PMRA has approved Danitol insecticide for use in pome and stone fruits in case spotted lanternfly is found in Canada.
The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) recently approved several minor use label expansions registration for Danitol insecticide for control of several insect pests in Canada including weevils and western raspberry fruitworm on caneberries (CG 13-07A); weevils on bushberries (13-07B); and spotted lanternfly on pome and stone fruits (CG 11-09, and CG12-09). Note: Spotted lanternfly has not been detected in Canada at this time. This submission was reviewed by PMRA in the event a pest population is detected in an agricultural field.
Danitol insecticide was already labeled for management of insects on a wide range of crops in Canada. These minor use proposals were submitted by the British Columbia Ministry of Agriculture and Food and the Ministère de l'Agriculture, des Pêcheries et de l'Alimentation du Québec as a result of minor use priorities established by growers and extension personnel.
The following is provided as an abbreviated, general outline only. Users should be making insect management decisions within a robust integrated insect management program and should consult the complete label before using Danitol insecticide.
