Application:<br />

Imidacloprid<br />

• Soil application: (Admire 240 / Alias 240 SC / Grapple / Grapple 2<br />

) Apply as a narrow band in-furrow. For best results,<br />

direct spray on the seed pieces in the furrow. Scout potato fields frequently, especially during warmer part of growing<br />

season. If pest populations exceed economic thresholds apply a recommended foliar insecticide with a different mode<br />

of action than imidacloprid.<br />

• Seed piece treatment: (Admire SPT / Admire 240 / Alias 240 SC / Grapple / Grapple 2<br />

) Refer to Imidacloprid in the seed<br />

treatments product pages.<br />

• Foliar application: (Admire 240 / Alias 240 SC / Grapple / Grapple 2<br />

) Apply only if insect populations exceed<br />

recommended economic thresholds. For optimum control, good coverage of the foliage is needed. A maximum of<br />

2 foliar applications may be made per crop per season. Scout fields and retreat if needed. For aphids, two applications<br />

at least seven days apart may be required to achieve control. DO NOT make a foliar application following a soil or seed<br />

treatment of the product in the same crop. Allow at least 7 days after the last application and before harvesting the<br />

crop.<br />

Insect Control<br />

How it Works:<br />

Imidacloprid is a neonicotinoid, systemic (within the plant) insecticide that works by contact or ingestion. Control period<br />

may vary due to climate and soil conditions
