Notes:
Delegate 25WG (spinetoram; EPA Reg. No. 62719-541) is a spinosyn insecticide (Group 5) for control of codling moth, oriental fruit moth, leafrollers, pear psylla and cherry fruit fly by ingestion and contact. The label also lists suppression of plum curculio and apple maggot. It has a greater spectrum of activity than SpinTor, with greater efficacy, residual life and weathering capacity. It is effective out to 21 days. This product contains the active ingredient spinetoram, which is a new member of the spinosyn class of insecticides; this class also includes spinosad, the a.i. in Spintor and Entrust. It is derived from the fermentation of a naturally occurring soil bacterium, Saccharopolyspora spinosa. Spinetoram is derived from different spinosyn components that have been chemically modified to give it improved insecticidal activity and greater photostability than spinosad. In the control of CM, Delegate exhibits residual efficacy equivalent to that of azinphosmethyl. However, it is classified as a Reduced Risk pesticide, and its environmental profile and fate are similar to those of Spintor. Residues aged for 3 hr are practically nontoxic to honey bees, and it exhibits a low impact on key beneficial arthropods. Delegate has been found to be toxic to predatory mites and parasitoids in acute laboratory tests, but under field conditions, any effects on beneficial species are slight and transitory.
