prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs, ditches and wetlands.
Agri-Mek is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment or residues on flowering crops and weeds. DO NOT apply this
product or allow drift to flowering crops and weeds if bees are visiting the treatment area.

Assail
• Ground application only. DO NOT apply by air.
• Apply with a minimum finished spray volume of 80 litres per acre. For best results uniform spray coverage of the host
plants is important.

or for adult stages of the Colorado potato beetle. Residual control will depend on environmental factors, plant growth,
application rate and level of insect infestation.
Insect Control
How it Works:
Assail is a neonicotinoid insecticide that works by contact or ingestion. It has an anti-feedant effect that can prevent pest
damage to host plants prior to the death of the insect. This product rapidly degrades in the soil with no carryover effects.
