    World Agrochemical Network Chinese Network reported: Recently, Formic announced the launch of Verimark, an insecticide based on cyanofenamide bromide in Brazil, to control major sugarcane pests
    such as small cane borer (Diatraea saccharalis), sugarcane cicada (Mahanarva fimbriolata) and sugarcane weevil (Sphenophorus levis).
     
    Verimark is different from insecticides
    such as acetonitrile, thiamethoxam, furoxamide and pyripropyl ether because it has a protective effect against other beneficial insects in the sugar cane field and does not adversely affect the natural enemies of the pests.
     
    Brazil is a world leader in the production of sugarcane and its by-products and is the world's largest exporter of
    sugar products.
    Sugar cane is cultivated in Brazil on an area of about 9 million hectares, with branches in the northeastern, southeastern and central western regions of
    Brazil.
    According to ConAB (Brazil's National Commodity Supply Company), Brazil's sugarcane production in 2022-2023 is expected to be 572.
    87 million tons
    .
     
    "Currently, the sugarcane cicada (Mahanarva fimbriolata) is one of
    the main pests affecting sugarcane quality and producer profitability.
    Now, with Verimark, Formic offers an innovative solution for pest control, making it a specialty product with residue protection," commented
    Christian Menegatti, Formic Sugarcane Cultivation Manager.
     
    Formeri's new solution has a completely different mode
    of action than existing pesticides on the market.
     
    "Verimark, with its innovative mode of action, effectively controls three important pests of sugarcane crops
    .
    At the same time, it has a protective effect on insects, the natural enemies of these pests, which helps to balance the insect community ecology", explains
    Maurício Oliveira, Regional Marketing Manager of Cana & especalidades.
     
    When managing crops, farmers need to determine the occurrence of leafhoppers and then conduct a population survey
    of the area.
    Formic recommends using Verimark
    in the early stages of pest infestation, which usually occurs early in the rainy season.
     
    According to Formic, this new tool to control the sugar cane cicada (Mahanarva fimbriolata) could be an important alternative to
    the problem of resistance in existing technological products on the market.
