An Insecticide for Use on Vegetables, Fruits, Turf (Including Commercial Lawns), and other Crops Grown in the Field or Mushroom Houses. Kills/repels a variety of insect pests including whiteflies, loopers, caterpillars, leafminers, psyllids, mealybugs, and larvae of diamondback moths.
PREHARVEST INTERVAL
SUPERNEEM 4.5-B can be applied up to and including the day of harvest (zero PHI). Individual state regulations may vary and should be consulted for allowable preharvest interval.
MODE OF ACTION
This product controls targeted insect larvae when they ingest or come in contact with it, by interfering with the insect’s ability to molt.
It is effective on all larval or nymphal stages. It also reduces crop damage by repelling and deterring feeding of all stages of insects.
SPRAY EQUIPMENT
Use any suitable ground, aerial, or hand application equipment that allows for uniform coverage of the targeted treatment area.
GENERAL INFORMATION
x Broad Spectrum Insect Growth Regulator Insecticide
x Not for use in food-handling establishments.
x Shake well before using.
x Kills only immature stages (larvae or nymphs) of insects. Treated larvae may die as pupae.
x Make applications when pests first appear and are in their early larval stages. Repeat applications every 7 days or as needed.
x Botanical Insecticide Concentrate.
x Spraying directly onto the pest and a longer duration of leaf wetting increases effectiveness. Apply in early to mid-morning or late afternoon.
x The pH of spray solution containing SUPERNEEM 4.5-B must be kept between 3 and 8. Use spray solutions within several hours of preparation for maximum effectiveness. Do not store diluted solution for later use.
x Do not apply to wilted or otherwise stressed plants, or to newly transplanted material prior to root establishment. Do not apply to known spray sensitive plants without testing.
x SUPERNEEM 4.5-B has been found to be compatible when used in conjunction with most beneficial insects. Conduct a small trial to assure compatibility before using on a large scale.
x Use with care when applying near streams, ponds, lakes or bodies of water.
x Do not apply SUPERNEEM 4.5-B when weather conditions favor drift or the likelihood of runoff is high.
x For best results, add a spreader-sticker or oil-based adjuvant (such as methylated seed oil) at the label rate.
x Do not use on Comice Pears and other known sensitive pear varieties
This product may be pre-mixed in a supply tank with water, fertilizer or other appropriate agricultural chemicals. Agitation is necessary (see Mixing Directions). Crop injury or lack of effectiveness can result if uniform distribution is not achieved. When pest populations are high, use the higher label rates.
