FMC Launches Hero Insecticide for Cotton

Hero insecticide from FMC Corporation is now labeled for use in cotton. FMC says growers can trust Hero for enhanced late-season control of a broad spectrum of insects and mites, helping to maximize cotton yields and overall profits this season.

Hero is registered for control of a wide range of pests, including mites, aphids, Japanese beetles, tarnished plant bugs, brown stink bugs and heliothis species.

Hero features a unique, dual-action technology for more complete, late-season control of a more broad spectrum of cotton pests. The unique formulation delivers faster knockdown and longer-lasting residual control of tough insects. In addition, the application flexibility of Hero makes it an important tool in an overall insecticide resistance management program in cotton.

“Hero is the new-generation insecticide to help cotton growers minimize insect pressure and protect their cotton acres to increase overall potential yields and profits.” says Adam Prestegord, Hero product manager for FMC. “The faster-acting formula and longer-lasting residual control provides a one-two punch against key cotton pests, including heliothis species, for healthier plant fruit and improved cotton stands each season.”
