Abstract: Clarke's Natular NXG is the next generation of multi-brood Spinosad-based larvicide technology, demonstrating Clarke's commitment to product stewardship and continuous improvement in response to evolving customer needs. Building on Natular G30's proven performance, Natular NXG addresses critical operational challenges identified by vector control professionals.
Key formulation enhancements optimize physical characteristics and use attributes: a larger granule size with more uniform distribution that improves application consistency; enhanced granule shape to increase surface area contact; improved visibility for post-application verification; minimal dust for operator safety and comfort; and advanced moisture resistance that prevents clumping in humid field conditions - a persistent challenge in subtropical and tropical deployment environments.
Field evaluations confirm that physical improvements maintain essential performance features: quick kill, 42-day multi-brood control, OMRI certification, and pre-flood application capability against key mosquito species.
This session will explore engineering innovations behind NXG, comparative performance data, and real-world deployment strategies. Attendees will examine use cases from vector control districts across diverse US regions, demonstrating how formulation improvements translate to operational efficiency without compromising proven efficacy standards.
