The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) recently announced the approval of an Emergency Use Registration for Success insecticide for suppression of cabbage maggot on rutabaga in Ontario and Quebec ONLY from June 8th, 2023 – June 7th, 2024. Success insecticide was already labeled for management of cabbage maggot on rutabaga in Canada using a foliar application however the Emergency Use Registration allows for use of Success as a soil drench in addition to the foliar application to target maggots in the root zone. This Emergency Use Registration was led and submitted by 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 Success insecticide.
