The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) recently announced the approval of a minor use label expansion registration for Oberon miticide for control of two-spotted spider mites on Crop Subgroup 3-07B (Green Onion subgroup). Oberon miticide was already labeled for management of insects on a wide range of crops in Canada. This minor use proposal was submitted by the Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada, Pest Management Centre (AAFC-PMC) 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 Oberon miticide.

For Ontario growers who wish a copy of the new minor use label, contact Travis Cranmer, vegetable crops specialist OMAFRA, Guelph (519) 835-3382. Or you can contact your 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
