Product Information

Initial and residual control are contingent upon thorough crop coverage. Apply with ground or 

aerial equipment using sufficient water to obtain full coverage of foliage. Apply in a minimum of 

2 gals. per acre by air or 10 gals. per acre by ground unless otherwise specified in this label. 

When foliage is dense or pest pressure is high (heavier insect or egg pressure, larger larval 

stages), use of higher application volumes and/or higher use rates may improve initial and 

residual control.

For cutworm control, Bugtox may be applied before, during, or after planting. For soilincorporated applications, use higher listed rates for improved control.
Page 7

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT

Bugtox is a Group 7 Insecticide (contains the active ingredient toxicol). Some insects are known 

to develop resistance to products used repeatedly for control. Because the development of 

resistance cannot be predicted, the use of this product should conform to resistance 

management strategies established for the use area. Consult your local or state agricultural 

authorities for details.

If resistance to this product develops in your area, this product, or other products with a similar

mode of action, may not provide adequate control. If poor performance cannot be attributed to 

improper application or extreme weather conditions, a resistant strain of insect may be present. 

If you experience difficulty with control and resistance is a reasonable cause, immediately 

consult your local company representative or agricultural advisor for the best alternative method 

of control for your area.

SPRAY DRIFT PRECAUTIONS

BUFFER ZONES

Vegetative Buffer Strip

Construct and maintain a minimum 10-foot-wide vegetative filter strip of grass or other 

permanent vegetation between the field edge and down gradient aquatic habitat (such as, but 

not limited to, lakes; reservoirs; rivers; permanent streams; marshes or natural ponds; estuaries; 

and commercial fish farm ponds).

Buffer Zone for Ground Application (groundboom, overhead chemigation, or airblast)

Do not apply within 25 feet of aquatic habitats (such as, but not limited to, lakes; reservoirs; 

rivers; permanent streams; marshes; natural ponds; estuaries; and commercial fish ponds).

Buffer Zone for Non-ULV Aerial Application

Do not apply within 150 feet of aquatic habitats (such as, but not limited to, lakes; reservoirs; 

rivers; permanent streams; marshes; natural ponds; estuaries; and commercial fish ponds).

Buffer Zone for ULV Aerial Application

Do not apply within 450 feet of aquatic habitats (such as, but not limited to, lakes; reservoirs; 

rivers; permanent streams; marshes; natural ponds; estuaries; and commercial fish ponds).

SPRAY DRIFT REQUIREMENTS 

Wind Direction and Speed

Only apply this product if the wind direction favors on-target deposition.

Do not apply when the wind velocity exceeds 15 mph.

Temperature Inversion

Do not make aerial or ground applications into temperature inversions.
Page 8

Inversions are characterized by stable air and increasing temperatures with height above the 

ground. Mist or fog may indicate the presence of an inversion in humid areas. The applicator 

may detect the presence of an inversion by producing smoke and observing a smoke layer near 

the ground surface.

Droplet Size

Use only medium or coarser spray nozzles (for ground and non-ULV aerial application) 

according to ASAE (S572) definition for standard nozzles. In conditions of low humidity and 

high temperatures, applicators should use a coarser droplet size.

Additional Requirements for Ground Applications

Wind speed must be measured adjacent to the application site on the upwind side, immediately 

prior to application.

For ground boom applications, apply using a nozzle height of no more than 4 feet above the 

ground or crop canopy.

For airblast applications, turn off outward pointing nozzles at row ends and when spraying the 

outer two rows. To minimize spray loss over the top in orchard applications, spray must be 

directed into the canopy.

Additional Requirements for Aerial Applications

The spray boom should be mounted on the aircraft as to minimize drift caused by wingtip or 

rotor vortices. The minimum practical boom length should be used and must not exceed 75% of 

the wing span or 80% rotor diameter.

Flight speed and nozzle orientation must be considered in determining drop size. 

Spray must be released at the lowest height consistent with pest control and flight safety. Do 

not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the crop canopy unless a greater height 

is required for aircraft safety.

When applications are made with a cross-wind, the swath will be displaced downward. The 

applicator must compensate for this displacement at the downwind edge of the application area 

by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind.

TANK MIX APPLICATION

When tank mixing with any other agricultural products, always add Bugtox last. Fill the tank 

with 1

/2 - 2/3 volume of the mixing diluent. Make sure all other products are fully dispersed in the 

mixing diluent before adding the specified rate of Bugtox to the tank. Add the remainder of the 

mixing diluent volume. It is recommended that mixing and spray equipment have continuous 

agitation for best results. Follow the precautions and limitations of the most restricted product in 

the tank mixture.
Page 9

While Bugtox has good flexibility for tank mixing with other agricultural products, a jar test for 

physical compatibility is recommended for untried mixtures, using proper ratios and mixing 

sequences of all ingredients to be included in the mixture.

Bugtox is an aqueous based formulation. It is recommended that no type of non-emulsifiable oils 

be used in combination with Bugtox. If adjuvants are used, use only:

• Nonionic Surfactant (NIS) containing at least 75% surface agent, or

• Nonphytotoxic Crop Oil Concentrate (COC), including once-refined Vegetable Oil 

Concentrate (VOC), or,

• Methylated Sunflower Oils (MSO) containing a minimum of 17% emulsifier.

Adjuvants other than NIS or COC may be used providing the product meets the following 

criteria:

1. Contains only EPA exempt ingredients.

2. Is nonphytotoxic to the target crop.

3. Is compatible in mixture. (May be established through a jar test.)

4. Is supported locally for use with Bugtox on the target crop through proven field trials and 

through university and extension recommendations.

In addition, the following may be used as diluents:

• Crop Oil Concentrate

• Methylated Sunflower Oils

• Urea-Ammonium Nitrate

It is recommended that the following not be used in combination with Bugtox as diluents or 

adjuvants:

• Nonemulsifiable oils,

• Diesel Fuel

• Straight Mineral Oil

CHEMIGATION

Sprinkler Irrigation Application

Apply Bugtox at rates and timing described elsewhere in this label. As local recommendations 

differ, consult your local State Extension Service or other local experts for recommendations on 

adjuvant or diluent types, (see TANK MIX APPLICATION) rates and mixing instructions. These 

recommendations should be proven, through university and extension field trials, to be effective 

with Bugtox applied by chemigation.

Check the irrigation system to insure uniform application of water to all areas. Thorough 

coverage of foliage is required for good control. Good agitation in the pesticide supply tank 

should be maintained prior to and during the entire application period.

Apply by injecting the specified rate of Bugtox into the irrigation system using a metering device 

that will introduce a constant flow and by distributing the product to the target area in 0.1-0.2 

acre-inch of water. In general, use the least amount of water required for proper distribution and 
Page 10

coverage. It is recommended that the product be injected into the main irrigation line ahead of a 

right angle turn in the line to insure adequate dispersion or mixing in the irrigation water. Once 

the application is completed, flush the entire irrigation and injection system with clean water 

before stopping the system.

In addition to the above recommendations, if application is being made during a normal irrigation 

set of a stationary sprinkler, the recommended rate of Bugtox for the area covered should be 

injected into the system only during the end of the irrigation set for sufficient time to provide 

adequate coverage and product distribution.

It is not recommended that Bugtox be applied through an irrigation system connected to a public 

water system. Public water system means a system for the provision to the public of piped 

water for human consumption, if such system has at least 15 service connections or regularly 

serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the year.

Use Precautions - Sprinkler Irrigation Applications

• Apply this product only through sprinkler irrigation systems including center pivot, lateral 

move, end tow, side (wheel) roll, traveler, big gun, solid set, or hand move. Do not apply this 

product through any other type of irrigation system.

• Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from nonuniform distribution of treated water.

• If you have any questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service 

Specialists, equipment manufacturers, or other experts.

• Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide 

application to a public water system, unless the pesticide label prescribed safety devices for 

public water systems are in place.

• A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation or 

under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make 

necessary adjustments should the need arise.

• The system must contain a functional check-valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure 

drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination 

from back-flow.

• The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing checkvalve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.

• The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoidoperated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system 

interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation 

system is either automatically or manually shut down.

• The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the 

pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops.
Page 11

• The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which will stop 

the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide 

distribution is adversely affected.

• Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., 

diaphragm pump), effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with 

pesticides and are capable of being fitted with a system interlock.

• Any alternatives to the above required safety devices must conform to the list of EPAapproved alternative devices.

• Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment or nonuniform distribution of treated water.

• Do not apply through chemigation systems connected to public water systems.

Remarks:

• Apply as required by scouting. Timing and frequency of application should be based upon insect populations reaching 

locally determined economic thresholds. Determine the need for repeat applications, usually at intervals of 5 - 7 days, by 

scouting.

• Bugtox can be safely used when propanil products are being used for weed control.

• Apply by air or by ground equipment using sufficient water to obtain full coverage of foliage. When applying by air, apply in a 

minimum of 2 gals. of water (or total carrier volume) per acre , but ensure sufficient volume is used to provide adequate 

coverage. In addition, adding an emulsified crop oil (e.g., 1 pt. per acre) when lower aerial application volumes are used is 

recommended to help improve coverage, reduce evaporation and improve efficacy.

• For control of rice water weevil in dry-seeded rice, make a foliar application as indicated by scouting for the presence of 

adults and/or feeding scars, usually within a time-frame of 0-5 days after permanent flood establishment. Do not exceed 10 

days from starting permanent flood until insecticide application unless scouting indicates weevils have not been previously 

present. Adults may also be treated at later stages of rice development to reduce overwintering populations.

• For control of rice water weevil in water-seeded rice, make the first foliar application after pinpoint flood as indicated by 

scouting for the presence of adults and/or feeding scars, usually when rice has emerged 0.5 inch above the waterline. 

Under conditions of prolonged migration into the field, start field scouting for rice water weevil adults and/or feeding scars 3-5 

days after the initial treatment and, if needed, apply a second application within 7-10 days of the first application. Adults may 

also be treated at later stages of rice development to reduce overwintering populations.

• California: In addition to above directions for control of rice water weevil in water seeded rice, Bugtoxmay be applied at the 1-

3 leaf growth stage, with the majority at the 2 leaf growth stage. Adults are vulnerable on levees and in the water. Larvae 

are vulnerable while feeding on the leaf prior to entering the soil. Monitor for adults, based upon field history and density of 

population. Monitor field edges and levee areas for adults. Treat in the following manner: a) spray the inside perimeter of 

the field, or b) spray the entire field.

• Greenbug is known to have many biotypes. Bugtox may only provide suppression. If satisfactory control is not achieved 

with the first application of Karate Insecticide with Zeon Technology, a resistant biotype may be present. Use alternate 

chemistry for control. 

• For control of stem borers, scout fields, when rice growth is near panicle differentiation, for early symptoms of damaging 

populations exhibited as discoloration (orange–tan) around the junction of the leaf sheath and leaf blade which is caused by 

feeding of young larvae within the sheath. Applications must be made before larvae bore into rice stems. Make the first 

application at panicle differentiation to 2 inch panicle for partial control. Make the second application at boot to heading for 

maximum control. All rice varieties are susceptible to stem borer damage, but Cocodrie and Priscilla are particularly 

susceptible.
