What the experts are saying about Steward® and the importance of protecting beneficials*.
Chris Sansone
Extension entomologist, San Angelo, TX
"If we can avoid spraying for secondary pests, such as aphids, that's a big advantage to us.... Steward® provides good control at the .09 lb. ai per acre rate without flaring secondary pests."
Dr. Charles Allen
Extension entomologst, Southeast research and extension center, Monticello, AR
"Steward® is just about the most exciting new product I've seen in recent years...We tested it in small plots last year and saw exceptionally strong activity… Steward®- treated plots had higher yields than anything else we tested, we saw some worms in the crop after applying Steward®, but when it came time to pick cotton, there was more cotton in the Steward® plot. Some of the plots yielded 150-200 lb. more lint."
Dr. Glynn Tillman
Research entomologist, USDA, ARS, Tifton, GA
"Steward® looks very promising as a material that can be used early in the season without harming beneficial insects, such as lacewings, big-eyed bugs, and other key natural enemies of major cotton insect pests."
Jim Leser
Extension entomologist, Texas A&M research and extension center, Lubbock, TX
"The product is easy on beneficials and doesn't directly flare aphids. It will give growers a good alternative to using pyrethroids."
David Marsden
Global Field Optimization Coordinator: Insecticides, Herbicides and Fungicides
"In multiple laboratory and field trials carried out around the globe by DuPont staff and University scientists, Steward® has provided consistent excellent control of beet armyworm larvae. This outstanding control of beet armyworms has been present in all worm populations including those resistant to Pyrethroids, Organophosphates or Carbamates. Steward® provides cotton farmers with a reliable new generation of active insecticide for their Lepidoptera pests."
