Sussex
Mealybugs and other Hemipteran pests including leafhoppers, planthoppers, and scales don’t stand a chance against Sussex™ Insect Growth Regulator. Why? Equivalent to Applaud®, Sussex™ inhibits chitin biosynthesis, suppresses oviposition of adults, and reduces the viability of eggs and is a perfect fit for resistance management spray programs. Trials and constant observation of the effectiveness of Sussex over a number of years in testing and in commercial use, has shown proven performance, flexible and reliable insect control, long residual protection and the product does not flare mites.
