PRODUCT INFORMATION 

beetleGONEITM is a biological insecticide in a water dispersible formula with a high level of activity 

against certain beetle pests, including those in the families Buprestidae, Scarabaeidae, and 

Curculionidae. The active ingredient of beetleGONEI will control certain beetles upon ingestion of 

treated foliage. Susceptible beetles will cease feeding within hours of ingestion and typically die within 

5 days. 

Application: 

Apply beetleGONEI by pressurized backpack, ground or aerial application equipment with quantities 

of water sufficient to provide thorough coverage of plant foliage to be protected. The amount of water 

needed per acre will depend upon site or amount of foliage, weather, spray equipment, and local 

experience. Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. 

Mixing: 

Fill sprayer or mixing tank half full of water. Begin agitation and pour BeetleGONEI into water while 

maintaining continuous agitation. Add other compatible spray material (if any) and balance of water. 

Agitate as necessary to maintain suspension. It is not recommended to allow diluted mixture to remain 

in the tank for more than 24 hours. 

Page 2 of 10 
To improve dispersion and adhesion of the spray deposits for difficult to wet foliage or plant surfaces, 

use an approved spreader-sticker. Combinations with commonly used spray tank adjuvants are 

generally not deleterious to beetleGONEI, if the mix is used promptly. Before mixing in the spray tank, 

identify possible problems with physical compatibility by mixing all components in a small container in 

proportionate quantities. 

AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION INFORMATION 

GENERAL: Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator 

(specifically, see SENSITIVE AREAS section for the requirement regarding spray drift). The 

interactions of many equipment and weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. 

The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making 

decisions. Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed. 

Do not apply directly to aquatic habitats (such as, but not limited to, lakes, reservoirs, rivers, streams, 

marshes, ponds, estuaries, and commercial fish ponds). 

INFORMATION ON DROPLET SIZE: Use only medium or coarser spray nozzles according to ASAE 

(S572) definition for standard nozzles. In conditions of low humidity and high temperatures, applicators 

should use a coarser droplet size. The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large 

droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that will provide sufficient 

coverage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if 

applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see Wind, 

Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions). 

CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE: Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical 

spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. Pressure - Do not exceed the 

nozzle manufacturer's specified pressures. For many nozzle types, lower pressure produces larger 

droplets. When high flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing 

pressure. Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage. 

Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the airstream produces 

larger droplets than other orientations and is the recommended practice. Significant deflection from 

horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential. Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is 

designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger 

droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the 

largest droplets and the lowest drift. 

BOOM WIDTH: For aerial applications, the boom width must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% 

of the rotary blade. 

APPLICATION HEIGHT: Do not make applications at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of 

the largest plants unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications at the 

lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. If application includes 

a no-spray zone, do not release spray at a height greater than 1 0 feet above the ground or crop 

canopy. 

SWATH ADJUSTMENT: When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced 

downward. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for 

this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should 

increase with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc.). 

WIND: Only apply this product if the wind direction favors on-target deposition. Do not apply when the 

wind velocity exceeds 15 mph. Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 - 10 mph. However, 

many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given speed. 

Application should be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. 

NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind 

patterns and how they affect spray drift. 

TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY: When making applications in low relative humidity, set up 

equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most 

severe when conditions are both hot and dry. 

TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS: Do not apply during a temperature inversion because drift potential is 

high. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small, suspended droplets to 

remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light 

variable winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing 

temperatures 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, inversions can also be identified by the 

movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and 

Page 3 of 10 
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. 

SENSITIVE AREAS: The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent 

sensitive areas (e.g. bodies of water. known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target 

crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas). 

CHEMIGATION APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS 

beetleGONEI may be used alone or in combination with other spray materials. Fill mixing tank half full 

of water. Begin agitation and pour beetleGONEI into water while maintaining continuous agitation. 

Add other compatible spray material (if any) and balance of water. Agitate as necessary to maintain 

suspension. It is not recommended to allow diluted mixture to remain in the mixing tank for more than 

24 hours. 

Then set the sprinkler to deliver a minimum of 0.1 to 0.3 inch of water per acre. Start sprinkler and 

uniformly inject the suspension of beetleGONEI into the irrigation water line so as to deliver the 

desired rate of beetleGONEI per acre. Inject the suspension of beetleGONEI with a positive 

displacement pump into the main line ahead of a right angle turn to ensure adequate mixing. 

beetleGONEI is to be metered continuously for the duration of the water application. If you have 

questions about calibration, you should contact your state Extension Service specialists, equipment 

manufacturers or other experts. 

To improve dispersion and adhesion of the spray deposits for difficult to wet foliage or plant surfaces, 

use an approved spreader-sticker. Combinations with commonly used spray tank adjuvants are 

generally not deleterious to beetleGONEI if the mix is used promptly. Before mixing in the spray tank, 

identify possible problems with physical compatibility by mixing all components in a small container in 

proportionate quantities.

product as required. Utilize agitation to keep solution in suspension. 

Application Instructions for Drip Chemigation 

1) Check to be sure that the system provides a uniform water flow. 

2) Irrigate crop with sufficient water to wet the root zone. Then, begin flow of the solution containing 

product solution from the chemical tank for a period to uniformly distribute the material. Discontinue 

flow of the beetleGONEI mixture and let the system continue to run only as necessary to purge the 

line with fresh water. let the beetleGONEI solution remain in the root zone of the crop. 

APPLICATION TO ORNAMENTAL PLANTS 

Sites of Application: beetleGONEI Apply to Ornamental trees, shrubs and plants including those on 

golf courses, residential and commercial grounds (e.g., office and shopping complexes, airports), 

parks, playgrounds, and on nursery, greenhouse, field, and/or container-grown ornamentals. 

Apply beetleGONEI by pressurized backpack, ground or aerial application equipment with quantities 

of water sufficient to provide thorough coverage of plant foliage to be protected without excessive runoff. The minimum amount of water needed per acre will depend upon site, plant size, weather, spray 

equipment, and local experience. Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the 

applicator. 

Spot Spraying and Application to individual plants: Use 0.5 to 1.5 pounds beetleGONEI per 

gallon of water. 

Page 5 of 10 
Ground Application: Apply 2.5 - 17.5 pounds beetleGONEI per acre per application in up to the 

following amounts of water: 

High volume hydraulic sprayers: up to 100 gallons of water per acre 

Low volume mist blowers: up to 30 gallons of water per acre 

Aerial Application: Apply 1.5- 10 pounds beetleGONEI per acre per application in from 1 - 10 

gallons of water per acre. 

Mixing: 

Fill sprayer or mixing tank half full of water. Begin agitation and pour beetleGONEI into water while 

maintaining continuous agitation. Add other compatible spray material {if any) and balance of water. 

Agitate as necessary to maintain suspension. It is not recommended to allow diluted mixture to remain 

in the tank for more than 24 hours. 

To improve dispersion and adhesion of the spray deposits for difficult to wet foliage or plant surfaces, 

use an approved spreader-sticker. Combinations with commonly used spray tank adjuvants are 

generally not deleterious to beet.leGONEI, if the mix is used promptly. Before mixing in the spray tank, 

identify possible problems with physical compatibility by mixing all components in a small container in 

proportionate quantities. 

Application Timing: To help manage populations of adult beetles, begin beetleGONEI applications 

after adult emergence but in advance of the peak of adult flight for the target Insect species as 

determined by degree day models, pest surveys or pest trapping programs. Repeat as often as 

necessary to reduce beetle populations to threshold levels through the season. Consult with local, 

state and federal specialists or your state cooperative extension service to access information related 

to predictive models and or surveys which predict the best timing of applications against target insect 

pests

APPLICATION TO CROPS FOR FOOD AND ANIMAL FEED USES: 

Phyllom beetleGONEI may be used for insect control for food and animal feed crop use; 40 CFR 

§ 180.1011, exempts the viable spores of Bacillus thuringiensis from the requirement of a tolerance. 

beetleGONEI is a biological insecticide based on Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. galleriae Strain SDS502. The product actNe ingredient must be ingested by insects to be effective. Time applications so 

that larvae or adults feeding on the surface of the foliage or fruit come in contact with and eat the 

product to ensure maximum effectiveness. Repeat applications as necessary until insect pest 

pressure is below economic threshold levels. 

Page 6 of 10 
beetleGONEJ should be used at the recommended rate per acre as indicated in the rate chart. Fill 

your sprayer or mixing tank partially with water. Next, add the recommended rate of beetleGONEI to 

the sprayer while vigorously agitating and or recirculating the spray solution to insure a uniform 

dispersion of the beetleGONEI in the solution. Apply in sufficient water to thoroughly wet the crop 

foliage while avoiding excessive runoff. Repeat as often as necessary to maintain control through the 

season. Consult with local crop specialists or your cooperative extension service to access 

information related to predictive models, which predict the best timing of applications against beetle 

and or weevil insect pests. 

beetleGONEI may be used in integrated pest management (IPM) programs alternated or in tank 

mixes with other products, as long as prior use or experience has demonstrated physical and 

biological compatibility. Spray tank pH should be maintained near neutral. Avoiding spray drift at the 

application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many equipment and weatherrelated factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible 

for considering all of these factors when making decisions.
