Why Growers Should Choose Midac 4

  • Unmatched Compatibility: The only imidacloprid insecticide for sugarbeets that mixes smoothly with liquid fertilizers, micronutrients, and other crop inputs – like Vive’s AZteroid® FC 3.3 fungicide – saving time and simplifying planting applications.
  • Broad-Spectrum Pest Control: Provides long-lasting control against sugarbeet root maggot as well as aphids, flea beetles, leafhoppers, and whiteflies.
  • Easier Handling: Offers a more user-friendly and economical solution compared to granular alternatives like Counter® 20G.

“For years, growers were forced to choose between applying liquid fertilizers at planting or protecting their crop with imidacloprid,” said Steve Eskelsen, Northwest Technical Sales Agronomist at Vive. “We’re excited to introduce this unique imidacloprid product that eliminates that compromise for North Dakota sugarbeet growers.”

Midac 4 is approved under a North Dakota SLN 24(c) registration, effective immediately and valid through December 31, 2030.
