Bayer CropScience AG
The registration of Movento® in Australia is a further milestone in its global commercialization. Since the product was first launched in 2008 in the United States, Canada and Austria, Bayer CropScience has succeeded in gaining access to other key markets such as China, Colombia, Mexico, Tunisia, Turkey and New Zealand. Further market launches are planned this year in Argentina, Chile and the Netherlands. Spirotetramat was recently granted regulatory approval in the UK, where it is planned to launch Movento® for use on lettuce and brassicas in 2010. Movento® is scheduled to be marketed in more than 70 countries in total.
Spirotetramat, a substance from the chemical class of ketoenols, has a broad spectrum of action and is effective against a wide range of sucking insects such as aphids, psyllids, scales (armored and soft), mealy bugs, whiteflies and some thrips species as well as the mango leafhopper. Spirotetramat can also be used in numerous major arable crops such as cotton, soy and potatoes.
