Sites: Biobit HP II may be used for any labeled pest in both field and greenhouse use. Biobit HP II· is an insecticide for use against listed caterpillars (iarvae) of lepidopterous insects. Close scouting and early attention to infestations is highly recommended. Larva must eat deposits ofBiobit HP II to be affected. Always follow these directions:
Treat when larvae are young (early ins tars ) before the crop is damaged. Larvae must be actively feeding on treated, exposed plant surfaces. Thorough spray coverage is needed to provide a uniform deposit of Biobit HP II at the site of larval feeding. Use overhead and drop nozzles to obtain good spray coverage on both sides of foliage. Use sufficient spray volume to insure uniform deposition on all plant surfaces
Under heavy pest population pressure, use tbehigher label rates, shorten the spray interval, and/or raise spray.volume to improve spray coverage. Repeat applications at an jnterval sufficient to maintain control, usually 3 to 14 days depending on plant growth rate, moth activity, and rainfall after treating, and other factors. If attempting to control a pest with a single spray, makethe treatment when egg hatch is essentially complete, but before crop damage occurs.
Use a spreader-sticker which has been approved for use on growing and harvested crops for hard-to-wet crops such as cabbage, or to improve weather-fastness of the spray deposits.
Biobit HP II is a non-restricted use pesticide and does not require a restricted use permit for purchase and use. Biobit HP II may be tank mixed with other labeled insecticides to enhance control. Use' of the resulting tank mix must be in accordance with the more restrictive label limitations and precautions.
No dosage rates should be exceeded. This product cannot be mixed with any product containing a label prohibition against such mixing. Before tarik mixing Biobit HP II with other labeled products, including spreader stickers, check for tank mix compatibility.
After ingesting a lethal dose of Biobit HP II, larvae stop feeding within the hour, and will die within, several hours to 3 days. Mortality varies with larval size (instar), lepidopteran species, and dose consumed. Following ingestion, larvae become sluggish, discolor, then shrivel, blacken and die. Smaller larvae die more quickly.
Biobit HP II may be applied in conventional ground or aerial equipment with quantities of water sufficient to provide uniform coverage of infested plant parts. The volume of water needed per acre will depend on crop development, relative humidity, spray eqllipnient, and local experience. Jsually, selection of moderate to high spray volume will provide the best results in most equipment. For optimal results, use at least 3 gallons of water per acre by air; exception arid areas, where 5 to 10 gallons are required. Add water to the mix tank and provide moderate agitation. With agitating, add the required amount of Biobit HP II: Continue agitation, and add other spray materials, if any. Add remaining water, if any, and agitate until fully mixed. Maintain the suspension with moderate agitation while loading and spraying. Do not mix more Biobit HP II than can be used in a 3 day period. '
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many equipment-and-weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all of these factors when making decisions.
