Tarnished plant bug
The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) has approved several minor use label expansion registrations for UP-Cyde insecticide for control of spotted wing drosophila on peaches and plums to complete the Stone Fruit Crop group (CG12-09); crucifer flea beetle on beets and daïkon radish; aster leafhoppers on carrots; and tarnished plant bug on Brassica head and stem vegetables (CG 5-15) in Canada.
Josh Mosiondz, minor use coordinator, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness, explains that Up-Cyde insecticide was already labeled for management of insects on a wide range of crops in Canada. These minor use proposals were submitted by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Agribusiness, OMAFA, and the Ministère de l'Agriculture, des Pêcheries et de l'Alimentation (MAPAQ) 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 UP-Cyde insecticide.
Crop(s) | Target | Rate (mL product / ha) | Application Information | PHI (days) |
CG 12-09 (Stone Fruit) | Spotted Wing Drosophila | 245 - 285 | Timing of applications should be based on the presence of adult pest (flies) as determined by local monitoring. Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the REI of 12 hours. Allow a minimum 7 days between treatments. Do not apply more than three treatments. Use sufficient water for thorough coverage | 2 |
Beets and oriental radish (daïkon) | Crucifer Flea Beetle | 200 | Apply in 100 to 500 L/ha of water when insects are first observed. | 3 |
Carrots | Aster Leafhopper | 200 | Apply in 100 to 500 L/ha of water when damage or insects are first observed. | 25 |
Brassica head and stem vegetables (crop group 5-13)*
| Tarnished Plant Bug | 200 | Apply in 100 to 500 L/ha of water when damage or insects are first observed. Add AGRAL 90 surfactant at 0.03% v/v (300 mL/1000 L of spray mix). Do not apply to muck soils. | 3 |
Follow all other precautions, restrictions, and directions for use on the UP-Cyde insecticide label carefully.
