Cormoran®

Product Overview• Cormoran® is a unique insecticide combination

for the targeted control of the key pests of Pome fruit and Stone fruit and will be a key partner in rotation with alternative chemistry for resistance management to ensure sustainable production

• Cormoran provides rapid knockdown and residual control of key chewing insects including Codling Moth and Lightbrown Apple Moth whilst also preventing damage by sucking pests such as Plague Thrips, Longtailed Mealybug and Apple Dimpling Bug in Apples

• In Stone Fruit Cormoran provides rapid knockdown and residual control of Black peach aphid, Green peach aphid, Light Brown Apple Moth, Oriental Fruit Moth, San Jose Scale and Suppression of Queensland Fruit Fly and Mediterranean fruit fly.

Mode of Action

Novaluron is an Insect Growth Regulator (Group 15) that inhibits chitin biosynthesis and results in abnormal cuticle formation and abortive moulting. Its effects are slow to appear but irreversible. Novaluron acts primarily through ingestion by the target insect with some contact and ovicidal activity which allows for extended residual control.Acetamiprid is a member of the Neonicotinoid (Group 4A) insecticide family and interferes with neurotransmission in target insects causing feeding to cease within hours or even minutes and achieves mortality within 24-48 hours. Acetamiprid acts through both ingestion and direct contact with insects and some translaminar movement within plant tissue.Both active ingredients have a low impact on most beneficial insects and predatory mites including Typhlodromus occidentalis.

Features and Benefits

Cormoran Application • In Apples Cormoran can be applied once per

season up to 70 days prior to harvest for Codling Moth or Light Brown Apple Moth (LBAM). Cormoran should be applied to target the first generation only in applesa

• In Pears Cormoran can be applied twice per season up to 35 days prior to harvest, and targeted against multiple generations of Codling Moth and/or Light Brown Apple Moth

• In Stone Fruit Cormoran can be applied twice per season up to 7 days prior to harvest, and targeted against multiple generations of Light Brown Apple Moth and Oriental Fruit Moth.

Resistance ManagementCormoran should be used in a strategic spray program in conjunction with insecticides from alternative mode of action groups. The unique mode of action of Cormoran will play an important role in reducing the reliance on other insecticides. Group 28 insecticides such as Altacor* have proven very effective in recent years, however, resistance development may occur if subjected to overuse.
