PRODUCT INFORMATION
Flonicamid 50WG is a 50 percent water dispersible granular formulation of the insecticide flonicamid. Flonicamid 50WG provides control of a variety of aphid and plant bug pests and suppression of some non-aphid pests in Brassica head and stem vegetables, Brassica leafy greens, cotton, cucurbit vegetables, fruiting vegetables (except cucurbits), hop, leaf petiole vegetables, leafy greens (except Brassica), tuberous and corm vegetables, legume vegetables (except soybeans), root vegetables (except sugar beets), pome fruit, stone fruit, tree nuts, citrus, greenhouse cucumbers and tomatoes, greenhouse peppers, low growing berries, canola, alfalfa and clover grown for seed, celtuce, Florence fennel, kohlrabi and mint.
The rate of application is dependent upon the insect species present, the level of insect pressure, and the amount of foliage present. Begin applications before populations begin to build or at economic thresholds according to local economic guidelines. Refer to local Cooperative Extension Guideline and/or time applications for scouting results. Thorough plant coverage is essential for good performance.
Mode of Action: Flonicamid 50WG is a member of the pyridinecarboxamide class of chemistry. Flonicamid 50WG controls target pests by contact and ingestion provoking rapid and irreversible feeding cessation. Aphids and other insects could remain on the plant until they desiccate.
Resistance Management: For resistance-management, Flonicamid 50WG contains a Group 29 insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Flonicamid 50WG and other Group 29 insecticides. The resistant individuals may dominate the insect population if this group of insecticides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance management strategies should be vfollowed. To reduce the potential for developing insect resistance, rotate to an insecticide with a different mode of action. Monitor treated pest populations for resistance development. Read product label before applying any insecticide and follow label directions.
To delay insecticide resistance, take the following steps:
x Rotate the use of Flonicamid 50WG or other Group 29 insecticides within a growing season, or among growing seasons, with different groups that control the same pests. Avoid application of more than the maximum seasonal use rate or the total number of consecutive sprays of Flonicamid 50WG per season.
x Use tank mixtures with insecticides from a different group that are equally effective on the target pest when such use is permitted. Do not rely on the same mixture repeatedly for the same pest population. Consider any known cross-resistance issues (for the targeted pests) between the individual components of a mixture. In addition, consider the following recommendations provided by the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC):
o Individual insecticides selected for use in mixtures should be highly effective and be applied at the rates at which they  are individually registered for use against the target species.
o Mixtures with components having the same IRAC mode of action classification are not recommended for insect resistance management.
o When using mixtures, consider any known cross-resistance issues between the individual components for the targeted pest(s).
o Mixtures become less effective if resistance is already developing to one or both active ingredients, but they may still provide pest management benefits.
o The insect resistance management benefits of an insecticide mixture are greatest if the two components have similar periods of residual insecticidal activity. Mixtures of insecticides with unequal periods of residual insecticide activity may offer an insect resistance management benefit only for the period where both insecticides are active. Adopt an integrated pest management program for insecticide/acaricides use that includes scouting, uses historical information related to pesticide use, crop rotation, record keeping, and which considers cultural, biological and other chemical control practices.
x Monitor after application for unexpected target pest survival. If the level of survival suggests the presence of resistance, consult with your local university specialist or certified pest control advisor.
x Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional pesticide resistance management and/or IPM recommendations for the specific site and pest problems in your area.
