APPLICATION INFORMATION
KONTOS is a Suspension Concentrate formulation. Following application to plant foliage, KONTOS is fully systemic, moving through phloem and xylem to all plant tissues including new shoot, leaf and root growth. Spray adjuvants with spreading and penetrating characteristics may improve leaf uptake and systemic concentration of active ingredient. The active ingredient contained in KONTOS is active primarily by ingestion. Fecundity of adult insects and mites may be reduced. Make applications as preventative treatments or to coincide with early threshold levels in developing insect and mite populations. KONTOS can be applied by ground equipment (including hand-held application equipment) or through chemigation.
