he insecticide you have
trusted for years to protect
your pome and stone fruits
now has a new branded name
for its distinct active ingredient,
spinetoram.
Delegate® WG insecticide is
now Delegate WG insecticide with
Jemvelva™ active (pronounced
gem-VEL-vuh).
What hasn't changed is the
effectiveness you've come to
rely on with Delegate to protect
a broad range of crops from
lepidopterous larvae, leafminers,
thrips and some psyllids.
Targeting pests by contact
and ingestion, Delegate quickly
knocks down insect pests,
potentially reducing in-season
insecticide applications.
The active ingredient in
Delegate, spinetoram, stands
alone in a chemical class (Group 5).
Delegate does not show crossresistance
to other classes of
chemistry, making it essential to
resistance management.
That active ingredient, now
known as Jemvelva active, is a
Green Chemistry Challenge Award
winner. The honor recognizes
novel solutions that incorporate
the principles of green chemistry
into chemical design, manufacture
and use.
The new global branding by
Corteva Agriscience illustrates the
connection between Jemvelva
and nature. Specifically, Jemvelva
was inspired by the words, " gem, "
" velvet " and " elevated " - " gem "
for polished, crafted and perfected,
" velvet " for soft gentle on the
environment and " elevated " for
transformed and refined.
" Farmers can trust that our
insecticides with Jemvelva active,
including Delegate WG insecticide,
continue to be field-tested solutions
that are the product of Corteva
Agriscience's exceptional research
and development team, " says
Protect your crop's potential with Delegate.
Nathan Alonso, Insecticides Product
Manager, Corteva Agriscience.
Rotating modes of action
remains crucial to effective insect
pest control. It reduces the chances
resistance develops and extends
the efficacy of each mode of action
over the long term.
Delegate offers growers an ideal
rotation tool in season-long insect
management programs. Delegate
has a novel mode of action for fast
knockdown and lasting control
of destructive pests, including
Oriental fruit moth, leafminers,
leafrollers, thrips and spotted
wing drosophila.
Delegate also has a short fourhour
reentry interval and is easy on
beneficial insects. When applied
according to the label, Delegate
does not significantly disrupt or harm
beneficials, including lady beetles or
lacewings, and does not flare mites.

Delegate can play in your farm's
