Marshal is a broad-spectrum insecticide that is used to control a wide range of insect pests on a variety of crops, including vegetables, fruits, and ornamentals. It contains the active ingredient carbosulfan, which is a carbamate insecticide. Carbamate insecticides work by inhibiting the cholinesterase enzyme, which leads to paralysis and death of the insect.

Marshal is applied as a foliar spray and is typically applied early in the growing season, but can be applied at any time during the growing season, as long as the pests are actively growing. Marshal is effective against a wide range of insect pests, including:

  • Lepidopterans (caterpillars)
  • Coleopterans (beetles)
  • Hemipterans (aphids, whiteflies, leafhoppers)
  • Thysanopterans (thrips)
  • Nematodes (soil-borne pests)

Marshal is also effective against some sucking pests, such as the potato tuber moth and the tomato leafminer.

Advantages of using Marshal insecticide:

  • Effective against a wide range of insect pests
  • Broad-spectrum insecticide with a different mode of action than other insecticides, which reduces the risk of resistance
  • Long residual activity
  • Compatible with other pesticides
  • Relatively low toxicity to humans and other non-target organisms
