• Minecto™ Pro insecticide: Will provide broad-spectrum control of insects in onions and potatoes, including thrips, Colorado potato beetles, aphids and potato psyllids, all issues in the Columbia Basin, as well as mites, whiteflies and leafminers. Targeted registration for use in vegetables, potatoes and onions, among other crops, is anticipated in early 2017.
