The presentation from Florida Food Products Inc. introduces INVITE EC, a product designed to control corn rootworms. INVITE EC, developed in collaboration with the USDA, uses cucurbitacin, a naturally occurring compound in bitter melons, to attract and control these pests. The product’s efficacy was demonstrated through extensive research, including field trials and studies of insect behavior. INVITE EC offers a novel approach to pest management by exploiting the natural feeding habits of corn rootworms, providing a potentially more sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional insecticides.
