Application rates and timing in corn
| PESTS CONTROLLED | RATES (fl oz/A) | APPLICATION TIMING AND INFORMATION |
| Two-spotted spider mite Banks grass mite |
Mid-season to late 36 fl oz/A OR 36-54 fl oz/A single application |
Apply a high-rate application to areas with high mite infestation and to areas which historically have had high mite infestations. At least 48 fl oz per acre should be used under conditions of severe mite pressure. Treat early. Best results are achieved when mite populations are low, before the mites have damaged the plants. Treatment is recommended when mite populations are just starting to build and corn is still small enough (usually 3-4 feet) to allow good coverage. Ensure application is made only when corn leaves are dry. This is especially true for white corn varieties, which are the most susceptible to plant injury. |
NOTES
> Ground Application: Apply in a minimum of 20 gallons total volume per acre.
> Aerial Application: Apply in a minimum of 3 gallons total volume per acre.
> Adjuvant Recommendation: V5 to V8 applications use non-petroleum-based adjuvants as recommended by the adjuvant manufacturer. V8 to VT applications use only vegetable-based oils (cottenseed, corn, soybean) with an emulsifier of 5% solution or less at a rate of 1-2 pints/100 gallons.
RESTRICTIONS
> A second application may be made as necessary if the corn was initially sprayed early; the minimal spray interval is 21 days. However, do not exceed 2.53 lbs (54 fl oz COMITE II) propargite a.i. per acre pre year.
> The restricted entry interval (REI) is 13 days. See AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS on label for general REI exemptions. There is no exception allowed for hand weeding.
> Pre-harvest interval: Do not harvest within 30 days of the last application. Similarly, the grazing or cutting for silage within 30 days after treatment is prohibited.
