Delegate® WG and Radiant® SC Insecticides Bring Unique Mode of Action to IPM Programs

All existing insecticides can be divided into 30 groups, with each group representing a different mode of action. Rotating insecticides from different groups into a control program each year slows the development of resistance.

Delegate® WG and Radiant® SC insecticides are the only two Group 5 insecticides, meaning they have a mode of action unique from all other insecticides and make excellent rotation partners.
