en.Wedoany.com Reported - Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) has approved the sale and use of the insecticide Spidoxamat active ingredient and several formulated products.

Among them, Spidoxamat Technical Insecticide, Velancor, and Plenexos Care contain the active ingredient spidoxamat; Plenexos Smart contains the active ingredients spidoxamat and flupyradifurone. These products are used to control pests listed on the label on pome fruit, stone fruit, small vine fruit (excluding kiwifruit), and nuts (excluding almonds).

Spidoxamat is a novel insecticide developed by Bayer CropScience, featuring a structure combining spirocyclic ketoenol and tetramic acid. It interferes with insect growth and development by inhibiting acetyl-CoA carboxylase (a key enzyme in the first step of lipid biosynthesis), ultimately leading to insect death. It is primarily used to control aphids, mealybugs, and scale insects.

This insecticide is effective in controlling agricultural pests whether applied to crops as a foliar spray or to soil via chemigation. Velancor is applied via chemigation, reducing non-target organisms' contact with the pesticide and can be used before flowering; Plenexos Care and Plenexos Smart are foliar spray products used for pest control on various agricultural tree fruit crops.
