MODE OF ACTION
After eating a lethal dose of DiPel ES, larvae stop feeding within the hour, and will die within several days. Dying larvae move slowly, discolor, then shrivel, blacken and die. DiPel ES may be used in either the field or greenhouse for the control of any labeled pest.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
DiPel ES is a highly selective insecticide for use against listed caterpillars (larvae) of
Lepidopterous insects. Close scouting and early attention to infestations is highly recommended.
Larvae must eat deposits of DiPel ES to be affected. Always follow these directions:
Treat when larvae are young (early instars) and before economic thresholds of damage have been exceeded.
Larvae must be actively feeding on treated, exposed plant parts.
Thorough spray coverage is needed to provide a uniform deposit of DiPel ES at the site of larvae feeding. For some crops directed drop nozzles by ground machine are required.
Under heavy pest population pressure, use the higher label rates, shorten the spray interval, and/or increase spray volume to improve coverage.
Tank mixes with a contact insecticide may enhance control.
Repeat applications at an interval sufficient to maintain control, usually 3 to 14 days depending on plant growth rate, moth activity, rainfall after treating, and other factors. If attempting to control a pest with a single application, make the treatment when egg hatch is essentially complete, but before economic crop damage occurs.
A spreader-sticker or surfactant which has been approved for use on growing and harvested crops should be added for hard-to-wet crops. (Not recommended for chemigation)
DiPel ES is a non-restricted use pesticide and does not require a restricted use permit for purchase or use.
