PRODUCT INFORMATION

HGW86 T & O insect control is a suspension concentrate

that may be applied for the control of white grubs, billbugs,

annual bluegrass weevils and other listed pests infesting

landscape and recreational turfgrass (including golf courses

and sodfarms) as well as caterpillars and other pests of

landscape ornamentals, including trees, shrubs, foliage

plants and flowers.

HGW86 T & O insect control may be used on plants or turfgrasses that are being grown for aesthetic or recreational

purposes or climatic modification in or around home lawns,

residential dwellings, business and office complexes,

shopping complexes, multi-family residential complexes,

institutional buildings, airports, cemeteries, interior

plantscapes, ornamental gardens, wildlife plantings, parks,

playgrounds, schools, day-care facilities, golf courses (tee

box areas, roughs, fairways, greens, collars etc.), athletic

fields, other landscaped areas, nongrazed, non-cropped and

uncultivated non-agricultural areas and sod farms. HGW86

T & O Insect Control may also be used on plants and

turfgrass in and around small and large companion animal

(including horses) boarding and exercising areas providing

that the animals exposed to the treated areas are not used for

human consumption.

HGW86 T & O 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 T & O insect control must be diluted with water

before application.

Consult your local DuPont Professional Products representative, Cooperative Extension Service specialist or pest

control advisor for regionally specific information regarding

application timing.

APPLICATION TIMING

White Grubs: Apply HGW86 T & O insect control from

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

and early curative control of white grub species infesting

turfgrass. 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. The higher

rate listed for white grub control in Table 1 may be required

in late August or [early] September when less sensitive midinstar grubs are present at the time of application. Irrigate turf

immediately after application or allow rainfall to move the

product into the soil.

Annual Bluegrass Weevil: Apply HGW86 T & O 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 T & O insect control at this time will also provide

white grub control. 

Use HGW86 T&O insect control as part of a program to

prevent turf damage from first generation annual bluegrass

weevil larvae. Consult your local DuPont Professional

Products representative, Cooperative Extension Service

specialist or pest control advisor for the latest information on

using HGW86 T&O insect control to control first generation

annual bluegrass weevil larvae. The higher rates listed in

Table 1 may be required for applications made after mid-May.

Billbugs: Apply HGW86 T & O 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 T & O insect control at

this time will also provide white grub control. The higher

rates listed in Table 1 may be required for applications made

after early May or when billbug species other than bluegrass

billbug are present.

Chinch Bugs: For suppression of chinch bugs, apply

HGW86 T & O insect control before eggs hatch.

European Crane Fly: Apply HGW86 T & O insect control

between July and November to control the fall generation of

European crane fly larvae in turfgrass. An application of

HGW86 T & O 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 T & O insect control will provide

control of two-lined spittlebug when applications are made

in spring or summer.

Turf Caterpillars: HGW86 T & O 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. 

When the area being treated is maintained at a mowing height

of greater than one inch, then the higher rate listed in Table 1

may be required during periods of high pest pressure.

HGW86 T&O insect control provides long term residual

control of turfgrass infesting caterpillars and the duration of

control increases with the application rate. For golf course

green, tee and fairway applications, extend the treatment one

boom length around the perimeter of the treated area to

minimize subsequent movement of large caterpillars onto the

treated area.

APPLICATION RATES FOR LAWNS, GOLF

COURSES, OTHER RECREATIONAL TURFGRASS

AREAS AND SOD FARMS

For maximum residual effectiveness or for optimal control of

large pest infestations, apply HGW86 T & O insect control at

up to 24 fluid ounces per acre (= 0.55 fluid ounces per 1,000

square feet or 0.313 lb AI/A) to control any of the pests listed

below. Apply HGW86 T & O insect control in sufficient

water to provide optimal distribution in the treated area (refer

to Table 2). Use properly calibrated application equipment

that will produce a uniform, coarse droplet spray, using a low

pressure setting to eliminate off target drift. 

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

year in broadcast applications to turfgrass.

APPLICATION RATES FOR ORNAMENTAL

PLANTS (EXTERIOR LANDSCAPES AND

INTERIOR PLANTSCAPES)

Foliar Applications:

HGW86 T & O insect control mixes readily with water and

may be applied with many types of application equipment.
Foliar treatment application rates are listed in Table 3. Mix

the appropriate amount HGW86 T & O 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. Repeat applications must be limited to no more

than once per seven days. 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 hard-to-wet foliage such

as holly, pine, or ivy, the addition of a spreader/sticker is

recommended. If concentrate or mist type spray equipment

is used, an equivalent amount of product should be used on

the area sprayed, as would be used in a dilute application.

For outdoor landscape ornamentals, broadcast applications

cannot exceed a total of 32 fluid ounces (equivalent to 0.42

lb of active ingredient) of product per acre per year.

Soil Applications:

HGW86 T & O 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 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. Plant size, plant health, soil moisture level, environmental conditions, soil type, pest pressure, etc. all affect

time for proper uptake. 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.

The calculations for soil injection/drench applications of

HGW86 T & O 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 injection 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 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 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 T & O insect control that must be mixed

in the desired volume of water based on the

injection volume identified above. 

Broadcast Applications to Flower Beds and

Groundcovers: HGW86 T & O insect control may be

applied for white grub control in flower beds and groundcovers. Flower bed and groundcover application rates are

listed in Table 7. Apply in sufficient water to uniformly

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

1,000 square feet is recommended for flower bed and

groundcover applications). Irrigate immediately after application or allow rainfall to move the product into the soil.

HGW86 T & O insect control may be applied to flower beds

and groundcovers either before planting or after plants have

been established.

Bark Applications:

Apply HGW T & O insect control to the trunks and lower

branches of trees and shrubs to control clearwing moth

borer larvae. Bark treatment application rates are listed in

Table 8. Make applications after the emergence of adult

moths and before their eggs hatch. Thorough coverage of

the bark is required for satisfactory control. Adult

emergence varies according to pest species, host tree, environmental conditions and geographic location. Consult your

local DuPont Professional Products representative,

Cooperative Extension Service specialist or pest control

advisor for regionally specific information regarding application timing.

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT PREPARATION

Application equipment must be clean and free of previous

pesticide deposits before mixing HGW86 T & O 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 T & O insect control well

before pouring.

4. Then add HGW86 T & O 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 T & O insect control may be tank-mixed with other

pesticides. When tank-mixing HGW86 T & O insect control

with other pesticides, observe all precautions and limitations

on each separate product label. Do not exceed label dosage

rates. HGW86 T & O insect control may not be mixed with

any product containing a label prohibition against such

mixing. The physical compatibility of HGW86 T & O insect

control will vary with different sources of pesticide products

and local cultural practices. For a tank-mixturetest, 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.

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT (IPM)

PROGRAMS

HGW86 T & O insect control is recommended for IPM

programs on turf and landscape ornamentals 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 T & O

insect control will reduce the target pest species that may

serve as a food source for beneficial arthropods. If HGW86

T & O insect control is tank-mixed with an insect control

product that negatively impacts beneficial arthropods, then

the full benefit of HGW86 T & O insect control to the IPM

program may not be realized.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT

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 DuPont

Professional Products representative, Cooperative Extension

Service specialist or pest control advisor for the latest information on resistance management in your area.
