requirement specific to your State and Tribe, consult the State/Tribe agency responsible for pesticide

regulation.

AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS

Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR Part

170. This standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests,

nurseries, greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides.  It contains requirements for training,

decontamination, notification, and emergency assistance.  It also contains specific instructions and

exceptions pertaining to the statements on the label about personal protective equipment (PPE), restricted

entry interval and notification to workers (as applicable).  Do not apply this product in a way that will contact

workers or other persons, either directly or through drift.  Only protected workers handlers may be in the

area during application.  The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product that are covered by the

Worker Protection Standard.  

Do not enter or allow any worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval (REI) of 4 hours.

For early entry into treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves

contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, water, wear: coveralls, chemical resistant

gloves, shoes plus socks and protective eyewear.

NON‐AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS

The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product that are NOT within the scope of the Worker

Protection Standard for agricultural pesticides (40 CFR Part 170).  The WPS only applies when this product is

used to produce agricultural plants on farms, forests, nurseries, or greenhouses.  Keep children and pets out

of treated areas until sprays or other wet applications have dried.

PRODUCT

INFORMATION

SPLAT CLM uses the pheromone of the (Phyllocnistis citrella) to disrupt adult moth

mating and thus reduce larval damage to crops.

CROPS SPLAT CLM is for use on all crops and non‐crop areas where the citrus leafminer is

detected.

TIMING Apply early in the season, prior to and at the first sign of male flight.  Reapply as

needed based on trap capture and scouting programs.  Consult your own pest control

advisor, distributor or ISCA Technologies to obtain correct timing for application.

PLACEMENT Apply SPLAT CLM dollops at upper one third of plant foliage or tree canopy.
SPLAT CLM - 3/15/2010 Page 3 of 4 

APPLICATION

RATE

The application rate of SPLAT CLM is 10 grams to 10 kilograms of undiluted product

per acre.  This is equivalent to 0.015 to 15 grams of pheromone active ingredient (AI)

per acre.  Do not exceed more than 150 grams of active ingredient  per acre per year.  

Consult your pest control advisor for the recommended rate of application as the

application rate will vary depending on pest population and specific field conditions.

POINT SOURCE

SIZE, NO. PER

ACRE, AND

SPACING

Droplet or dollop size can be varied (large or small) depending on 1) amount of active

ingredient pheromone applied per acre, and 2) duration of control required.   A higher

number of small dollops will emit more pheromone in a shorter time interval than

fewer large dollops.  While the pheromone emission rate per unit area remains

constant for large and small dollops, the larger dollops have a greater volume/reservoir,

which increases its field life making it useful where long‐term suppression of CLM

populations is required.  Dollop size can vary depending on number of pheromone

point sources required.  To apply 200 g of SPLAT as 1000 point sources per acre,

distribute 0.2 gram (200 mg) dollops uniformly throughout the area.  To apply 200 g as

10,000 point sources, distribute 0.02 gram dollops (20 mg) uniformly throughout the

area.   When applied by aircraft, the product will be dispersed in droplets of various

sizes.  While most of the volume of SPLAT CLM applied aerially is represented by

droplets 1/8” (3 mm) in diameter, equivalent to 30 mg; some droplets will be larger and

some smaller. Actual droplet size can be controlled by the nozzle type and the rate of

product applied.  Typically, 100 mg droplets will have a diameter of 0.2‐0.24”(5‐6 mm);

30 mg droplets will have a diameter of 0.1‐0.125” (2.5‐3.0 mm) and a 5 mg droplet will

have a diameter of 0.02‐0.03”(0.5‐0.75 mm).

EXTERNAL  

FACTORS

SPLAT mating disruption formulations are used to disrupt the mating cycle of target

pest(s).  The efficacy of any mating disruptant will be reduced by the influx of mated

females from surrounding areas.  It is for this reason the mating disruption strategy

works best with large acreages where the ratio of exposed borders to overall area

treated is relatively small.  It is recommended that borders be fortified with either 20%

more SPLAT CLM or the periodic reapplication of product along the borders especially

around suspected moth entry points. Monitor for pests on a regular basis, so that

timely intervention with another application of SPLAT CLM, pesticides or other control

measures are possible.  

PREPARATION  

FOR USE

Always check SPLAT CLM 24 hours before using. If SPLAT CLM has been stored in a

refrigerated area and has hardened, allow at least 48 hours at room temperature to

achieve a workable consistency.  Always mix SPLAT CLM thoroughly before use.  A drill

with paint mixing paddle or similar device works best.  Avoid mechanical mixing with

sharp blades, which come into contact with the plastic container as this can introduce

shards of plastic into the SPLAT CLM mixture, which might interfere with product

flowability and application.

APPLICATION

METHOD

SPLAT CLM can be applied manually with items such as a thin spatula, small caulking

gun‐style dosing gun, pressurized backpack sprayer, or mechanically with a tractor, all

terrain vehicle (ATV) truck, aircraft or appropriate mechanical device.  Do not apply this

product through any type of irrigation system.

MECHANICAL

APPLICATION

When using mechanical application equipment, calibrate the system to deliver the

intended amount of material per acre as determined in the APPLICATION RATE box.  

Always consult your dealer, distributor or ISCA Technologies to ensure optimum

application of product is achieved.

MONITORING   Monitor the target pest(s) with pheromone‐baited traps, such as the ISCAlure® Citrella

pheromone lure and ISCA delta trap monitoring system.  Place monitoring traps in the

treated area before applying SPLAT CLM to determine the infestation level. Continue

monitoring throughout the season to evaluate efficacy and longevity of the application.

Supplementary control measures are advised if the pest population densities are above

threshold levels.
SPLAT CLM - 3/15/2010 Page 4 of 4 

WEATHER  

FACTORS

Apply SPLAT CLM when the ambient temperature is above 55°F and below 95°F.  

SPLAT dollops typically cure within 2‐3 hours following application, after which they

will become rainfast and UV resistant.  Do not apply if rain is expected within 2‐3 hours

of application or the temperature is outside these ranges.
