VASCM: Movento

[Jennifer Robinson]

I am treating a mealybug problem with a new-ish product called Movento.   See http://www.bayercropscience.us/products/insecticides/movento/

My PCA tells me the vineyards he knows that used Movento last year are now free of the disgusting pest.  It's also effective for other sucking insects, and does not harm beneficials.   It's getting on optimal time for treatment cause the critters are coming out from under the bark and migrating to leaves and berries. 

Movento application rates are low and it comes in a one gallon container, which is enough to treat 16 acres, but costs a bit over $800.  I need less than half a gallon.   

If anyone wants to buy some off me, please give me a call  831 331-5354 or send email jrobin.au at gmail.com.  Email is simpler, as I'm an idiot with my voice mail.  I'm happy to sell my surplus at cost.  I can also sell it with some Vintre . . . if people saw the Oro-agri presentation, which covered using Vintre+Movento for mealybug control.

p.s. If anyone wants a net-spreader for a 3 point hitch, I've got one in surplus that I'd be happy to barter or sell.
