PRODUCT INFORMATION

HGW86 GH & N insect control is a suspension concentrate

that may be applied for insect control on ornamental

plants/shrubs/trees and vegetable transplants in greenhouses, nurseries, interior plantscapes, lath and shadehouses. HGW86 GH & N insect control can be applied as a

foliar spray, a soil broadcast spray, a soil drench, soil

injection and via chemigation. When applied as a foliar

spray, the product will have translaminar movement and be

locally systemic providing residual efficacy of foliar insect

pests. When HGW86 GH & N insect control is applied to

the root system of plants, it will be translocated upward in

the plant due to its systemic activity. Systemic upward

movement in herbaceous plants will be quicker than in those

of woody plants, such as trees and shrubs. Soil applications

should be made prior to anticipated pest infestation to allow

adequate systemic movement and to achieve optimum levels

of control.

HGW86 GH & N insect control is in GROUP 28 of the

EPA's Insecticide and Acaricide Groups Based on Target

Site of Action (EPA PR Notice 2001-5) and may be used in

rotational resistance management programs.

HGW86 GH & N insect control must be diluted with water

before application.

Consult your Cooperative Extension Service specialist or

pest control advisor for regionally specific information

regarding application timing.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS:

Application Equipment Preparation

Application equipment must be clean and free of previous

pesticide deposits before mixing HGW86 GH & N insect

control.

Mixing Directions:

1. Use clean, well maintained and properly calibrated application equipment.

2. Fill sprayer tank 1/4 to 1/2 full of water.

3. Shake the container of HGW86 GH & N insect control

well before pouring.

4. Then add HGW86 GH & N insect control directly to the

sprayer tank.

5. Mix thoroughly to fully disperse the insecticide and

continue agitation to keep the insecticide in suspension.

Use mechanical or hydraulic agitation. Do not use air

agitation.

6. It is recommended that the mixture not be stored in the

spray or mix tank overnight.

Tank-mixtures:

HGW86 GH & N insect control may be tank-mixed with

other pesticides. When tank-mixing HGW86 GH & N insect

control with other pesticides, observe all precautions and

limitations on each separate product label. Do not exceed

label dosage rates. HGW86 GH & N insect control may not

be mixed with any product containing a label prohibition

against such mixing. The physical compatibility of HGW86

GH & N insect control will vary with different sources of

pesticide products and local cultural practices. For a tankmixture test, prepare on a small scale (pint or quart jar)

using the proper proportions of pesticides and water to

ensure the physical compatibility of the mixture. Always

follow the tank mix instructions of the product label that is

most restrictive.

Tank-mixing Sequence:

Add different formulation types in the sequence indicated

below. Allow time for complete mixing and dispersion after

the addition of each product.

1. Water soluble bags

2. Water dispersible granules

3. Wettable powders

4. HGW86 GH & N insect control and other water-based

suspension concentrates

5. Water soluble concentrates

6. Oil-based suspension concentrates

7. Emulsifiable concentrates

8. Adjuvants, surfactants, oils

9. Soluble fertilizers

10.Drift retardants

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT CLEANING

Prior to application, start with clean, well maintained application equipment. Immediately following application, thoroughly clean all application equipment to reduce the risk of

forming hardened deposits that might become difficult to

remove. Drain application equipment. Thoroughly rinse

application equipment and flush hoses, boom and nozzles

with clean water. Clean all other associated application

equipment. Take all necessary safety precautions when

cleaning equipment. Do not clean equipment near wells,

water sources or desirable vegetation. Dispose of waste

rinse water in accordance with local regulations.

APPLICATION PROCEDURES AND SPRAY

EQUIPMENT

HGW86 GH & N insect control readily mixes with water

and may be used in many different types of application

equipment and applied to either the foliage or root system.

Mix product with the required amount of water and apply as

desired dependent upon the selected use pattern. 

SPRAY DRIFT REDUCTION MANAGEMENT 

Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area

intended for treatment. The interaction of many equipment

and weather related factors determine the potential for spray

drift. The applicator is responsible for considering all of

these factors when making application decisions. Avoiding

spray drift is the responsibility of the applicator.

Importance of Droplet Size: An important factor influencing drift is droplet size. Select nozzles and pressure that

deliver medium spray droplets as indicated in nozzle manufacturer’s catalogs and in accordance with ASAE Standard

S-572. Nozzles that deliver coarse spray droplets may be

used to reduce spray drift provided spray volume per acre

(GPA) is increased to maintain crop coverage. For aerial

application, spray should be released at the lowest possible

height consistent with good pest control and flight safety.

Applications more than 10 feet above the crop canopy

should be avoided. Low humidity and high temperature

increase the evaporation rate of spray droplets and therefore 
4

the likelihood of spray drift to aquatic areas. Avoid spraying

during conditions of low humidity and/or high temperature.

Wind Speed Restrictions: Drift potential increases at wind

speeds of less than 3 mph (due to inversion potential) or

more than 10 mph. However, many factors, including

droplet size, canopy and equipment specifications determine

drift potential at any given wind speed. Do not apply when

winds are greater than 15 mph and avoid gusty and windless

conditions. Avoiding applications when wind direction is

toward an aquatic area can reduce risk exposure to sensitive

aquatic areas.

Restrictions During Temperature Inversions: Do not

make aerial or ground applications during temperature

inversions. Drift potential is high during temperature inversions. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing,

which causes small suspended droplets to remain close to

the ground and move laterally in a concentrated cloud.

Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing

temperature with altitude and are common on nights with

limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to

form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning.

Their presence can be indicated by ground fog. However, if

fog is not present, the movement of smoke from a ground

source can also identify inversions. Smoke that layers and

moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind

conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves

upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air

mixing.

FOLIAR APPLICATIONS

Foliar treatment application rates are listed in Table 1. Mix

the appropriate amount HGW86 GH & N insect control

with the required amount of water and apply as a full

coverage foliar spray to control the selected target pest.

Foliar applications offer locally systemic activity against

insect pests. Repeat treatment as necessary to maintain

control using higher application rates as pest pressure and

foliage area increases while following resistance management recommendations. Certain plant species or cultivars

may be sensitive to the final spray solution. If local experience is not available, then a small number of plants should

be treated and observed for phytotoxicity for at least one

week before making an application to the entire planting.

When making foliar applications to plants or crop with

dense canopy or with hard to wet foliage such as holly, ivy,

or pine, the addition of a spreader sticker is recommended.

Use sufficient water volume to provide thorough and

uniform coverage. Avoid making applications where

uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where excessive

spray drift can occur. If concentrate or mist type spray

equipment is used, an equivalent amount of product should

be used on the spray areas as would be used in a dilute

solution. 

Restriction: Do not exceed a total of 32 fluid ounces

(equivalent to 0.42 lb of active ingredient) of product per

acre per year. 

BROADCAST APPLICATIONS 

Broadcast applications of HGW86 GH & N insect control

may be applied for white grub, annual bluegrass weevils,

billbugs, chinch bugs (suppression), turf caterpillars,

European crane flies, and spittlebugs in grassy, weedy, or

bare soil areas. Broadcast application rates for these areas

are presented in Table 2. Apply in sufficient water to

uniformly cover the area being treated (a minimum of 2

gallons per 1,000 square feet is recommended). Irrigate

immediately after application or allow rainfall to move the

product into the soil. Use properly calibrated application

equipment that will produce a uniform, coarse droplet spray,

using a low pressure setting to eliminate off target drift.

HGW86 GH & N insect control may be applied either

before planting or after plants have been established.

Restriction: Do not exceed a total of 32 fluid ounces (equivalent to 0.42 lb of active ingredient) of product per acre per

year in soil broadcast applications.

APPLICATION TIMING

White Grubs: Apply HGW86 GH & N insect control from

[April][May][June] to [early] September for preventative

and early curative control of listed white grub species. The

need for an application may be based on historical monitoring of the site, previous records or experiences, current

season adult trapping or other methods. Irrigate turf immediately after application or allow rainfall to move the

product into the soil.

Annual Bluegrass Weevil: Apply HGW86 GH & N insect

control when overwintered adult annual bluegrass weevils

are observed in late April or early May to prevent damage

from first generation larvae in late-May and June. An application of HGW86 GH & N insect control at this time will

also provide white grub control.

Billbugs: Apply HGW86 GH & N insect control when

overwintered adult billbugs are first observed. This will

usually occur in late April or early May in regions with

cool-season turfgrasses. An application of HGW86 GH & N

insect control at this time will also provide white grub

control.

Chinch Bugs: For suppression of chinch bugs, apply

HGW86 GH & N insect control before eggs hatch.

European Crane Fly: Apply HGW86 GH & N insect

control between July and November to control the fall

generation of European crane fly larvae in turfgrass. An

application of HGW86 GH & N insect control in early July

will also provide excellent white grub control. The higher

rate listed in Table 1 may be required to achieve control

when applications are made in November.

Spittlebugs: HGW86 GH & N insect control will provide

control of two-lined spittlebug when applications are made

in spring or summer.

Turf Caterpillars: HGW86 GH & N insect control will

provide excellent curative and residual caterpillar control in

turfgrass. To ensure optimum control, delay watering (irrigation) or mowing for 24 hours after application. Mowing

vegetation to lowest possible height will ensure more

consistent control. Apply in sufficient water to uniformly

cover the area being treated (a minimum of 2 gallons per

1,000 square feet is recommended for grassy, weedy, or

bare soil areas).

CONTAINER APPLICATIONS

Soil Media

Soil media applications of HGW86 GH & N insect control

can be made to containerized plants to control whiteflies
and other ornamental pests. Application to soil media of

containerized plants is presented in Table 3. It is recommended to only apply to moist soil media and not apply to

dry or saturated soil media. For optimal performance, do

not apply drench to soil media until roots from transplanting

have grown. Do not leach treated soil media for at least 7

days after application or performance may be reduced.

Heavy rainfall or excessive irrigation after application could

reduce insect control performance. In general, higher rates

will be needed to control insect pests on woody plants as

compared to those on herbaceous plants. 

IRRIGATION SYSTEMS (CHEMIGATION)

APPLICATIONS

HGW86 GH & N insect control may be applied by injection

into an irrigation system, either alone or in combination

with other pesticides or chemicals that are registered for

application through irrigation systems. Application dosages

are presented in Table 3 below. Dilution ratios are normally

1:100 to 1:200, depending on the system. Apply this product

only through microirrigation (individual spaghetti tube),

drip irrigation, overhead irrigation, ebb and flood irrigation,

or motorized calibrated irrigation equipment. Do not apply

through any other type of irrigation system. Lack of effectiveness can result from non-uniform distribution of treated

water. If you have questions about calibration, you should

contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment

manufacturers, or other experts. 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.

Using Water from Public Water Systems

DO NOT APPLY HGW86 GH & N INSECT CONTROL

THROUGH ANY IRRIGATION SYSTEM PHYSICALLY

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 per year. HGW86 GH & N insect control may be

applied through irrigation systems which may be supplied

by a public water system only if the water from the public

water system is discharged 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 to

top or overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at least twice the

inside diameter of the fill pipe. Before beginning chemigation, always make sure that the air gap exists and that there

is no blockage of the overflow of the reservoir tank. Any

irrigation system using water supplied from a public water

system must also meet the following requirements:

Operating Instructions for All Recommended Types of

Irrigation Systems

1. The system must be calibrated to uniformly apply the

rates specified. If you have questions about calibration,

you should contact State Extension Service specialists,

equipment manufacturers, or other experts.

2. 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 backflow.

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 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.

5. The system must contain functional interlocking controls

to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump

when the water pump motor stops.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the

area intended.

HGW86 GH & N insect control should be applied under the

schedule specified in the specific use recommendations, not

according to the irrigation schedule unless the events

coincide. In general, set the equipment to apply the

minimum amount of water per acre. Run the system at 86 -

90% of the manufacturer's maximum rated travel speed.

The following calibration and application techniques are

provided for user reference, but do not constitute a warranty

of fitness for application through sprinkler irrigation

equipment. Users should check with state and local regulatory agencies for potential use restrictions before applying

any agricultural chemical through sprinkler irrigation

equipment.

IN-GROUND SOIL DRENCH & INJECTION 

APPLICATIONS

HGW86 GH & N insect control is a systemic product and

will be translocated upward into the plant from root uptake.

Soil treatment application rates are listed in Table 4. To

assure optimum effectiveness, the product must be placed

where the growing portion of the target plant can absorb the

active ingredient. For this reason, basal application within

one to three feet of the root flare of trees and shrubs is

recommended. Application can be made by soil injection,

soil drenches and soil broadcast sprays. When making soil

applications to plants with woody stems, systemic activity

will be delayed until the active ingredient is translocated

throughout the plant. In some cases, this delay could be 60

days or longer. For this reason, applications should be made

prior to anticipated pest infestation to achieve optimum

levels of control.

5
The calculations for soil injection/drench applications of

HGW86 GH & N insect control involve five easy steps:

Step 1: Calibrate the application equipment to determine its

flow rate in gallons per minute.

Step 2: Select an injecting/drenching volume per inch of

tree diameter at breast height (DBH) or foot of shrub height.

Step 3: Refer to the Table 5 below to determine the amount

of time that is required to deliver the desired volume per

injection/drench site. The example highlighted in Table 5

shows that 10 seconds are required per inch of tree DBH or

foot of shrub height when injecting/drenching 1 quart of

solution per site using a flow rate of 1.5 gallons per minute.

Step 4: Determine how much solution to mix.

Step 5: Refer to the Table 6 below to determine the amount

of HGW86 GH & N insect control that must be mixed in the

desired volume of water based on the injection volume identified above. 

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT (IPM)

PROGRAMS

HGW86 GH & N insect control is recommended for IPM

programs in greenhouses and nurseries because it does not

directly impact natural arthropod predator and parasitoid

populations including ladybird beetles, lacewings, minute

pirate bugs and predatory mites. The feeding behavior of

predatory beneficial arthropods will aid in extending natural

control of other insect and mite pests and will reduce the

possibility of secondary pest outbreaks. HGW86 GH & N

insect control will reduce the target pest species that may

serve as a food source for beneficial arthropods. If HGW86

GH & N insect control is tank-mixed with a product that

negatively impacts beneficial arthropods, then the full

benefit of HGW86 GH & N insect control to the IPM

program may not be realized.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS

Some insects are known to develop resistance to products

used repeatedly for control. When this occurs, the labeled

dosages fail to suppress the pest population below threshold

levels. Because the development of resistance cannot be

predicted, the use of this product should conform to resistance management strategies established for the use area.

These strategies may include incorporation of cultural and

biological control practices, alternation of active classes of

insecticides on succeeding generations and targeting the

most susceptible life stage. Consult your local Cooperative

Extension Service specialist or pest control advisor for the

latest information on resistance management in your area or

crop.

1 Do not apply more than 32 fluid ounces (equivalent to 0.42 lb of active ingredient) of product per acre per year.

2 Non-bearing fruit and nut trees are those trees that will not bear fruit or nuts for one year after application.

3 Vegetable transplants include: fruiting vegetables, leafy vegetables, and tuberous and corm vegetables.

4 Apply product in sufficient volume of water to wet the potting medium, without the loss of liquid from bottom of container. Follow application with

moderate irrigation. Irrigate carefully during the next 10 days in order to avoid loss of active ingredient from the bottom of the container. 5 Bring a minimum of 10 containers up to a field capacity, let soil media dry, then bring containers back to field capacity. Multiply the amount of water

needed to bring back soil media in container to field capacity by the number of pots to be treated. Add this volume of water to the minimum amount of

water needed to flood the area to be treated. 

6 A 1:100 injection ratio (1 part injector tank solution:100 parts irrigation water) is recommended. Irrigation system should be calibrated to deliver 3-4 fl

oz of dilute solution per gallon of soil media.
