ISHS Acta Horticulturae 352: VI International Symposium on Rubus and Ribes

RUFASTR 15 EC - A NEW ACARICIDE ON RIBES AND RUBUS AGAINST TETRANYCHUS URTICAE AND OTHER IMPORTANT PESTS

Author:   G. Bechmann
Abstract:
RUFASTR (common name: Acrinathrine) is a pure stereoisomer discovered by Roussel Uclaf. This Nor-Pyrethric presents an original chemical structure.

It acts by contact and ingestion, and shows remarkable miticidal properties especially against Tetranichidae. Moreover, these properties are complemented by an excellent insecticidal effect.

No phytotoxicity on ribes and rubus and very low mamalian toxicity have been found, and this indicates, that RUFASTR will be an outstanding compound for future use on ribes and rubus.
