Why Insect Resistance Management (IRM)?Insects work hard at maintaining their livelihood in your crops. You work harder to keep them out of your crops. It can be easy to spray for pests using the same product with which you're familiar, but repeated insect control applications often lead to resistance, making it important to take time to develop an Insect Resistance Management (IRM) program. Building a resistant population is the initial step for insects. It's easy for them because they use natural selection where some insects in a population have a resistance to a pesticide or chemical family, while others are highly susceptible. The surviving individuals then reproduce and create larger and larger populations of resistant insects. To save you time, energy and money, make your IRM program diverse. Use pest control practices that include synthetic insecticides, biological insecticides, beneficial insects, cultural practices, transgenic plants and crop rotation. Adding SpinTor® 2SC Naturalyte® insect control and Intrepid® 2F insecticide as part of your IRM program adds diversity to your portfolio, while keeping pests worried about what tomorrow brings. The bottom line is yours, and we've assembled this Web site to help you learn more about the products available for you to include in your IRM program.
