- Remember that this is ONLY for application to non-cruiser-treated crops.
- Authorisation is as the third insecticide spray in your programme. Use only after Tepekki/Afinto and Insyst have been applied to crops.
- Any aphicide should only be used if the aphid thresholds have been breached.
A summary of some of the key information relating to the EA
This Emergency authorisation relates to the use of ‘Movento’ (MAPP 18435) for the control of peach potato aphid (Myzus persicae) to prevent virus yellows infection.
Applications to be made via horizontal boom sprayer in water volumes of 300 to 600 litres water per hectare. ‘Movento’ should be applied at the recommended rate of use and in sufficient water volume to achieve the required spray penetration into the crop and uniform coverage necessary for optimal pest control.

What is Movento?
An oil dispersion formulation containing 150 g/L (15.94% w/w) spirotetramat. It is a ketoenol systemic insecticide which works by inhibition of lipid biosynthesis to control sucking pests.
Due to the mode of action, rapid knockdown of pests should not be expected. Obvious control usually occurs after 3–7 days and is dependent upon pest stage, with youngest larvae being most susceptible and adults least susceptible.
It is systemic and the active ingredient spirotetramat is translocated to growing points and is able to reach hidden aphids in heart leaves and on roots. However, it is important to note that there is little movement from new leaves to older leaves, so good spray cover on older leaves will be particularly important.
