Three Ways NipsIt Protects

3

Your lettuce seed comes complete with an effective insecticide that protects your seedlings from sucking and chewing insects such as leaf miner (from planting to thinning) and aphids (from planting to mid-season).

1. Simplicity

Protection of tender seedlings against leaf miner (suppression) damage means a more robust and healthier plant throughout the season.

2. Vigorous growth

Seedlings are protected from insects, enhancing uniformity and providing production efficiencies through harvest.

3. Season-long productivity

NipsIt provides growers with seed-applied protection against a number of common pests.

  • Leaf miner (suppression)

    Red lettuce aphid

    Green peach aphid

    Foxglove aphid

  • Bagrada Bug

  • Onion Maggot

    Seedcorn Maggot

    Thrips

Halo Effect

NipsIt trials have demonstrated a halo effect in the cotyledon stage. This effect does not last beyond the growth of the plants’ first true leaves.

  • Used in conjunction with a seed pellet, Gowan SeedTech now offers NipsIt for Head and leaf lettuce varieties only. NipsIt is not available for any variety of baby leaf lettuce.

  • NipsIt Vegetable provides lettuce growers with a seed-applied solution for protection against leaf miner (suppression), red lettuce aphid and green peach aphid in full season lettuce.

  • At this time, Gowan SeedTech has not tested nor confirmed if NipsIt is compatible with other fungicide treatments. Should a customer wish to incorporate other agrochemical treatments with NipsIt, the customer will be required to sign a Customer Order Release Form agreeing to release Gowan SeedTech from any and all liabilities and claims related to the order.

  • NipsIt lettuce trials have experienced lettuce plants showing signs of a halo effect at the seedling stage. The halo symptoms were no longer present once the plants grew their first true leaves. Gowan SeedTech recommends that you monitor your crops after planting.

  • Currently, NipsIt Vegetables is only approved for application on lettuce and broccoli in California, Arizona, Nebraska and Washington. NipsIt Vegetables is available for use in all states, based on free movement of seed regulations. NipsIt Inside is a separately registered product and used on field crops in the United States.

  • No, it is not approved for use in Mexico or Canada.
