Introducing Vayego^® 200 SC Insecticide

“Vayego provides excellent efficacy against a range of key pests such as codling moth, light brown apple moth, oriental fruit moth, carpophilus beetle, garden weevil, Fuller’s rose weevil, apple weevil, sigastus weevil and Mediterranean fruit fly.  Vayego offers a new versatile option for growers to incorporate into their seasonal pest management program” says Troy Mulcahy, Market Development Agronomist for Bayer.

Vayego 200 SC is a liquid formulation containing the active ingredient tetraniliprole, a Group 28 Diamide insecticide which is a new active ingredient available to growers in Australia. 

With over 4000 trials performed globally, as well as a rigorous trial program in Australia, Vayego has demonstrated excellent efficacy across the moth, beetle, weevil and fly species targeted. These trials have shown that Vayego has some attractive properties that contribute to its versatility and strength in performance. One of which is the fact that it is active on all life stages of lepidopteran pests such as codling moth, from eggs through to adults. While the main control comes from larval ingestion, eggs can also be affected if laid on treated leaves and fruit, or, if they have already been laid, and then treated with Vayego. 

Rapid feeding cessation is also a feature.  In the case of codling moths the larvae lose muscle control, become immobile, and cease feeding almost immediately after ingestion, giving the benefit of less damaged fruit. Vayego is also locally systemic which ensures distribution throughout the leaf, helping to maximise protection.
