Application:
Delegate
• Apply by ground only in sufficient water volume to cover the entire plant using a combination of nozzles and pressure
designed to deliver thorough, even coverage with ASABE fine classification droplets. DO NOT apply through irrigation
systems.
How it Works:
Delegate is derived from the fermentation of the bacterium Saccharopolyspora spinosa, which is then chemically modified to
create the active ingredient. Spinetoram affects the insect nervous system. It does not interact with the known binding sites
of other classes of insecticides. It works through ingestion or contact with the target insects. Target insects cease feeding
within a few minutes, although death may take a few days.
Tank Mixes:
DO NOT mix this product with any other pesticide or fertilizer.
Restrictions:
• Re-entry: DO NOT enter treated field for 12 hours.
• Preharvest: DO NOT harvest within 21 days of application for wheat (spring and durum, barley, oats and rye ) or within
7 days for potato.
• Grazing: No restrictions indicated.
• Aerial Application: DO NOT apply by air.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Keep from freezing.
• Precautions: Delegate is toxic to bees, small wild mammals, aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants, and
may be toxic to certain beneficial insects exposed to direct treatment, drift or residues on flowering crops or weeds.
DO NOT apply this product to flowering crops or weeds if bees are visiting the treatment area. Minimize spray drift to
reduce harmful effects on bees, and other beneficial insects or small mammals in habitats next to the application site
such as hedgerows and woodlands.
