FOR USE AS FOLIAR APPLICATION

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Turf: Apply 1.3 to 64 fluid ounces (fl oz) of NewPro per 1000 square feet of turf prior to 

planting and subsequently in 3 to 4 week intervals. Use the higher application rate on sites 

with high lance and sting nematode populations (greater than 50 lance and sting nematodes 

per 0.4 cup [100cm3] of soil) or areas with extensive nematode damage such as stunted plants, 

dying plants, or heavily stunted root systems compared to unaffected plants in the same field.

For best control, a minimum of 3 sequential applications is required. Monthly applications 

throughout the year may help maintain lance and sting nematode populations below economic 

threshold levels.

NewPro may be diluted in water to attain proper distribution across the area to be treated.

This product may be applied using standard calibrated ground spray-application equipment 

and incorporated to a 4-inch depth prior to bed formation or applied via chemigation through 

the irrigation system after bed formation (pre-planting). Agitation in the mix tank is 

recommended for any application requiring dilution of the formulated product with water 

prior to application. When mixing, fill the tank one-half full with water, add NewPro slowly 

to the tank with hydraulic or mechanical agitation, and continue to fill with water. For diluted 

product applications, apply product in the appropriate amount of water to treat the root-zone 

of the crop without flushing the product beyond the root-zone of the crop (this can vary with 

soil type and crop stage). 

Apply enough water following all applications to move the Pasteuria spores into the turf rootzone and to flush the irrigation lines of any remaining product. After application of NewPro 

and subsequent treatment with water, minimizing irrigation for several weeks following 

treatment may improve lance and sting nematode control. For areas under intense irrigation, 

repeat applications may be necessary to maintain lance and sting nematode populations below 

an economic threshold.

DAYS TO HARVEST

There are no restrictions on applying NewPro up to the time of harvest.

CHEMIGATION

Basic Requirements:

1) Apply this product only through sprinkler (including center pivot, lateral move, end 

tow, side (wheel) roll, traveler, big gun, solid set, or hand move) and drip (trickle) 

irrigation systems. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation 

system.

2) Crop injury or lack of effectiveness 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 any necessary adjustments should the need arise.

Requirements for Chemigation Systems Connected to Public Water Systems:

1) Public water supply 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 25 individuals daily at least 60 days throughout the year.

2) Chemigation systems connected to the public water systems must contain a functional,

reduced-pressure zone (RPZ), backflow preventer or the functional equivalent in the 

water supply upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. As an option to the 

RPZ, the water from the public water system should be discharged into a reservoir 

tank prior to pesticide introduction. There shall be a complete physical break (air gap) 

between the flow 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, 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.

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.

Requirements for Sprinkler 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 fitted with a system interlock.

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

Requirements for Drip 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.

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.
