2003 Pesticide Registrations
Micromite (diflubenzuron) - insect growth
regulator
(This is a summary,
please see the product label and supplemental label for more details)
Micromite 80WGS
Pests Controlled: citrus leafminer, citrus peelminer, katydid
Dosage: 6.25 oz per acre
Method of Application:
Apply by ground application using 100-1000 gallons of water per acre to ensure
thorough coverage. Do not apply more than 18.75 oz per acre per season.
Do not apply within 25 feet of bodies of water. The addition of spray oil
enhances coverage. Protection against peelminer may last only a few weeks
when new tissue is exposed on rapidly expanding fruit. Most effective on
young katydids.
Timing of
application: Micromite has activity on the egg stage of peelminer and
the nymph stage of katydids.
REI: 12 hours
PHI: 21 days
2002 Pesticide Registrations
(Assail, Applaud)
Assail (acetamiprid) - neonicotinoid
(This is a summary,
please see the product label and supplemental label for more details)
Assail 70 WP
Pests Controlled: Glassy-winged sharpshooter and citricola scale
Dosage: 1.7-2.9
oz per acre (.07-.13 lbs AI) for GWSS and 3.4-5.7 oz per acre (.15-.25 lb AI)
for citricola scale.
Method of Application:
Apply by ground application using 100-200 gallons of water per acre for
GWSS and 300-750 gallons water per acre for citricola scale. Do not apply more than
5 applications or at most 12.5 oz per acre per season. Allow at
least 7 days between applications.
Timing of
application: Apply when GWSS nymphs and adults are present. Apply
March-October for citricola scale, however, it is most effective in the fall
when the population consists of small nymphs on leaves.
REI: 12 hours

acre. Do not apply more than 2 applications per season. Allow at
least 60 days between applications.

2001 Pesticide Registrations
(Admire, Provado, and Danitol)
Admire (Imidacloprid) - neonicotinoid
(This is a summary,
please see the product label and supplemental label for more details)
Admire 2 Flowable
Pests Controlled: California red scale, glassy-winged sharpshooter
Dosage: 32 fluid
ounces of product (0.5 lb ai) per acre. Do not apply more than 1 quart of product
per acre per year.
Method of Application:
For optimum uptake of Admire 2 Flowable, apply to trees either newly planted or trees
previously trained to drip / microsprinkler / low pressure irrigation. Emitters must
provide even, uniform distribution of water. Soil should be lightly prewetted
(several hours) to break soil
surface tension prior to application of Admire 2 Flowable. Once the irrigation system reaches
operating pressure, the Admire 2 Flowable solution should be injected into the system over
a calculated time interval (generally 2 hours) to allow uniform distribution throughout the system. The
use of a dye marker in the solution is recommended to determine when lines are clear of
Admire 2 Flowable. Once the solution has cleared all irrigation lines and emitters,
continue irrigation to move the insecticide to the active root zone but do not over
irrigate or cause runoff. Wait 24 hours before subsequent irrigations.
Timing of
application:
California red scale: apply to the soil
during May-July. Uptake is poor during winter months and because of bee
toxicity Admire can not be applied during bloom (April).
Glassy-winged sharpshooter: Apply in citrus
orchards May-July. Admire will take 3-4 weeks to begin to kill the
sharpshooter nymphs and adults.
PHI: 24 hours
REI: 24 hours
Provado (Imidacloprid) - neonicotinoid
(This is a summary,
please see the product label and supplemental label for more details)
Provado 1.6 Flowable
Pests Controlled: Citricola scale
Dosage: 10-20 fluid
ounces of product (0.125-.25 lb ai) per acre. Do not apply more than 20 oz
of product
per acre per year.
Method of Application:
Apply as a foliar treatment in sufficient water (250-500 gal/acre) to cover citrus where citricola scale is found. sufficient Timing of
application:
Citricola scale: apply to the foliage during August-September. The
higher rate (20 oz) lasts longer than the lower rate and works better against a
heavy infestation.
PHI:
24 hours
REI: 24 hours
Danitol (fenpropathrin) - pyrethroid
(This is a summary,
please see the product label for more details)
Danitol 2.4 EC
Pests Controlled: Glassy-winged sharpshooter, citrus thrips
Dosage: 21-1/3 fluid
ounces of product (0.4 lb ai) per acre. Do not apply more than 21-1/3 oz of product
per acre per year.
Method of Application:
Apply with airblast equipment as concnetrate of dilute spray to give outside
coverage (50-200 gal/acre). Use only on citrus trees 3 years or
older. To reduce the potential for resistance, only one pyrethroid should
be applied per year. Do not apply in the vicinity of aquatic
areas.
Timing of
application:
Glassy-winged sharpshooter: Apply when pest activity is noted.
Citrus thrips: Apply
when immature thrips activity on fruit is noted.
PHI: 24 hours
REI: 24 hours
