ISM-555 Crop Safety – 2021

Research Summary Abstract

ISM-555 is a new insecticide being developed by Syngenta for management of scale, mealybugs, thrips, beetles and other pests on environmental horticulture crops. The IR-4 Project completed 22 crop safety trials on 16 environmental horticulture plant species or genera during 2018 to 2021. In these trials, all 12 species or genera exhibited minimal or no injury. Three species (Impatiens walleriana, Petunia x hybrida, and Tagetes erecta) exhibited minimal or no injury in at least 3 trials and 9 additional species or genera exhibited minimal or no injury in the limited number of trials (one or two) for each crop.
