ABSTRACT

Oberon^® 2 SC (Code name: BSN 2060) is a new insecticide – acaricide that is being developed by Bayer CropScience for foliar application in annual crops against all important whitefly and mite species. Oberon belongs to a new chemical class named Ketoenols and it is a contact insecticide - acaricide that is active against all mite development stages. However, mite juvenile stages are often more susceptible than adults. Oberon is also highly effective against whitefly nymphs, plus it has a significant effect on the otherwise difficult to control pupal stage.
