BASIN FLEX performance in a peptide-based insect control program

The active ingredient U1-AGTX-Ta1b-QA, being commercialized under the brand BASIN® by Vestaron Corporation, is a peptide-based biopesticide currently being reviewed by the EPA. BASIN® shows broad efficacy on lepidopteran larvae. Based on a naturally occurring peptide, BASIN® novelly modulates the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. When paired with Spear® products in the field, multiple peptide-based products offer the ability to have lepidopteran control program based on modes of action not yet encountered by current pest populations, helping mitigate the development of resistance, even to existing modes of action. Research results from field studies will be used to demonstrate the fit for peptide-based insecticides in a robust IPM program.
