetoram has very strong killing effect , it also easily to occur resistance ,
therefore it is better not keep use single formulation repeatedly .
