Notes

Notes:
This product is an insect growth regulator registered in pome and stone fruits for the control of the nymphal stages of San Jose scale, mealybugs, leafhoppers and pear psylla. It works by inhibiting chitin biosynthesis, suppressing oviposition by adults, and reducing viability of eggs. Treated susceptible pests may remain alive on the plant for 3-7 days, but feeding damage during this time is typically very low. It is not disruptive to beneficial insects and mites, and has a low bee poisoning hazard. Not registered for use in Nassau or Suffolk Counties.
