Registered against: armyworms, fungus gnat larvae, leafminers (leps), shore fly larvae, whiteflies (suppression)

For use in enclosed commercial structures such as greenhouses, shadehouses, and lathhouses only. Product works by disrupting normal molting processes of insect larvae. Apply as soil drench or coarse spray to soil surface for control of certain soil-inhabiting insects. Do not reuse potting media that has been treated with product. For optimum control when applying as a soil treatment, it is recommended that breeding areas under benches and other non-crop areas be treated at the same time as crop is treated. For control of certain foliar-feeding insects, apply as foliar spray. Do not apply to poinsettias, hibiscus, or Reiger begonia. When using as a foliar spray to control whitefly, use product in combination or in rotation with other effective insecticides. Do not apply to pots grown on capillary water mats. See label for specific rates and instructions.

Registered against: mites

For use on greenhouse ornamental, floral and foliage crops, indoor ornamental plantings and plantscapes. Apply as a foliar spray, and good coverage Is necessary. Product stops mite damage immediately after application and provides stop-feeding action together with a cessation of egg laying, and mites die in 4 to 7 days. Do not apply more than 48 fl oz of product per crop cycle or per growing season, whichever is longer. Do not apply product in successive miticide applications in the same greenhouse, allow at least 2 different chemicals with different modes of action to be used between treatments. See label for plant list, rates, and specific instructions.

Registered against: aphids, caterpillars, earwigs, lace bugs, leafhoppers, mealybugs, mites, plant bugs, sawflies, scale, thrips, whiteflies

For use on greenhouse and outdoor ornamentals. Kills by contact so complete coverage is essential. Do not use if plants are stressed, such as under hot, humid, or drought conditions. Use soft water for best results. Follow label directions to avoid phytotoxicity. Do not use on new transplants, unrooted cuttings, or plant material stressed by drought. Test Euphorbia for phytotoxicity before full-scale application. If wilting occurs on sprayed plants within a few hours, rinse with a clean water spray. Avoid application when leaf temperature exceeds 90°F. Mixing soap with other insecticides may increase effectiveness and retard the development of insecticide resistance. The resulting mixture may be more phytotoxic, however, so exercise caution. Potential for plant injury increases when this product is used and the pH of the final solution is lowered below 8.0.
