Loopex (Greenhouse)& Loopex FC (Field)
Loopex is an insecticidal virus for the control of cabbage looper (Trichoplusia ni) on vegetables. It kills the larvae by ingestion and has an additional long-term effect on pest population reduction. Loopex is a valuable resistance management tool that can be included in any integrated pest management program (IPM), especially for the control of insecticide resistant populations.
Benetifs
​
-
While Loopex effectively infects and kills young larvae of Trichoplusia ni, the virus is also lethal for older larval instars in the long term.
-
AcNPV is a naturally occurring insecticidal virus and is harmless to beneficial insects, bees and other non-target organisms.
-
Loopex offers more flexibility for the crop producers. The active substance is not included in the residue tolerance lists for crops grown for export.
-
AcNPV offers a different mode of action, which can be an important mean to avoid and/or break resistances.
-
Loopex is compatible with most common pest control products and can be utilized in an integrated program as an additional mode of action for resistance management.
