Overture has a novel mode of action that will help growers in the fight against tough-to-control western flower thrips, the single-most damaging pest in California greenhouse ornamentals. Overture is an excellent resistance management tool and rotation partner for Conserve SC. Overture is also soft on most beneficial insects.

Overture works preventively or curatively to kill adult and immature thrips, and it also controls defoliating larvae of many lepidopterous pests. Overture can be used on greenhouse-grown ornamentals, including flowering and foliage crops, groundcovers, shrubs and ornamental trees and non-bearing fruit and nut trees.

“The single biggest thing about this registration is it offers California growers a novel mode of action for their resistance management programs,” says Todd Mayhew, regional field development manager for Valent. “Overture also controls Conserve-resistant western flower thrips.”

“Western flower thrips are a bigger issue in California than anywhere else in the country,” says Joe Chamberlin, regional field development manager for Valent. “Growers in California have been anxiously awaiting the registration of Overture because they need new chemistry, and we’re excited that we can now offer them a new tool for control of this destructive pest.”
