INSECTICIDE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ARKANSAS ­

INTRODUCTION ­

Contributing Authors

University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture,

Department of Entomology Research Personnel ­

Recommendations and products listed in this publication are reviewed annually by the contributing authors. Research on chemical control of insect pests is ongoing as new products are developed and registered for use in the crops and situations presented. The information presented in this publication is taken from tests conducted and recommendations developed in Arkansas and is supplemented by published information from surrounding states. The use of any chemical suggested in this guide should always be preceded by a careful examination of the container label for directions and precautions. Many insecticides have registrations for uses not listed in this publication. They are not included here because of either a lack of space in the publication, their lack of availability for purchase in the state, their inefficiency for the purpose intended or their extremely hazardous nature when a less hazardous chemical will do the job just as well. Rates of insecticides in this publication are presented as recommended rate ranges to provide a flexible guide for product use. Insecticide performance charts in this guide are intended to indicate relative performance of products and not percent control.

POISON CONTROL CENTERS IN ARKANSAS

Compatibility Test: Since liquid fertilizers can vary, even within the same analysis, always check compatibility with insecticide(s) each time before use. Be especially careful when using complete suspension or fluid fertilizers, as serious compatibility problems are more likely to occur. Commercial application equipment may improve compatibility in some instances. The following test assumes a spray volume of 25 gallons per acre. For other spray volumes, make appropriate changes in the ingredients. Check compatibility using this procedure:

The United States Environmental Protection Agency has established a Poison Control System throughout the nation. Participating hospitals function on a voluntary basis to provide special emergency aid in case of chemical intoxication. Each Poison Control Center has the capability to determine the toxic constituent of commercial products, respond to calls from physicians or individuals and provide supportive or antidotal treatment.

In a pesticide or poisoning emergency, call 1­800­222­1222. Your call will be directed to the nearest Poison Control Center.

1. Add 1 pint of fertilizer to each of two 1-quart jars with tight lids.

2. To one of the jars, add 1/4 tsp or 1.2 milliliters of a compatibility agent approved for this use, such as Compex or Unite (1/4 tsp is equivalent to 2 pt per 100 gal spray). Shake or stir gently to mix.

INSECTICIDE APPLICATION ­

Tips for Proper Mixing*

By Dennis Gardisser

Extension Engineer (Retired) ­

3. To both jars, add the appropriate amount of insecticide(s). If more than one insecticide is used, add them separately with dry insecticides first, flowables next and emulsifiable concentrates last. After each addition, shake or stir gently to thoroughly mix. The appropriate amount of insecticides for this test follows:

1. See that equipment is clean and in good running condition, free of oil, grease or residue.

Dry Insecticides: For each pound to be applied per acre, add 1.5 level teaspoons to each jar. Liquid Insecticides: For each pint to be applied per acre, add 0.5 teaspoon or 2.5 milliliters to each jar.

2. Always follow label instructions about mixtures.

3. If there’s any question about compatibility, do a jar test first. 4. Add chemicals in W-A-L-E sequence. • Wettable powders or water dispersible granules. • Agitation. • Liquids (flowable liquids). • Emulsifiable concentrates.

4. After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten. Invert each jar ten times to mix. Let the mixtures stand 15 minutes and then look for separation, large flakes, precipitates, gels, heavy oily film on the jar or other signs of incompatibility. Determine if the compatibility agent is needed in the spray mixture by comparing the two jars. If either mixture separates but can be remixed readily, the mixture can be sprayed as long as good agitation is used. If the mixtures are incompatible, test the following methods of improving compatibility: (A) slurry the dry insecticide(s) in water before addition or (B) add one-half of the compatibility agent to the fertilizer and the other one-half to the emulsifiable concentrate or flowable insecticide before addition to the mixture.

5. Start with tank 1/4 full of carrier, and add all W or WDG chemicals first.

6. Get good, strong agitation with a rolling effect on the surface of the carrier. Allow time for good dispersal.

Checklist for Proper Spray Application

7. Have a shut-off valve installed in the bottom of each tank.

If you cannot check all the following (where applicable), perhaps you have a weakness in your weed control program that can be corrected.

8. Use a 16-mesh suction screen to allow chemicals to circulate through the pump.

9. Empty the tank as much as possible before mixing a new batch.

( ) 1. Use flat fan or other nozzle designed for uniform distribution when making broadcast applications.

The following compatibility test is taken from Ciba-Geigy’s AAtrex label for testing AAtrex compatibility in liquid fertilizer. However, the procedure and proportions are a good starting place for testing other pesticide mixtures. *Adapted from Ciba-Geigy booklet entitled “On Mixing Chemicals.”

( ) 2. Use “E” (even-spray) nozzles for banding behind press wheel. ( ) 3. Use flat fan or OC nozzles for postdirected.

( ) 4. Use a minimum screen size of 50 mesh for wettable powders or flowables. 5

( ) 5. Use stainless steel, ceramic or nylon tips for wettable powders or flowables.

Nozzle Tips

( ) 6. Accurately measure band width.

Insecticides are best applied with the proper nozzle tip design. For broadcast application of insecticides, use a flat fan tip such as an 8003, LF3-80°, etc. The tip size will depend on the pressure and speed. For postemergence directed insecticides, use a flat fan tip such as 8002 and LF2-80° or an off center tip such as an OC-02. For band application behind the planter, use an even spray tip such as 8003-E or LE3-80°. Note the band application behind the planter is the only use for the even spray tips.

( ) 7. Convert broadcast rates for band. ( ) 8. Accurately calibrate sprayer.

( ) 9. Refer to label and precautions in this publication to choose proper spray volume and pressure for insecticide used.



( ) 10. Have proper equipment for the insecticide.



For wettable powder applications, use stainless steel, ceramic or nylon tips and a 50-mesh screen. For more information on nozzle selection and special applications, refer to manufacturer’s catalogs.

( ) 11. Have proper agitation (not just bypass) for powders and flowables.



Insecticide Application

Application of the top may utilize a cone or a hollow cone nozzle in groups of two or three. Remember that this is essentially a banding application where most of the chemical is being directed or concentrated on the plant. Band width may need to be estimated for calibration purposes.

The success of any insecticide treatment depends upon proper application. The following information should provide some guidelines for proper application. This material lacks detail in several areas, such as nozzle selection, agitation, etc. However, detailed information on most aspects of spray application is available from your county Extension agent.

Nozzle Selection

Spray Volumes

Manufacturers of spray nozzles provide a wealth of information about the selection, setup and use of their products in their catalogs. These include such things as hose flow information and nozzle selection guides. Typically, the guides will show setup criteria and give recommendations for contact and systemic differences. It would be impractical to reprint all that information here. Manuals or catalogs for the type product you are using can be obtained from dealers. If you cannot locate a personal copy, each county Extension office usually keeps at least one copy of popular brand item catalogs. The more common way is to access this information over the Internet. Several URL listings are included for some of the more popular manufacturers below.

In general, spray volumes should be in the 2 to 20 gpa range for most insecticides. For band applications, a volume equivalent to 1/2 gallon per inch of band is sufficient (i.e., 10 gpa on a 20-inch band). Refer to the comments on each insecticide to note any specific application instructions. Sprayer Tank Agitation

The type of pesticide formulation dictates the need for agitation. Soluble liquids, soluble powders and emulsifiable concentrates require little agitation. Usually the flow from the bypass hose maintains a uniform mixture.

Nozzle manufacturers continue to offer more types of tips to improve spray applications. Most nozzle tips are now color coded to improve size distinction. Nozzle caps are now designed for easy on/off to facilitate cleaning when necessary. Most nozzle tips have a code stamped on them somewhere. These codes describe the nozzle characteristics, size and material type. Examples – 8002VK is an 80° flat fan, size number 2, ceramic tip and a LFR80-3. Thermoplastic is an eighty degree extended range flat fan tip in size 3 made of thermoplastic material. Tips are available in a number of materials. Stainless steel, nylon and ceramics offer the best wear characteristics. Most manufacturers offer an extended range type flat fan nozzle which helps eliminate some drift potential if operated at lower pressures. Low operation pressures also extends tip life.

Wettable powders and flowable formulations are only in suspension, and they require vigorous agitation to prevent settling out. Many instances can be cited where insufficient agitation has resulted in undesirable responses.

Jet Agitation in a Nutshell

1. Insufficient agitation can cost more than the entire sprayer cost.

2. Running a bypass hose into the tank is not agitation.

Many nozzle manufacturers now utilize air induction chambers to help control the droplet spectrum. This helps avoid the development of so many fine spray particles. Nozzle chambers also help stabilize the droplet spectrum over a wider pressure range.

3. Agitation can be expected to use more pump capacity than the nozzles require.

4. Pre-mixing wettable powders will get pesticides into suspension; insufficient agitation allows them to drop out. Continue agitation until all the spray is distributed. 6

A good tool of any spray operation is a current manufacturer’s catalog. Obtain one for the type spray components you are using and read it carefully to improve your spray accuracy. Several nozzle manufacturer addresses and web pages are listed here. Most

Sprayer Calibration

have excellent web pages with a wealth of information. Web pages and catalogs should be studied carefully for nozzle selection, setup and operation.

Measuring Travel Speed

Measure a test course in the area to be sprayed or in an area with similar surface conditions. Minimum lengths of 100 and 200 feet are recommended for measuring speeds up to 5 and 10 mph, respectively. Determine the time required to travel the test course. To help ensure accuracy, conduct the speed check with a loaded sprayer and select the engine throttle setting and gear that will be used when spraying. Repeat the above process and average the times that were measured. Use the following equation or the table below to determine ground speed.

When wind velocity is too high to be practical, the best solution is to park the sprayer. However, there are approaches to compensate for some wind. One solution is to change tips. Use a larger tip (i.e., an 8005 instead of an 8003), and lower the spray pressure (i.e., go up on the nozzle size and down on the pressure). Also, consider a wider angle tip such as a 9503 instead of an 8003. This allows the nozzle to be adjusted closer to the ground without changing the width of the spray pattern where it impacts on the ground. Properly used low pressure tips and Raindrop nozzles will reduce the drift possibility. Low pressure nozzles will substitute for flat fans. Raindrop nozzles (RA series) should be angled either 45° forward or back. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations. The new air induction style nozzles emit fewer fines and may be a very good tool to avoid drift potential. Air induction tips are typically not as sensitive to droplet size changes as operating pressures increase. This helps avoid small droplet formations when the sprayer is operating at higher speeds and the flow control is increasing pressure to ensure the correct dosage.

No single aspect of spray application is as important and so abused as sprayer calibration. There is no way to accurately apply an insecticide without accurately calibrating the sprayer and figuring the tank mix. Using the following method and examples, you can calibrate quickly. So do it!

Determining Tank Mix

1. Check the table below for the proper distance related to the row or nozzle spacing on your sprayer. For broadcast, use nozzle spacing; for band application such as post directed or band behind press wheel, use row spacing. Mark off this distance in the field you will be spraying.

Example 1 – Broadcast Application

Divide tank refill capacity by the calibrated gallons per acre (determined in Step 4). This is the number of acres the sprayer will cover per refill. Multiply the broadcast rate of insecticide (or band rate) times the acreage per refill to get the amount of insecticide (commercial product) to be put in the tank.

A grower will apply Anychem 1 with a broadcast boom having nozzles spaced 20 inches apart while pulling a disk for incorporation.

Step 1 The distance to travel for 20-inch nozzle spacing is 204 feet. Measure 204 feet in the field to be sprayed.

Calibration Distance (Feet) 102 107 113 120 127 136 146 157 170 185 204 227

For row or nozzle spacings and calibration distances not shown here – any calibration distance (feet) may be determined by the following equation: 4080/average row or nozzle spacing (in inches). Attach row conditioner, Triple-K, planter or whatever tool to be pulled by the tractor when spraying. Engage the tool to the proper depth and use the throttle setting and gear that will be used for spraying. Note the time in seconds on a stopwatch that it takes to drive the calibration distance measured. Catch the nozzle discharge for the noted time in Step 2 in a container graduated in ounces (plastic measuring cup, baby bottle, etc.). If you are using a broadcast boom with nozzles spaced evenly, catch the output from one nozzle for the time measured in Step 2. If more than one nozzle per row is used (directed, insecticide or fungicide rig), catch the spray from each nozzle for the time noted in Step 2. Then combine the amount from all nozzles spraying on a single row. The total discharge measured in ounces is equal to the gallons per acre applied. With a broadcast boom, this is the amount caught from one nozzle. Where you have used row spacing in Step 1, all nozzles directed to that row must be measured to determine the gallons per acre. Check each nozzle to ensure equal spray distribution across the width of the sprayer. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to ensure that nozzles do not vary more than 10 percent across the width of the sprayer.

Step 2 Select the desired gear and throttle setting with the disk down. Let’s say it takes 20 seconds to cover the 204 feet.

Step 3 Set the pressure to be used and catch one nozzle’s output for 20 seconds (the time required to travel the 204 feet).

Step 4 The output in ounces is the amount applied in gallons per acre. If the nozzle output was 15 oz in 20 sec, the sprayer applies 15 gpa. Step 5 Repeat step 4 checking each nozzle.

Let’s assume you have a 200-gallon tank and wish to apply one pint of Anychem 1 per acre. 200 gal/refill = 13.3 acres covered per tank (or refill)

15 gpa



Since you wish to use 1 pt/A, you would use 13.3 pints of Anychem 1 per refill, i.e., 1 pt/A × 13.3 acres = 13.3 pints. [See Note in Example 2.] Example 2 – Band Behind Planter

A grower will apply Anychem 2 behind his planter with a 14-inch spray band on a 38-inch row. Step 1

The distance to travel for a 38-inch row is 107 feet.

Step 2

Select the planting speed and travel the measured 107 feet with planter down. Let’s say it takes 18 seconds in this example.

Step 3

Set the pressure and catch one nozzle’s output for 18 seconds (the time required to travel 107 feet).

Step 4

The output in ounces is the amount applied in gallons per acre. If the nozzle output was 10 oz in 18 sec, the sprayer applies 10 gpa. (This is all on a band.) 8

Step 5

Repeat step 4 checking each nozzle.

Let’s assume two 200-gallon saddle tanks and the broadcast rate is 1 lb Anychem 3 50W + 1 pt Anychem 4 per acre. Reduce the rates for the 16-in band:

Let’s assume a 400-gallon tank (two 200-gallon saddle tanks) refill capacity and the rate of Anychem 2 50W for your soil is 1 lb/A broadcast. Reduce this rate to a 14-inch band.

16/32 × 1 lb = 1/2 lb Anychem 3

14" band × 1 lb/A = .37 lb/A to be applied on the band



38" row



400 gal tank capacity = 40 acres per refill

10 gpa

400 gal/refill = 40 acres per tank refill

10 gpa



40 acres × 1/2 lb Anychem 3 = 20 lb Anychem 3 40 acres × 1/2 pt Anychem 4 = 20 pt Anychem 4 Put 1/2 this amount (10 lb Anychem 3 + 10 pt Anychem 4) in each tank.

40 acres × .37 lb/A = 14.8 lbs of Anychem 2 50W per tank refill, i.e., 7.4 lb in each 200-gallon saddle tank.

Postemergence Spray Application

NOTE: Plan on the amount of water required to refill the tank, not the capacity of the tank itself. For example, if you have the above 200-gallon saddle tanks but you have 50 gallons of spray left in each when you refill, it only takes 300 gallons to refill them.

Following are some guidelines for properly applying postemergence directed insecticides. Nozzle Arrangements for Row Banding Overtop Insecticides

Therefore:

Guidelines

300 gal/refill = 30 acres per refill 10 gpa

1.

Adjust sprayer to apply the desired volume at 20-60 psi.

30 A/refill × 0.37 lb/A = 11 lb of Anychem 2 50W per refill (5.5 lb in each of the two tanks).

2.

Two-nozzle arrangements are effective on 6-inch tall or smaller plants.

Example 3 – Directed Spray

3.

Keep nozzles a minimum of 10 inches from plant canopy to develop pattern width.

A grower will apply Anychem 3 + Anychem 4 on a 16-inch band on a 32-inch row using 2 OC-02 nozzles per row (one on each side). Step 1

Step 2

4.

Nozzles should never be angled less than 45° to horizontal because part of the spray will be aimed upward.

The distance to travel for a 32-inch row is 127 feet.

5.

Spray should overlap cultivated ground at least 4 inches to ensure good coverage on the row shoulders. Coverage is essential (contact insecticide).

Select speed and drive the 127 feet. Assume it takes 15 seconds.

Step 3 Set the pressure and catch each of the 2 nozzles per row for 15 seconds or time determined in Step 2.

Plants Up to 8 Inches Tall

Nozzles can be angled greater than 45° or moved to spacings narrower than 22 inches where plants are small.

Step 4 Add the quantity from the two tips. The amount in ounces is the gallons per acre. Assume 5 oz per tip for a total of 10; therefore, a 10 gpa output.

Step 5

16/32 × 1 pt = 1/2 pt Anychem 4/A

Special 95° tips can be used where nozzle support doesn’t permit adequate nozzle spacing. Angle these tips downward at least 50° from horizontal and keep them a minimum of 8 inches from plant canopy.

Repeat step 4 checking the nozzles on each row.

Always measure the band width to determine proper insecticide tank mix.

FORMULATIONS AND CONCENTRATIONS Formulations

Flat Fan (50 psi)

The common types of insecticide formulations are wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates, dusts, solutions, aerosols, baits, granules and flowables.

LF2-80°, 8002 (17 gpa) LF2-80°, 8002 (12 gpa) LF3-80°, 8003 (13 gpa)

Wettable Powders (WP) are dry forms of insecticides in which the toxicant is impregnated or absorbed on powders that can be readily mixed with water because a wetting agent has been added. These form a suspension-type spray which must be kept agitated in a sprayer tank.

*Example Only – lower pressures may be selected and corresponding rate determined.

Emulsifiable Concentrates (E or EC) contain an insecticide and an emulsifying agent in a suitable solvent. These are diluted with water to form an emulsion and applied as sprays.

Three Nozzle Arrangement

The three nozzle arrangement is better if plants are reasonably tall and good coverage is needed in terminal region.

Dusts (D) are usually made by diluting the toxicant with finely ground, dried plant materials or minerals. These include wheat, soybean, walnut shells, talc, clay or sulfur.

Always measure the band width to determine proper insecticide tank mix.

Nozzle Tip Options* (three nozzles on 38­inch row)

Speed (mph) 4 6 8

Solutions are liquid forms of insecticides which are dissolved in suitable solvents such as petroleum distillates or liquid gas. Oil-base cattle sprays, household sprays and gas-propelled aerosols are examples of insecticide solutions.

Flat Fan (50 psi)

Aerosols are air suspensions of solid or liquid particles of ultramicroscopic size which remain suspended for long periods.

LF2-80°, 8002 (27 gpa) LF2-80°, 8002 (17 gpa) LF3-80°, 8003 (13 gpa)

Baits consist of a poison or poisons plus some substance which will attract the insect.

Granules (G) are formed by impregnating the insecticide upon an inert carrier of 30- to 60-mesh particle size.

*Example Only – lower pressures may be selected and corresponding rate determined.

Soluble Powder (SP) is a powder formulation that dissolves in water.

Flowable (F) is a liquid or viscous concentrate of suspendable pesticide in water.

Fumigant is a substance or mixture of substances which produce gas, vapor, fume or smoke intended to destroy insects, bacteria, rodents, or other organisms. Ready­To­Use (RTU) is a formulation in a form that requires no mixing before use.

Suspension Concentrate (SC) or Capsule Suspension (CS) are particles in suspension.

Low Volume (LV), Concentrated Low Volume (CLV) or Ultra Low Volume (ULV) is a formulation containing higher concentration of active ingredient per gallon of formulation that results in a lower volume of formulation per unit area.

10

Wettable Dispersible Granules (WDG) are granules of a pesticide formulation that disperse in water to form a spray solution.

NAMES, CLASSIFICATION, AND TOXICITY OF INSECTICIDES

The following chart will help you identify specific pesticides and give you an indication of their toxicities.

Names — Each generally used name of each pesticide is listed alphabetically in the left-hand column of the chart. Synonyms in general usage are listed in the next column opposite each entry. Trade names are indicated by the superscript “*”; they should be capitalized. Other names are usually not capitalized. Class ­ Classes — Most insecticides are classified chemically as: Car. = carbamate OP = organophosphate OC = organochlorines PP = phenylpyrazoles SyP = synthetic pyrethroids NEO = neonicotinoids SP = spinosyns AV = avermectins JH = juvenile hormone FL = flonicamid ET = etoxazole B = bacterial origin PRO = propargite IGR = insect growth regulator MISC = chemistry unclear OX = oxadiazine Phos. = phosphine DM = diamides

Primary Site of Action Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor GABA-gated chloride channel antagonists GABA-gated chloride channel antagonists Sodium channel modulators Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor Chloride channel activators Juvenile hormone mimic Feeding blockers Mite growth inhibitors Microbial disruptors ATP synthase inhibitors Chitin synthesis inhibitors Uncertain mode of action Sodium channel blocker Mitochondrial inhibitors Ryanodine receptor

Toxicity Categories and LD50 Values — When registering pesticides, the Environmental Protection Agency uses acute LD50 values to determine the toxicity category and words or symbols that must be placed on the label. For this purpose, the test animals are usually rats, mice, or rabbits, but other mammals are sometimes used.

Toxicity Category I. II. III. IV.

Highly Toxic Moderately Toxic Slightly Toxic Low Toxicity

Signal Words Required On Label by EPA

ORAL LD50 (mg/kg)

DANGER, POISON, Plus Skull & Crossbones Symbol WARNING

CAUTION

CAUTION

0 to 50

50 to 500 500 to 5,000 5,000

DERMAL LD50 (mg/kg) 24­Hr. Exposure 0 to 200 50 to 2,000 2,000 to 20,000 20,000

Probable Lethal Oral Dose For Adult Humans

A few drops to 1 t 1 t to 2 T 1 oz to 1 pt (1 lb) 1 pt (1 lb) or more

The LD50 is the dosage of the chemical at which one-half of the test animals are killed. It is based on the bodyweight of the animal and is expressed in milligrams of the chemical per kilogram of animal (mg/kg). A mg/kg is equivalent to 1 ppm. The lower the LD50 value, the higher the toxicity. Although most reported LD50 values are for technical material or actual toxicant, they are based on formulated products in some instances. All of these in the charts are for the technical material unless otherwise indicated. The toxicity categories given in the following charts are based on available data and are not necessarily the toxicity categories that would be assigned by EPA for the specific pesticides. Formulated pesticides usually have a higher LD50 than the technical material and may not fall in the same toxicity category as the technical material. The usual ways of administering chemicals are oral (by mouth), dermal (applied to the skin), and inhalation. Inhalation toxicity is expressed as LC50 (lethal concentration). It is not as generally used as the other two. Toxicity may be either acute or chronic. Acute refers to rather quick action from a single exposure, while chronic refers to the toxic effect of many exposures over a period of time. 19

Insecticides recommended for lactating dairy cattle can be used on non-lactating dairy cattle. Some insecticides recommended for use on beef cattle can be used on non-lactating dairy cattle. Be certain to follow the days to freshening guidelines and instructions on the label before using any insecticide labeled for beef cattle. Sanitation is critical to any fly control program in dairies and animal housing facilities. IPM includes sanitation, insecticides (baits, contact insecticides, etc.), surveillance (monitoring and/or trapping) and biological control (conserving natural enemies and/or releases). Use insecticides judiciously to minimize impact on natural enemies and to prevent or delay insecticide resistance. Use a combination of management methods.

DO NOT treat after Oct. 15 to avoid toxic reactions in cattle unless cattle were treated for grubs at the end of heel fly season. Apply along topline from withers to tailhead. To avoid undesirable host-parasite reactions, cattle should be treated as soon as possible after heel fly season (between Aug. 1 and Oct. 15).

If ear tags within the same insecticide class have been used for two or more consecutive years, substantial reduction in control effectiveness is possible. Revert to use of dusts, sprays or ear tags in a different insecticide class or alternative methods.

Waste (spilled feed, wet feed, manure, bedding) removal and management is the first line of defense in any filth fly management program. Prompt removal and disposal (such as spreading on pastures) of waste will reduce filth fly breeding sites and break the house fly life cycle. Some producers have experienced reduced fly populations with weekly releases of parasitic wasps beginning in April or May. Releases should be made in dry areas out of traffic and in areas where flies reproduce. Parasite and/or insecticide use are not a substitute for a good sanitation program.

Sanitation is critical to any fly control program in horse barns and animal housing facilities. IPM includes sanitation, insecticides (baits, contact insecticides, etc.), surveillance (monitoring and/or trapping) and biological control (conserving natural enemies and/or releases). Use insecticides judiciously to minimize impact on natural enemies and to prevent or delay insecticide resistance. Use a combination of management methods.

Waste (spilled feed, wet feed, manure, bedding) removal and management is the first line of defense in any filth fly management program. Prompt removal and disposal (such as spreading on pastures) of waste will reduce filth fly breeding sites and break the house fly life cycle. Some producers have experienced reduced fly populations with weekly releases of parasitic wasps beginning in April or May. Releases should be made in dry areas out of traffic and in areas where flies reproduce. Parasite and/or insecticide use are not substitutes for a good sanitation program.

A number of wipe-on towels and roll-on products are available in ready-to-use formulations for horses. These products can be useful, particularly on equines that become restless or agitated when attempting to apply insecticide spray formulations or to treat sensitive areas of the animal.

larvicides used on accumulated droppings will give some control, but removal or controlling the moisture in the droppings is preferable. Keep spray away from birds. DO NOT contaminate feed, poultry litter or feed troughs. DO NOT apply to poultry or cages. Well-timed spot treatment of heavy maggot infestations should eliminate the need for “blanket” applications on a routine basis. Repeat applications as needed. Sanitation, such as cleanup of spilled feed outside poultry houses, should not be overlooked. KEEP MANURE DRY. STOP WATER DRIPS. MOW WEEDS NEXT TO HOUSE. DO NOT apply directly to poultry or poultry feed. DO NOT feed treated manure to animals. Allow 1 day between last application and slaughter. DO NOT use larvadex 2 Sl in conjunction with larvadex-treated feed.

Mix according to label. Apply to cracks and crevices.

Sanitation is critical to any fly control program in poultry facilities. IPM includes sanitation, insecticides (baits, contact insecticides, etc.), surveillance (monitoring and/or trapping) and biological control (conserving natural enemies and/or releases). Use insecticides judiciously to minimize impact on natural enemies and to prevent or delay insecticide resistance. Use a combination of management methods.

Follow label directions. Dilute larvadex 2 Sl with water to make a 0.1% spray solution. Apply 1 gal of finished spray per 100 sq ft of area over manure, manure storage areas, spilled feed and other sites where fly maggots are active. Mix 1 lb Neporex 2 SG per gal of water. Apply as a coarse low-pressure spray on fly breeding sites with suitable spray equipment (hand-pressurized or power-operated sprayers). One gal of finished solution will treat 200 sq ft. 52

Waste removal and management is the first line of defense in any filth fly management program. Waste management includes both removal and moisture control. Minimizing the amount of moisture in waste will reduce fly breeding potential. Some producers have experienced reduced fly populations with releases of parasitic wasps. Parasite and/or insecticide use are not substitutes for a good sanitation and moisture control program.

DO NOT apply directly to poultry or poultry feed. DO NOT feed treated manure to animals. Allow 1 day between last application and slaughter. DO NOT use Neporex 2 SG in conjunction with larvadex-treated feed.

Restrictions/Remarks

Waste (spilled feed, wet feed, manure and bedding) removal and management is the first line of defense in any filth fly management program. Prompt removal and disposal (such as spreading on pastures, use of lagoons, etc.) of waste will reduce filth fly breeding sites and break the house fly life cycle.

Application/Comments

Apply in furrow at planting. DO NOT plant other rotational crops within 1 year of application. Suppression of first generation borers only.

DO NOT apply Belt more than 4 times per season.

Use of insecticides applied to foliage for management of second-generation corn borers in early July has reduced stalk tunneling and lodging. However, yield increases have not been common with early-planted field corn.

Apply Ambush and Pounce prior to ear formation. Granules are best for first-generation larvae. Use foliar sprays on second-generation larvae. Apply granules by aircraft or by ground equipment directing granules into whorls. DO NOT apply more than 6 oz of Tracer per acre per year.

INSECTICIDE TERMINATION GUIDE Determine Date of Cutout using the earlier of Date of NAWF=5 or Weather-restricted date (North AR: Aug. 8, Central AR: Aug. 14, South AR: Aug. 21)

Record daily heat units (DD60s) from Date of Cutout. (DD60s are calculated by subtracting 60 from the average daily temperature.)

TERMINATION RULES

Stink Bugs

Cutout + 450 DD60s

Fall Armyworm

Cutout + 500 DD60s

Crop termination recommendations are based on long-standing and ongoing COTMAN research conducted by University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture scientists. Date of Cutout is the flowering date of the last economically significant boll population. If a field reaches physiological cutout [average number of nodes above white flower=5 (NAWF=5)] in late July or early August in Arkansas, then heat units are accumulated from the NAWF=5 date. Otherwise, heat units are accumulated from a seasonal cutout date based on historical weather for that production region. Typically, a boll needs 850 DD60s to mature with acceptable size and quality.

The weather-restricted, seasonal cutout date is the calendar date on which there is a 50% probability that the crop will have the benefit of late season temperatures sufficient to develop a mature boll. Seasonal cutout dates range across the state from Aug. 8 in northernmost parts of Arkansas (Clay County) out to Aug. 21 in the most southern portions of the state (Ashley County). The latest version of COTMAN will supply yearly updates for seasonal cutout dates for each production region. It is now available from Texas A&M University (http://cotman.tamu.edu/index.htm).

Acres/Gallon

Application/Comments

Treatment for aphids alone seldom results in a yield increase. 1. Resistance to neonicotinoid insecticides (imidacloprid, Intruder, Centric) has developed. Avoid unnecessary/automatic applications of these insecticides when aphids are present. 2. Threshold: When populations are building and aphid colonies are present on approximately 50% of the plants: a. If there are less than 0.3 lady beetle adults AND less than 0.2 lady beetle larvae (per row-ft), treat. b. If there are at least 0.3 lady beetle adults OR 0.2 lady beetle larvae (per row-ft), do not treat, but resample within 7 days. i. If aphid population is still increasing after 7 days, treat, otherwise continue normal sampling interval. 3. The aphid fungus is very effective in reducing aphid populations in early to mid-July. Fields should be checked for fungus before treatments are applied. If confident the fungus is present in 15% of the aphid population, do not treat. flonicamid Carbine 50 WG

Treatment should be made when at least 100 thrips are found per bloom plus some damage. Treatment is seldom warranted. Populations may resurge to treatment levels 10 days after treatment.

Maintain 2-3 plants per row ft. Cutworm control is most effective when ground applications are made and sprays are directed (banded) to the base and lower portion of the plant.

Stale seedbed/no-till fields, fields with cover crops and/or heavy spring weed pressure or fields with a history of cutworm problems should be considered high-risk fields. Consider preventative pyrethroid applications for cutworm in these situations utiizing a 1/3 band applicator behind the planter.

Scouting Procedure Check seedling rice, particularly fields bordering wheat.

Early season watch rice bordering wheat for migration of true armyworms into field (damage can occur quickly when armyworms move in). Watch field borders, particularly near grassy areas. General visual observation.

Sample for stink bugs during the morning hours or late evening. Stink bug levels are difficult to estimate during high daytime temperatures. Inspect the youngest leaf on 40 rice plants at each stop for adult feeding scars. Avoid areas with thin stand. Do not count older leaves with scars.

Application/Comments

DO NOT use Sevin prior to or within 15 days after propanil. Flooding prior to treatment will move chinch bugs up from the soil onto the plants and increase chances of control. Flooding alone may not control chinch bugs. Apply Karate Z, Prolex, Proaxis, Declare and Mustang Max in minimum of 5 gal of water per acre. DO NOT release flood water within 7 days after application of Karate Z, Prolex, Proaxis, Declare or Mustang Max. Karate Z, Prolex, Proaxis, Declare and Mustang Max can be safely applied before or after herbicide applications.

Minimum days From last Application to Harvest 14 21 21 14

If insecticide is applied before propanil, check herbicide recommendations for alternative control methods. Treatment will be most successful in late afternoon. Later in the season, treat when fall armyworms are present and damaging the flag leaf.

21

Monitor rice fields adjacent to wheat for movement of true armyworms into seedling rice.

Application/Comments

Check infestation levels weekly or bi­weekly following 75% panicle emergence using a 15­inch diameter sweep net. Apply insecticide when 2 stink bugs are found per square yard, when 5 or more stink bugs per 10 sweeps are present during the first 2 weeks after fields initially reach 75% panicle emer­ gence or when 3 stink bugs are found per square yard or more than 10 stink bugs per 10 sweeps are present thereafter. Sampling stink bugs should be conducted between 8­10 a.m. and 6­8 p.m. to get the best estimate of the population. Repeat treatment as necessary to maintain control. Apply Karate Z in minimum of 5 gal of water per acre. DO NOT release flood water within 7 days after application of Karate Z, Prolex, Proaxis, Declare or Mustang Max.

Minimum days From last Application to Harvest 14 7 7 21 21 14

DO NOT apply after 3rd tiller initiation. DO NOT apply to rice that has NipSit Inside seed treatment. Hold water for 14 days after treatment.

Karate Z and Mustang Max can be safely applied before or after herbicide applications. drill Seeded: Apply Karate Z, Prolex, Proaxis, Declare and Mustang Max within 10 days after permanent flood when adults are present. Water Seeded: Apply Karate Z, Prolex, Proaxis, Declare and Mustang Max within 7 days after permanent flood when adults are present; a second application may be necessary 5­7 days later. Karate Z, Prolex, Proaxis, Declare and Mustang Max prevent adults from laying eggs. Treat based on leaf scar treatment threshold using Karate for drill or water seeded.

drill Seeded: Apply Dimilin within 10 days after permanent flood when adults are present. Water Seeded: Apply Dimilin within 7 days after permanent flood.

Midges can be a problem in water­seeded rice. To avoid midge problems, use presprouted seed, promptly apply seed as soon as field is flooded and avoid seeding during cool weather. Application at boot stage and/or at panicle emergence for suppression of white heads. Rice stalk borer is seldom a pest.

DO NOT apply after 3rd tiller initiation. DO NOT apply to rice that has NipSit Inside seed treatment. Hold water for 14 days after treatment.

Karate Z, Prolex, Proaxis, Declare and Mustang Max may only provide suppression. Experience has shown that insecticide applications are justified when two to three greenbugs per plant occur on rice in the one­ to two­leaf stage.

DO NOT plant or sow Cruiser­treated seed by aerial application. Cruiser is NOT labeled for use in water­seeded rice. DO NOT use treated fields for aquaculture of edible fish or crustaceans. DO NOT exceed 120 lb seed per acre. Use only on dry­seeded rice. DO NOT spray crop with another neonicotinoid insecticide after using NipSit Inside. DO NOT use near fish or crawfish farms.

Armyworm treatment level:

For fall infestation, treat when populations reach 6 larvae per square foot. Apply when larvae are present and head cutting is occurring after wheat has reached milk/soft dough stage. Consider application in heading wheat prior to the milk stage if most leaves are destroyed and larvae are observed in the panicles (>20 larvae/sq ft). Greenbug treatment level: Number per Plant Height Linear Foot of Drill 4­6 inches 50 6­10 inches 200 10­20 inches 300 30+ inches 800

For broadcast wheat, use a square foot measurement and double the numbers above.

Barley Yellow dwarf Virus (BYd): Controlling aphids in order to prevent BYD is not an economical practice. BYD outbreaks occur approximate­ ly 1 out of 10 years. The most effective method of pre­ venting BYD is to avoid planting early, which increases the risk of developing fall BYD infections. Other Aphids: Other aphids seldom damage wheat even though they may be present in large numbers. DO NOT make more than 2 applications per season. DO NOT make applications less than 14 days apart. Transform is not labeled on oats or rye.

Application/Comments

Minimum days last Application to Havest Grazing

Preventative treatment for Hessian fly is not typically recommended in Arkansas. Hessian fly can be controlled by cultural methods: a. Burn wheat stubble and disc under. b. Destroy volunteer wheat. c. Plant late in fall, mid October or early November. d. Plant resistant varieties. e. Consider using a seed treatment (Cruiser, NipSit, Gaucho) if wheat is planted early (prior to mid October). Seed treatments may help reduce Hessian fly in early plantings.

Proaxis, Karate, Silencer, Baythroid, Declare, Mustang Max and Respect are not labelled for use on barley, oats or rye.

Application/Comments

Grain surface should be level. Apply in gas-tight bins when grain temperature is 60°F or higher. Leave for at least 3 days, preferably 5 days. DO NOT fumigate when temperatures are below 40°F. Use higher rates when infestations are high and/or temperatures are low. Always use a gas mask and never fumigate alone. Fumigated grain should be aerated thoroughly before feeding.

Use a self-contained breathing apparatus and a safety rope. Seal all buildings and storage bins airtight before fumigation. Fumigation is not recommended for storage bins not equipped with fans for aeration. Be careful under hot, humid conditions when using aluminum phosphide because phosphine gas may be released quickly under these conditions. Phosphine needs at least 72 hours to kill some immature insects.

Special training and precautions are needed before using aluminum phosphide. For more information on treatment using aluminum phosphide: http://www.degeschamerica.com/.

Place in a tight container. Temperature should be checked with meat thermometer. DO NOT use heat on seed to be planted. Place container in deep freeze.

HONEY BEE HIVE

Material is extremely caustic. Applicators should wear coveralls, long sleeves, long pants, acid-resistant gloves (PVC, neoprene, nitrile) and protective eyewear. Wear approved respirator with organic vapor cartridge. DO NOT open hives without PPE for 72 hours after application. Safe to apply during the honey flow.

If hives are treated in the spring, prior to the first honey flow, strips must be removed at least 14 days prior to adding honey supers. Fall treatment can be applied as soon as honey supers are removed. Treat hives in the spring before first honey flow or in late summer or fall after surplus honey has been removed. Supers may be returned to hive following treatment. Never consume or sell contaminated honey. Many mite populations are resistant to this product. Treat hives in spring before first honey flow or in late summer or fall after surplus honey has been removed. Supers may not be placed on hives for 14 days after removal of strips. Never consume or sell honey that has been treated. DO NOT treat any hive with coumaphos more than two times in one year. Many mite populations are resistant to this product.

Remove product at least 4 weeks prior to spring honey flow to prevent honey contamination. In the fall, remove surplus honey prior to treatment. DO NOT use product when temperature is below 60°F. Use of fumigants for varroa mites (formic acid, thymol) is effective against tracheal mites as well.

Grease patties do not kill tracheal mites, but slow their spread within a hive by interfering with mite host-finding ability. Check often, as patties are extremely attractive to small hive beetles.

Feed medicated syrup to each hive 2 times, 10 days apart, in the spring and/or the fall.

Apply aproximately 3 tablespoons, 3 times, at 4- to 5-day intervals to the top of the frames in the brood chamber. Dust the mixture onto the tops of frames, around the edges of the brood chamber to avoid powder killing uncapped brood.

114

Precautions and Remarks

DO NOT use during honey flow. Remove strip 14 days before honey supers are added in spring, or remove surplus honey prior to fall treatment. Never consume or sell honey that has been treated. DO NOT treat any hive with coumaphos more than two times in one year.

Chemical control has limited effect on small hive beetles; keep colonies strong, do not over-super and manage adult beetle populations using mechanical traps.

Mow grass/vegetation around hives prior to application. Apply only after high numbers of beetle larvae have been found in a hive. Soil drench kills only adult beetles emerging from soil; does not prevent adults flying from other areas. Permethrin is HIGHLY TOXIC TO HONEY BEES; do not contaminate hives or other surfaces that bees may contact. Apply with a sprinkler can, never with a pressure sprayer. DO NOT use during honey flow. Stop treatment at least 4 weeks prior to addition of any honey supers.

DO NOT use during honey flow. Stop treatment at least 4 weeks prior to addition of any honey supers. [Nozevit is NOT a medication or an antibiotic; it is a feeding supplement which, in some cases, appears to lower the overall spore count in Nosema-infected bees.] DO NOT use during honey flow. Stop treatment at least 6 weeks prior to addition of any honey supers. Requeening hive, or caging queen for 10 days, to break brood cycle at time of application will increase effectiveness of treatment. Tylosin is recommended for use when foulbrood is found to be resistant to other treatments. Use only under the supervision of a state apiary inspector.

NOTE: AFB is extremely contagious. Antibiotics cannot cure AFB-infected honey bees. Destruction of infected colonies (bees and hives) by burning is mandatory. Apiary should be quarantined; all other colonies in the apiary should be treated with antibiotic, then inspected again in 4 weeks. If AFB is suspected, contact state apiary inspector.

Where San Jose scale is a main target of oil sprays, the best timing is at green tip, but delaying oil application until half­inch green will give better control of mites. DO NOT use Captan within 2 weeks or Sulfur within 30 days before or after an oil application. Apply Supracide before any blossoms open. For rates less than 2 pt Supracide per 100 gal, tank mixed with an oil. Use Esteem with Superior spray oil at recommended rate at half­inch green to control scale and rosy apple aphid. Since July 31, 2013, it is unlawful to use Endosulfan on pear. After July 31, 2015, it will be unlawful to use Endosulfan on apple or blueberry. After July 31, 2016, it will be unlawful to use Endosulfan on any crop.

Weekly from tight cluster to late May, check five fruit clusters in interior of each of 20 susceptible trees (look at Ida Red or Golden Delicious) for rosy apple aphids inside curled leaves. Post­bloom application of Lorsban to apples is prohibited. Caution: In some blocks, rosy apple aphid was resistant to endosulfan, Ambush and Asana. Caution: Use of Pyrethroids (Ambush, Asana, Baythroid, Danitol, Decis, Pounce, Proaxis and Warrior) may kill natural enemies triggering outbreaks of woolly apple aphid, mites, San Jose scale and Comstock mealybug. 

Ambush and Pounce are not to be applied after petal fall.

Avaunt is for tarnished plant bug only. Keeping the orchard groundcover free of flowering broadleaf weeds will also lessen the bug population and keep pollinators in the fruit trees. Closer is for tarnished plant bugs only.

Remarks/Precautions

The need for insecticide against spotted tentiform leafminer is questionable, because the number of mines in Arkansas rarely exceeds the spray threshold level of two mines per leaf.

If an insecticide is not applied for rosy apple aphid at pink, or if live aphids are still present, an insecticide should be applied. 

Time applications of Intrepid or Rimon before Oriental fruit moth egg hatch at 200­400 DD or for codling moth between 50­100 DD following biofix. Repeat applications in 14­ to 17­day intervals. For codling moth larvae, spray for each generation starting at 250 DD (May), 1250 DD (June) and 2250 DD (late July). For Oriental fruit moth, spray for each generation at 400­700 DD (late April), 1300­1700 DD (late May, after 2300 DD (late June) and every 10 to 14 days thereafter if you continue to see new fruit damage (red ring with frass).  Use in non­chlorinated water. Apply one of the codling moth granulosis virus formulation (Carpovirusine, Cyd­X HP, Madex or Virosoft) sprays only in orchards with low to moderate populations of codling moth. Time virus application against newly hatched codling moth larvae. Repeat sprays at interval of 7­9 days during codling moth hatch periods. After application, you may see stings and frass on fruit skins but rarely see live larvae in fruit. Note: Refrigerate virus formulations until used. Resistance management: Alternate Entrust sprays with applications of granulosis virus against codling moth. Apply weekly as necessary during hatch period. Resistance management: Alternate Entrust sprays with applications of Bt formulations against Oriental fruit moth or leafrollers. Spray foliage when you see scale crawlers on several double­sticky tapes wrapped around scale­infested branches. By 300 DD since first catch of San Jose scale males on pheromone traps, wrap sticky tape traps on limbs and check twice weekly for crawlers.

Plum curculio sprays are justified when you detect new fruit feeding damage in perimeter trees after 1200 DD (usually in early June) has accumulated since the PC biofix in late March.

Remarks/Precautions

In orchards larger than 5 acres, we have used the mating disruption strategy to achieve fruit free of damage by Oriental fruit moth and codling moth. Best results require that you reduce the first generation moth populations with insecticide or virus or Bt (see Petal Fall or First Cover). Then attach mating disruption dispensers on lateral branches in upper third of tree canopy prior to moth emergence of second generation Oriental Fruit moth (OFM) by mid­May (800 DD) and/or Codling moth (CM) by early June (900 DD).  Beginning in early August, weekly monitoring fruit weekly for new surface stings and frass indicating mating disruption dispensers are no longer emitting pheromone so apply insecticide: SpinTor or Entrust or Bt or virus.  In conventional orchards, SpinTor will control Oriental fruit moth, codling moth and leafrollers as will other compounds listed in FIRST COVER.  In organic blocks, from August to harvest, rotate weekly applications of Entrust with Bt formulations (Biobit, Deliver or Javelin) to control Oriental fruit moth or granulosis virus (Cyd­X, Virosoft and Virusine) to control codling moth.  Leafhoppers generally are not a problem in Arkansas. Spray threshold = one or more nymphs per leaf in late July to early August. Treatment at this time will eliminate the need to treat for adults immediately before harvest.

Plum curculio: Apply insecticide after shuck split if greater than 1 plum curculio adult per 4 traps per week or begin sprays when you first detect fruit feeding damage in perimeter trees. Belay can be applied 2 times per season against scale, stink bugs and plum curculio. Use Imidan in blocks with scale infestations.  DO NOT use Imidan on sweet cherries.

Time spray against San Jose scale crawlers. Monitor for crawlers by wrapping double­stick tape around scale­infested limbs in early May. Weekly inspect the tape for yellow crawlers. The crawler period persists 2 to 3 weeks in May. Apply crawler spray at 10­day intervals as long as crawlers are detected.  Place 2 peachtree borer pheromone traps on interior trees. These traps will indicate when moth flight begins and peaks. Delay peachtree borer trunk drench spray until you consistently catch peachtree borers in traps for at least two weeks.

Use low rate of Acramite for twospotted mite or high rate for European red mite. Acramite can only be applied once per season. Agri­Mek is most effective if applied before leaves harden off.  Apollo is most effective on eggs and newly hatched nymphs. Limit use to one Apollo application per year. Use low rate of Nexter for European red mite or high rate for twospotted mite. Mite spray thresholds: Miticide spray recommended if mites exceed 2.5 mites per leaf in May, 5 mites per leaf in June and 7.5 mites per leaf in July. Repeat spray once 10 days later if live mites still exceed threshold.

Isomate and CheckMate products are OMRI approved for organic production. The mating disruption strategy will keep peach fruit free of damage by Oriental fruit moth only in orchards larger than 5 acres.  By mid­May or before 800 DD have accumulated since first Oriental fruit moth catch in traps in March, attach 100 or more mating disruption dispensers per acre on lateral branches in upper third of tree canopy. Continue to monitor fruit weekly for Oriental fruit moth damage.  Some damage may occur in perimeter trees and require a perimeter insecticide spray.  Longevity of dispensers vary: Isomate M lasts 100 days, and CheckMate OFM lasts 150 days. Then each dispenser stops releasing pheromone and provides no more control. Always check weekly for signs of worms entering stem end of peach and protect with insecticide when worms appear in mid­August. 

Sevin is suggested here since it can be used one day before harvest. Sevin and pyrethroid formulations may encourage mite outbreaks. Recommend spray against Oriental fruit moths if you averaged more than 5 moths per trap since the last spray.  This new pest will attack cherry and may attack thin skinned peaches.

SPECIAL PROBLEM/PEST OF CHERRY AND MAYBE LATE PEACHES Spotted Wing Drosophila (SWD) is a new invasive insect pest that has been detected in ripening and ripened fruit in many Midwest states, including Arkansas in 2013. The SWD larvae feed inside and damage ripening soft­skinned fruit, especially blackberry, blueberry, raspberry and strawberry. See the Spotted Wing Drosophila site: http://www.ipm.msu.edu/swd.htm or the Arkansas SWD fact sheet: http://www.uaex.edu/Other_Areas/publications/PDF/FSA­7079.pdf. 

SPECIAL PROBLEMS/PESTS OF CHERRY, PEACH AND PLUM BORERS OF TREES – The peachtree borer and lesser peachtree borer often infest peach, apricot, cherry and plum trees. The lesser peachtree borer lays eggs on bark near scaffold wounds where larvae hatch and bore into wounds. This species appears to have two generations per year. This attack further weakens limbs. The peachtree borer lays eggs near trunk base and larva bores in trunk below the soil line. Some of the regularly applied insecticide cover sprays aid in suppressing lesser peachtree borers. However, adequate control of both pests requires a drench spray of the trunk and/or scaffold limbs. Pheromone traps are available to monitor moth emergence of both pests. Where lesser peachtree borers have been a problem, spray 7­14 days after moth emergence begins in April and repeat in June for second generation hatch.

Where lesser peachtree borer has been a light to moderate problem, apply insecticide once at the peak of the second moth flight (in June or July). Where lesser peachtree borer has been a moderate to heavy problem, make two applications: one 7 to 14 days after emergence of first­generation moths begins (spray mid­April to mid­May) and the second at the peak of the second generation moth flight (often in June or July). Lorsban 50W is for sour cherries only. Lorsban is not labeled for use on plums. Use only Pounce, Ambush or Warrior on plums.

ORIENTAL FRUIT MOTH ATTACKS FRUIT– In mid­May, set out pheromone dispensers (Isomate­M 100; or CheckMate OFM) at the recommended rate to control this pest through harvest. The pheromone is slowly emitted from plastic dispensers for 100+ days in the warmer southern states (see label). The atmosphere of the orchard becomes saturated with the pheromone odor. Male moths become confused so they are delayed in locating and mating with females. Read the label for proper application procedure and longevity of dispensers.

GRANULATE AMBROSIA BEETLE – The granulate ambrosia beetle Xylosandrus crassiusculus (Mot.) is a relatively new pest in Arkansas and can cause significant damage in nursersy, landscape, and orchard settings. Female beetles bore into the sapwood of stems and young trees. Though attracted to damaged, stressed, or transplanted trees, the granulate ambrosia beetle also attacks seemingly healthy, thin­barked hardwoods or branches from 1.0­2.5 inches in diameter (sometimes larger). Visible symptoms include wilted foliage and strands of boring dust protruding from small holes. These insects make galleries directly into the heartwood of the tree, which they inoculate with an ambrosia fungus (Ambrosiella spp.) which is used as their food source. In addition, they can introduce or create entry points for pathogenic fungi such as Fusarium spp. Death is more likely related to these pathogenic fungi that block xylem vessels. Young infested trees often die, while more established trees may survive. Infestations can be identified by toothpick­like strands of boring dust protruding up to 1.5 inches from the host plant. The strands are produced by the female beetle as she excavates her gallery. The strands are fragile and are easily broken off by wind or rain leaving only pencil­lead sized holes. Heavily infested plants or plant parts should be removed and destroyed. Once trees are infested, the beetle cannot be killed within the plant, and fungicides are ineffective against the fungus. Protective sprays on trunks may be attempted on susceptible nearby plants. Trunk/limb sprays of a labeled insecticide containing chlorpyrifos or a pyrethroid insecticide may be effective as a preventative, but multiple applications of the pyrethroids may have to be made during the time the beetles are active. Always read and follow label directions for the insecticide used. Keep trees healthy and avoid any unnecessary tree stress (drought, injury, nutrition, etc.). Check trees frequently beginning early March and treat accordingly. Use ethyl alcohol based traps to monitor for adult beetles in the spring (see UA Extension Fact Sheet FSA 7064). Use a protective   insecticide as soon as beetle activity starts. RED IMPORTED FIRE ANTS (ALL FIRE ANT BAITS) – Apply when ants are active and soil temperature is above 60 degrees F. DO NOT treat if rain is anticipated within 6 hours. Non­Bearing Trees

Remarks/Precautions

Move grape berry moth pheromone traps into the vineyard interior.

Grape berry moth larvae usually hatch and feed on perimeter grape clusters from mid­May to early June or from 400 to 800 DD since GBM biofix in April. Begin weekly inspections of 100 to 200 clus­

  ters in the perimeter and second row for new berry moth larvae tunneling under the berry skin  ­

(damaged berry skin appears pink to purple). 

Spray the perimeter vines in May to early June, if greater than 1% clusters damaged by berry moth.

Intrepid is an insect growth regulator that provides control of grape berry moth if first applied just

Grape phylloxera crawlers produce second generation foliar galls in May. These crawlers mature and produce additional generations of crawlers on susceptible cultivars including Catawba, Cayuga White, Chambourcin, Chardonel, Delaware, Norton/Cynthiana, Reliance, Vignoles and Vidal). Apply insecticide in May against grape phylloxera crawlers when you first see expanding terminal leaves on susceptible vines with a rash­like appearance (new leaf galls forming).

For Admire Pro to be effective against grape phylloxera, it must be applied to soil around vines and

watered in by irrigation or rain in early April to move systemically up trunk into leaves (See BUD BREAK).   Use of Induce® adjuvant only with Movento is prohibited once fruit are present due to adverse plant

compatibility. 

Spider mite flare­ups may occur due to road dust coating grape leaves.  Apply miticide between 1 and 5 spider mites per leaf.

Make no more than 2 applications of Vendex per season no closer than 21 days apart. Phytotoxicity:  DO NOT apply sulfur within 10 days of JMS Stylet Oil application, but you can repeat oil spray every 10­14 days.  M­Pede should not be applied to Vitis vinifera or Calmeria grapes. M­Pede may cause plant injury if plants are drought stressed or temperatures exceed 90º F or burned by sulfur if applied within 3 days of

Surround applied to white­wash foliage will suppress/prevent Japanese beetle defoliation but should be re­applied as often as needed to keep vines white­washed, especially after a rain. Surround is approved for organic production. 

In July and early August, green June beetles will feed on and damage ripening fruit. Apply spray in July when first beetles enter the vineyard. Reapply as needed (weekly).

Use to control the pest just prior to adult emergence from the soil or new larvae entering soil. Apply Lorsban to the soil surface in a 1­ to 2­foot band on either side of the vine. DO NOT allow spray to contact fruit or foliage. Make one application per season by 35 days pre­harvest or after harvest. Generic formulations of chlorpyrifos are also labeled for use against grape root borer. Application can be made with flood nozzles and at low pressure (40­60 psi).  Cultural tactic: Maintain weed­free area under vines. Use a grape root borer pheromone trap to detect first moth emergence. Use grape hoe at first catch of grape root borer moths and repeat 1 month later to pile soil to 4­ to 6­inch depth and 1­foot width on both sides of trunk. Mounded soil needs to be removed by September 1. This practice will greatly suppress moth ability to emerge from the soil.  Mass trapping: By June 15, hang 1 grape root borer green bucket trap per acre from top trellis wire. Hang 1 trap in every eighth panel (200 row feet) of every 20th row to achieve 1 trap per acre (10 foot row spacing and 24 foot panel length). Bait each trap with a grape root borer sex pheromone lure (replace lure monthly) and place an insecticide impregnated vaportape inside each bucket to kill captured moths.  See blackberry and raspberry, blueberry and strawberry sections in MP144.

Native trees and improved varieties vary in susceptibility to phylloxera. This insect is not highly mobile, and infestations are often limited to a few trees. Treatments should be applied to those trees previously infested and those adjacent to them. There are many generic formulations available of imidacloprid. Control must be initiated at bud break (April). A hand lens should be used to confirm that phylloxera are present. Marking infested trees that have galls in May will facilitate identification of potential treatment sites next year.

Black aphids are more damaging than yellow aphids because they inject a toxin between leaf veins causing an area up to ¼ inch in diameter to turn brown and die. Treatments are recommended when there is an average of one black aphid per com­ pound leaf or 25 yellow aphids per compound leaf. Leaf samples should be randomly collected from different trees throughout the orchard. Aphid treatment is strongly  discouraged before July.  Use 7.0 oz of Provado for black aphids. Separate applications for yellow aphids are generally not recommended.  The majority of weevils emerge from soil after a heavy rain as early as August 15,  especially on sandy soils. Treatments are generally warranted in infested orchards in late August. Monitoring circle traps on trunks will detect emerging adults and aid timing of treatments. Multiple applications may be required. Pecans are most susceptible to injury from gel stage to shuck split. Sevin is best for weevils alone but is not effective against aphids, mites or stink bugs and may cause mite problems.

Note: The following list of pesticides is labeled for the uses listed. However, there are different formulations of particular compounds, and you must make sure the pesticide used is properly labeled. All pesticides must be handled and applied in strict accordance with the label on the pesticide container. The plant being damaged and the site where the plant is located (greenhouse) must be listed on the label. The pests that a compound is registered for are also listed on the label. The pesticides below are listed by common name and by a formulation name, which is used as an example of the formulations available. Many insecticides are now off patent, and there are new trade names available for these active ingredients. There are also mixtures of active ingredients plus synergist available that are not listed. For example, there are several formulations of pyrethrum combined with other active ingredients and synergists available in spray concentrates, aerosols and space­release canisters for the control of several pests. Some chemicals are labeled for use in low­volume spray equipment. Proper rates must be determined by applying the proper amount of active ingredient for the area treated. The rates given below are for high­volume spray equipment. Many insects are developing resistance to pesticides available on the market. Practice resistance management and rotate the insecticides used to manage a pest. With most pesticides, you should rotate the compounds used at least once during a generation time for that insect. In addition, it is desirable to rotate mode of action of compounds used. A guide to rotating modes of action is the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) classification of the different mode of action sites and a letter for subgroups. In resistance management rotations, these number/letter codes can be used to determine which compounds have different modes of action. These are listed in the table under the column heading “Mode of Action No.” (un = unknown). Some of the insecticides listed are extremely toxic. Handle with caution and use protective equipment required by the label. A minimum interval between application and reentry has been established. Make sure of the proper reentry period for the insecticide has been observed before allowing people without label­prescribed personal protective equipment to enter the treated area. These are listed in the table under the column heading “REI.” Phytotoxicity (damage to the plant as a result of the application of a chemical) is an important consideration in controlling pests of ornamentals. Phytotoxicity is generally expressed as damage to the leaves, flowers or stems and is observed as “burn” (browning of tissue), “chlorosis” (yellowing or bleaching of tissue) or modification of growth by deformation or stunting. There are many species and cultivars of ornamental plants with varying sensitivity to chemicals. Other environmental conditions, such as your particular growing conditions, will also affect phytotoxicity. You are encouraged to evaluate a pesticide for phytotoxicity on a few plants under your particular conditions before treating all plants.

SHRUB AND TREE INSECT CONTROL

NOTE: The following list of pesticides is labeled for the uses listed. However, there are different formulations of particular compounds, and you must make sure the pesticide used is properly labeled. The plant being damaged and the site where the plant is located (greenhouse) must be listed on the label. The pests that a compound is registered for are also listed on the label.

Many insects are developing resistance to currently available pesticides. Practice resistance management and rotate the insecticides used to manage a pest. With most pesticides, you should rotate the compounds used at least once during a generation time for that insect. In addition, it is desirable to rotate mode of action of compounds used. A guide to rotating modes of action is the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) classification of the different mode of action sites and a letter for subgroups. In resistance management rotations, these number/letter codes can be used to determine which compounds have different modes of action. These are listed in the table under the column heading “IRAC Mode of Action Group”  (un=unknown).

Some of the insecticides listed are extremely toxic. Handle with caution and use protective equipment required by the label. A minimum interval between application and reentry has been established. Make sure of the proper reentry period for the insecticide has been observed before allowing people without label prescribed personal protective equipment to enter the treated area. These are listed in the table under the column heading “Minimum Hours Between Application and Reentry.” Phytotoxicity (damage to the plant as the result of the application of a chemical) is an important consideration in controlling pests of ornamentals. Phytotoxicity is generally expressed as damage to the leaves, flowers, or stems and is observed as “burn” (browning of tissue), “chlorosis” (yellowing or bleaching of tissue), or modification of growth by deformation or stunting. There are many species and cultivars of ornamental plants with varying sensitivity to chemicals. Other environmental conditions, such as your particular growing conditions, will also affect phytotoxicity. You are encouraged to evaluate a pesticide for phytotoxicity on a few plants under your particular conditions before treating all plants. Insecticides listed below are identified by common chemical name. A trade name in parentheses may also be listed as a convenience for the reader. Additional trade names that may be available to homeowners are listed in the HOMEOWNER INSECTICIDE PRODUCT LIST section beginning on page 294.

All chemical information provided below is given with the understanding that no endorsement of named products is intended nor is criticism implied of similar products that are not mentioned. Individuals who use pesticides are responsible for ensuring that the intended use complies with current regulations and conforms to the product label. Before purchasing or using any pesticide, always read and carefully follow the label directions.

Aerosol sprays may provide temporary relief. Keep insects out by installing and repairing screens. Other labeled pyrethroids are also effective.

Bacillus thuringiensis is a “biopesticide” containing bacteria that kill mosquitoes and some biting flies. Place in small ponds, bird baths and ornamental pools (not swimming pools). Follow instructions for specifics of application.

Long-term control requires eliminating or cleaning mosquito breeding areas, such as discarded containers, ditches and other artificial sources of standing water. Spraying nearby vegetation may eliminate some mosquito resting sites, but some formulations may damage vegetation. Aerosols or foggers may be used for temporary relief when winds are insignificant. Use repellents on exposed body areas.

1Alternating uses of insecticides in different chemical classes can help reduce the likelihood of the pests developing resistance to one group or class of compounds. 2Formulation Designations: A = aerosol; B = bait (granular, gel or station); BR = briquet; D = dust; F = fumigant, FM = foam; G = granular; S = sprayable (concentrate or powder, some RTU formulations); WDG = water dispersible granule. 3IGR products are not typically effective against adult stage of pests. Use an adulticide to provide quicker control of pest population. 4Transport spray also contains bifenthrin; outdoor use only. 5Requires a Class 3 General Fumigation or a Class 8 Food Related Fumigation License issued by the Arkansas State Plant Board. 6Chlorfenapyr labeled for indoor use only for these pests. 7Specialized formulation – briquets. 8Termidor is labeled for outdoor use only; use other fipronil products indoors. 9Optigard is not for use against pharoah ants or carpenter ants.
