### PRODUCT USE INFORMATION Phyllom grubGONE! Is a broad-spectrum biolog ical insecticide
. When applied at label rates, it is active against annual white grubs including Asiatic garden beetle (Ma/adera castanea), European chafer (Rhizotroqus majalis) , green June beetle (Cotinis nitida) , Japanese beetle (Popillia japonica), May or June beetle (Phy/lophaga sp.), northern masked chafer (Cyclocephala borealis), oriental beetle (Anomala orienta/is) and southern masked chafer (Cyc/ocephala lurida)

. Rainfall or irrigation causes the active ingredient of Phyllom grubGONE! to be released from the granule. Once released , it is carried into the soil & root zone
. I n the soil, Phyllom grubGONE! will control annual white grubs upon ingestion of the Bt protein. Mortality varies with larval size (in star) , grub species , and dose consumed

. 

### APPLICATION TO TURFGRASS Sites of Applicati on: Phyllom grubGONEI can be used for applications to landscape and recreational turf grasses and ornamental plants including on golf course greens, tees , collars , roughs, fairways etc, residential lawns, commercial grounds (i.e., office and shopping complexes , airports), parks, schools, playgrounds , athletic fields, day care facilities , pet care facilities, cemetaries and sod farms and other turfg rass covered areas

### Application Timing: Phyllom grubGONE! is effective when applied at label rates to help prevent and control annual wh ite grubs

. To help prevent annual wh ite grubs, apply Phyllom grubGONE! up to 14 days before the historical peak of ad ult fl ight for the targeted species

. Irrigation or moderate rai nfall shortly after application will improve performance by moving Phyllom grubGONE! into the root zone where grubs feed

Resistance Management: Phyllom grubGONE ! is a biological insecticide (Group 11 Insecticide), which is not known to be cross-resistant to any other class of insecticide

. However, in sect pests are known to develop resistance to products used repeatedly

. Because res istance development cannot 

# Page 5 of6be predicted, the use of Phyllom grubGONEI should conform to sound resistance management strategies established for the crop and use area
. Strategies should i nclude rotation of treatments w ith d ifferent modes of acti on , limitation of the number of su ccessive generations of the target pest being treated with the same compound , and adherence to label d irections for use
. Consult your local pest control advi sor or extension office for additional methods for preventing resistance development. Phyllom encou rages respo nsi bl e produ ct stewardshi p to ensure effective long-term control of the insect pests on this label.
