Notes

Notes:
Indoxacarb (Avaunt) is a broad-spectrum oxadiazine labeled in apples and pears against plum curculio, apple maggot, and European apple sawfly, with some activity also on Lepidoptera such as codling moth, oriental fruit moth and leafminers, as well as leafhoppers. The active ingredient is activated by the insect to an insecticidal form only upon ingestion or absorption through the cuticle, after which it causes paralysis by interference with the sodium flow into nerve cells. It has generally slight to no effects on beneficial insects and mites, but is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment and relatively non-toxic when dried. It is therefore categorized as having a moderate bee poisoning hazard.
