Bayer CropScience is proud to introduce Oberon to strawberry and vegetable growers in Canada. Oberon is from a new class of chemistry (spiromesifen – group 23) and controls two-spotted spider mite at all stages in strawberries.
When left uncontrolled, mite populations rapidly exceed threshold levels and cause visible foliage damage, bronzing on upper leaf surfaces, purplish and distorted leaves, brown to dry foliage, reduced flowering and stunted plants. Heavy infestations during the fruiting season may result in direct feeding on the fruits, causing fruit russeting. Heavily infested strawberry plants may die prematurely.
Oberon has effective residual activity on all pest life stages and is soft on beneficials. It is rainfast as soon as the leaf surface is dry and is very stable in sunlight. It’s available in a convenient 2 L jug as a liquid flowable formulation.
