APPLICATION DIRECTIONS

Mix Timectin 0.15 EC T&O Insecticide/Miticide with a sufficient amount of water. Make applications as a foliar spray and ensure crops receive a thorough, uniform coverage.

Horticultural Spray Oils:

For enhanced residual control of target pests on field-grown woody ornamentals, landscape plants, and Christmas trees, add a horticultural spray oil to the Timectin 0.15 EC T&O spray mix at 0.5 to 1.0% of the spray volume. To maintain control, make repeat applications as necessary at 7-day intervals. Some plants may be sensitive to these oils. Test a small area of plants for phytotoxicity to Timectin 0.15 EC T&O mixed with horticultural spray oil. Evaluate the plants after 2 weeks before applying Timectin 0.15 EC T&O mixed with oils on a large number of plants. In addition, plant damage from treatment with such mixtures may be increased if the temperatures are very cold or very warm.

Mites including European Red Mite, Twospotted Spider Mite, Carmine Spider Mite, Southern Red Mite, Spruce Spider Mite, Tarsonemid Mites (Cyclamen and Broad Mites), Eriophyid Mites (Rust and Bud Mites)

Application Instructions:

Make applications of Timectin 0.15 EC T&O in 200 to 400 gallons of water per acre. For thorough coverage of plants, more than 400 gals. of water per acre may be required.

• Use at least 8 fl. oz. per acre if using less than 200 gals.
• Use no more than 16 fl. oz. per acre in 400 or more gals. of water (that is, add 2.5 fl. oz. Timectin 0.15 EC T&O per 100 gals. if total spray volume is 650 gals.).
• Apply when mites first appear. Make repeat applications as necessary to maintain control.
• For Tarsonemid mites, make repeat applications to newly developing tissue to maintain control.

Insects Controlled at 8 fl. oz. Timectin 0.15 EC T&O per 100 gallons:

Liriomyza Leafminers, Boxwood Leafminer

Application Instructions:

Make applications of Timectin 0.15 EC T&O in 100 to 200 gallons of water per acre. For thorough coverage of plants, more than 400 gals. of water per acre may be required.

• Use at least 8 fl. oz. per acre if using less than 100 gals.
• Use no more than 16 fl. oz. per acre in 200 or more gals. of water (that is, add 4 fl. oz. Timectin 0.15 EC T&O per 100 gals. if total spray volume is 400 gals.).
• For leafminers, apply as needed. Make repeat applications at 7-day intervals or as necessary to maintain control.
• For control of mining larvae (Boxwood leafminers), apply Timectin 0.15 EC T&O when adults are beginning to lay eggs in the new foliage.

Insects Suppressed at 8 fl. oz. Timectin 0.15 EC T&O per 100 gallons:

Aphids, Thrips, Whiteflies

Application Instructions:

Make applications of Timectin 0.15 EC T&O in 200 to 400 gallons of water per acre. For thorough coverage of plants, more than 400 gals. of water per acre may be required.

• Use at least 8 fl. oz. per acre if using less than 200 gals.
• Use no more than 16 fl. oz. per acre in 400 or more gals. of water (that is, add 2.5 fl. oz. Timectin 0.15 EC T&O per 100 gals. if total spray volume is 650 gals.).
• Make applications of Timectin 0.15 EC T&O when young, immature stages of these pests are first observed.
• Make repeat applications every 7 days for 2 or 3 weeks. Then, alternate to another insecticide that has a different mode of action than Timectin 0.15 EC T&O. Read the Resistance Management section for additional information on insecticide rotation.
• Aphids, thrips, and whiteflies are killed by direct contact with the Timectin 0.15 EC T&O spray.
