The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) recently approved several minor use label expansion registrations for Delegate insecticide for control of cherry fruitworm on cherries in Canada. Delegate insecticide was already labeled for management of insects on a wide range of crops in Canada. This minor use proposal was submitted by the British Columbia Ministry of Agriculture and Food, BCMAF, 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 Delegate  insecticide.

Follow all other precautions, restrictions, and directions for use on the Delegate  insecticide label carefully.

For a copy of the new minor use label contact your local crops specialist, local regional supply outlet, or visit the PMRA label site http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/cps-spc/pest/registrant-titulaire/tools-outils/label-etiq-eng.php
