Lucid™ Insecticide/Miticide joins the
Phoenix Environmental Care LLC product line
Valdosta, GA—
Lucid™ 0.15 EC Insecticide/Miticide is the latest product to become a
part of the growing line from Phoenix Environmental Care LLC.
“Lucid offers
control of several insects in greenhouse ornamentals, nursery crops and
landscape plants,” says Owen Towne, Phoenix Environmental Care LLC President.
“Lucid is a 0.15 lb. emulsifiable concentrate. The active ingredient,
abamectin, has a unique mode of action that is
highly effective against a wide range of plant-damaging mites and certain
leaf-feeding beetles and worms, leafminers, psyllids and thrips. The unique
mode of action means that Lucid is also well suited for resistance management
programs.”
Lucid, which will be offered in quart-sized
containers, is formulated to provide maximum leaf uptake for longer residual
control.
The product is rainfast, odorless, formulated for easy
application with standard equipment, and leaves no unsightly residue on plants.
“Abamectin
is based on a natural fermentation product of the bacterium Streptomyces
avermitilis, first discovered near a golf course in Japan,” says Towne.
“Within hours of
exposure to abamectin, insects quit feeding and damaging the plant, so the
benefits are almost immediate.
Phoenix
Environmental Care LLC specializes in turf, nursery, ornamental and aquatic
products. Lucid is a trademark of Rotam USA. Always read and follow label
directions.
