- DISPERSIBLE CONCENTRATE
TRIVOR INSECTICIDE is a dual-active dispersible concentrate insecticide manufactured by ADAMA Australia, containing acetamiprid and pyriproxyfen. It is formulated to control key sap-sucking and chewing pests across major Australian horticultural crops, including citrus in Sunraysia and the Riverland, macadamias in the Northern Rivers, and tropical fruit crops like mangoes and avocados in districts such as Bundaberg and the Atherton Tableland.
By combining a systemic active with an insect growth regulator, TRIVOR fits strategically into integrated pest management (IPM) programmes where disrupting pest lifecycles across multiple life stages is critical. It provides effective knockdown and residual management of scale, mealybug, fruit fly, thrips, and fruit spotting bug in established orchard blocks and vineyards.

Withholding period
Harvest DO NOT HARVEST FOR 14 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION Grazing DO NOT GRAZE OR CUT TREATED AREA FOR STOCKFOOD CROPS FOR EXPORT Before using TRIVOR on crops destined for export it is essential to consult your exporter or ADAMA to ensure that an appropriate MRL is in place in the importing country.
TRIVOR has a harvest withholding period of 14 days across registered crops. A stockfood constraint prohibits grazing or cutting treated areas for stockfeed. For produce intended for export, growers must confirm target country Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) with their exporter or ADAMA prior to application.
Mode of action
TRIVOR contains two complementary active constituents from distinct chemical classes. Acetamiprid is a systemic neonicotinoid (IRAC Group 4A) that acts as a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor competitive modulator, disrupting the central nervous system of insects via contact and ingestion. Pyriproxyfen is a juvenile hormone mimic (IRAC Group 7C) acting as an insect growth regulator, which prevents nymphal development, suppresses egg hatch, and reduces adult fertility.
Resistance management
Because TRIVOR relies on Group 4A and Group 7C modes of action, integrated resistance management strategies must be maintained in the spray diary. Do not apply TRIVOR or other Group 4A or 7C insecticides continuously over consecutive pest generations. Rotate TRIVOR with effective products from different IRAC groups to suppress the development of resistant populations of scale, mealybug, and other key pests.
Tank-mix compatibility
Perform a physical jar test before mixing TRIVOR with other agricultural chemicals, adjuvant products, or foliar fertilisers. Exercise caution when tank-mixing dispersible concentrates with horticultural oils or when applying mixtures during periods of extreme heat, as crop foliage or fruit finish may be susceptible to phytotoxicity. Refer to the approved label for specific mixing procedures and compatibility restrictions.
Handling and environment
Operators should wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) as detailed on the registered product label during open mixing, loading, and application. Avoid spray drift onto non-target vegetation, aquatic ecosystems, and flowering plants where bees or beneficial predators may be foraging. Consult the approved APVMA label for complete handling, environmental precautionary statements, and worker safety requirements.
Common questions
- How does the dual-active formulation of TRIVOR assist in canopy pest management?
- The combination of systemic acetamiprid and insect growth regulator pyriproxyfen allows TRIVOR to target multiple life stages simultaneously. It delivers knockdown of feeding adults and nymphs while inhibiting egg viability and juvenile development.
- When managing scale or mealybug in orchard canopy trees, what application factors are critical?
- Scale and mealybugs often hide beneath dense foliage, bark, or fruit calyxes. Achieving thorough foliage and fruit canopy coverage is essential. Always calibrate application equipment according to label directions for the specific canopy volume.
- How should TRIVOR be rotated to prevent pest resistance?
- Rotate TRIVOR with insecticides belonging to MoA groups other than Group 4A and Group 7C. Avoid using TRIVOR across consecutive generations of the target pest within the same block season.
- What steps are required when applying TRIVOR to crops intended for export markets?
- Export markets may enforce different Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) or harvest intervals than Australian domestic standards. Consult your packing house, exporter, or ADAMA before application to verify trade compliance for the target country.
- How can I check if TRIVOR is compatible with a proposed tank-mix partner?
- Review the approved TRIVOR label for explicit tank-mix prohibitions and conduct a small jar test to verify physical compatibility prior to filling the spray tank.
