bahiagrass found in in golf courses, sod production fields, sports fields and parks 

AgriTrap is a suspension concentrate (SC), which when mixed with water according to the directions and applied by 

spray or drip methods to soil or dip methods to transplants or seed pieces, will control many major damaging insects, 

fungi and nematodes, When applying AgriTrap, follow these instructions: 

Application equipment such as tanks, spray equipment and drip lines should be cleaned thoroughly using a cleansing 

agent. Add enough water to application equipment to allow agitation. Slowly add the required amount of AgriT rap while 

continuously agitating the mixture. Add the remainder of the water until the desired volume is reached. Do not over 

agitate as excessive foaming will result. Do not add anti-foaming agent. 

1. Nematode and Disease Management 

Greenhouse and Field Application for AgriTrap on Nematodes: 

For annual food or ornamental crops established either from true seed or from vegetative seed pieces, AgriT rap is 

applied to the soil at planting as an in furrow, fine mist spray in a spray volume of 10 gallons per acre (GPA) of a 1 % 

solution (1110 gallon of fonnulated product).The materiel may be applied in-furrow using either a back pack sprayer or 

AgriTrap v8 20131126 

Page 4 of 10 
tractor-mounted sprayer. This 10 GPA in-furrow, at planting treatment has resulted in reductions in nematode 

communities associated with soybean, rice, cotton, sugarcane and potato. Consult the table below for calibration 

infonnation relative to crop row spacing and rate of AgriTrap to be applied. Calibration infonnation for 10, 20 and 30 GPA 

spray volumes is provided, as a range of spray volumes may be desirable in a preliminary trial with crops other than 

those mentioned above or in heavy clay soils. 

For vegetable and some fruit crops such as strawberry, usually established from seedling transplants, the application 

method is slightly modified, but the optimum rate and concentration remain 10 GPA of a 1% solution. In production-scale 

trials with tomato, bell pepper, cucumber and strawberry, where the crop is usually grown on rows covered with plastic 

mulch, AgriTrap is apportioned by drip irrigation or by application into the transplant holes (amount per hole detennined 

on the basis of row spacing and length) just prior to introducing the seedling . Use the attached table to determine the 

amount of AgriTrap required with different row spacing. 

This material requires proper soil moisture at the time of application. This point cannot be over -emphasized. The 

mechanism of action is based upon physical contact with and coating of the pathogen or propagule. 

Application to dry soil results in the immediate diffusion of AgriTrap away from the site of germinating seed and/or 

adsorption of the material to soil particles. If soil moisture is less than 10-15 %, irrigate before application or before 

injecting AgriTrap through drip lines to allow the material to remain active in the rhizosphere during gennination and ear1y 

root fonnation.

Field Application for AgriTrap on Turfgrass Nematodes: 

Description: 

AgriTrap is a suspension concentrate applied with standard spray application equipment in pre-plant conditions. Postplanting applications are accomplished through drenching or via sprinkler or drip irrigation systems. 

The application of AgriTrap to turf grass under experimental and field conditions has shown significant increases in plant 

growth and vigor in the presence by managing nematodes and several other soil pathogens. AgriTrap has resulted in 

greater turf grass density and root mass and a reduction of the nematode community within a few months of application. 

Turf grass Application: 

Only apply when visual turf grass damage and nematode infestation are present in any area being considered for 

application. Turf grass should be evaluated visually for quality, color and density. Nematode infestations may occur 

without causing any above ground symptoms, but typically a severely infested area will exhibit patches of yellowing 

foliage, stunting and poor growth. Potential treatment areas MUST have nematode communities confirmed prior to 

product application. Once nematodes have been qualified in the potential treatment areas, compare the density of 

nematode populations to the treatment thresholds in the table below. If any of the nematode populations exceed these 

threshold damage levels, there is sufficient reason to justify application of AgriTrap to that area. Note that damage 

threshold levels may vary somewhat. 

Pre-treatment Soil Aeration and Watering: 

Turf grass MUST BE AERATED, especially golf greens, with a hollow core aeration method before treatment to insure 

soil permeability to the AgriTrap treatment. If the soil is dry (i.e., if soil moisture content is less than 10 %), water the 

designated area for a few minutes prior to treatment to moisten, but not saturate the soil. 

AgriTrap Application: 

After determining the square-footage of the turf grass to be treated, calculate how much of 1.0% AgriTrap dilution in 

water will be needed for treatment zone. Recommended rate is 1 gallon of AgriT rap per 100 gallons of water applied to 1 

acre of established turf grass, or 950 liters of 1 %solution per hectare of turf grass. NOTE: Make sure that the AgriTrap 

dilution is well agitated just prior to application. Use appropriate spray equipment and make only one pass across the turf 

grass area. 

Post-treatment Watering: 

To properly distribute the treatment in the turf grass root zone, immediately water the treated area after application. Posttreatment water should be applied at a rate of 60 gallons (225 liters) per 1000 square feet of green surface area. NOTE: 

For the duration of the growing season, turf grass should be watered and fertilized as per normal industry standards. 

Post-treatment Phytotoxicity Assessment: 

Although phytotoxicity is a rare occurrence, visually inspect the treated turf grass area for discoloration and any other 

signs of treatment effects within one week of application. Apply to a small area before treating entire area

2. Insect and Fungi Control 

AgriTrap is a suspension concentrate (SC) which, when mixed with water according to the directions and applied directly 

to plants and trees, will control larvae or adult winged insect pests, plus some fungi, such as powdery mildew and 

Botrytis spp. 

Application Instructions - Foliar spray: 

AgriTrap is a contact product that acts primarily as a suffocant. For maximum effectiveness and physical coating of the 

pest, complete spray coverage, to run-off, of plants, trees or other supporting structures is required. 

For best results, apply AgriTrap in early morning or late afternoon when insects are less active and evaporation rate is 

minimal. 

Adjust the frequency and volume of application to maintain an effective level of control, depending upon the severity of 

infestation and the size of the object being sprayed. 

AgriTrap when used correctly can result in excellent management of target pests. 

AgriTrap is most effective when the spray solution has a pH between 5.0 and 8.5. If necessary, buffer water to achieve 

optimal range. 

Cautions: 

AgriTrap has not been tested on all plant and tree varieties under all growing conditions. In all cases, test a small 

number of plants or trees before applying AgriTrap to the entire crop. 

Do not mix anti-foaming agents with AgriTrap . 

Target pests: 

Whitefly, aphid, psyllid, leafhopper, scale, mealy bug, fungus gnat. Fall Army worm. 

Ancillary activity: powdery mildew, Botrytis spp. 

Crops: 

All protected and outdoor edible and non-edible crops. Dose rate; one gallon AgriTrap per three hundred gallons of 

water or a 0.3% solution. 

A griT rap v8 20131126 

Page 7 of 10 
Application volume; 

Protected crops apply a minimum of 80 gallons up to 125 gallons per acre of diluted product, depending on the plant 

architecture, size and pest infestation density. 

Field crops: apply a minimum of 90 gallons up to 140 gallons per acre depending on the plant architecture, size and pest 

infestation density. 

Orchards apply a minimum of 125 gallons to 210 gallons per acre depending on the tree architecture, size, and pest 

infestation density. 

Sufficient volume of spray should be used to ensure thorough coverage of plants, tree or other structures, ESPECIALLY 

the lower surfaces of all plant parts 

Application timing: 

Apply at first sign of pest activity. 

Repeat application every 7 to 21 days as required or sooner if necessary to achieve satisfactory control. 

No resistance has been reported. 

Re-entry period-4 hours. 

Crop safety/ restrictions: 

Use of AgriTrap on flowering crops is not recommended. Spray application should be directed away from flowers or not 

applied during flowering. 

Integrated Pest management systems: 

AgriTrap can be used within integrated pest management systems and has been shown to have minimal effects on 

natural enemies or pollinating bees. If using bees, hive should be closed prior to application, and reopened once the crop 

is dry. 

Patents for this product have been granted in the United States, European Union and other countries around the world. 

Drip Irrigation (Chemigation) Instructions 

General Requirements • 

1) Apply this product only through a drip system. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation 

system. 

2) Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform 

distribution of treated water. 

3) If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment 

manufacturers or other experts. 

4) 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. 

5) 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. 

Specific Requirements for Chemigation Systems Connected to Public Water Systems -

1) 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. 

2) Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone, 

backflow preventer {RPZ) or the functional equivalent in the water supply line upstream from the point of 

pesticide introduction. As an option to the RPZ, the water from the public water system should be discharged 

A griT rap v8 20131 126 

Page 8 of 10 
into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There shall be a complete physical break (air gap) between 

the outlet end of the fill pipe and the top or overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at least twice the inside diameter 

of the fill pipe. 

3) The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the 

flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. 

4) The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated 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. 

5) The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump 

when the water pump motor stops, or in cases where there is no water pump, when the water pressure 

decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected. 

6) 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 capable of being fitted 

with a system interlock. 

7) Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. 

Specific Requirements for Drip (Trickle) Chemigation • 

1) 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. 

2) The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the 

flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. 

3) The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated 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. 

4) The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump 

when the water pump motor stops. 

5) 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. 

6) 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 capable of being filled 

with a system interlock. 

Application Instructions for Chemigation • 

1) Remove scale, pesticide residues, and other foreign matter from the chemical supply tank and entire injector 

system. Flush with clean water. Failure to provide a clean tank, void of scale or residues may cause product to 

lose effectiveness or strength. 

2) Determine the treatment rates as indicated in the directions for use and make proper dilutions. Product can be 

applied continuously or at any time during the water application. 

3) Prepare a solution in the chemical tank by filling the tank with the required water and then adding product as 

required. The product will immediately go into suspension without any required agitation.
