ISOMATE® FBW RING

A MATING DISRUPTION FORMULATION FOR FILBERTWORM (Cydia latiferreana)

Sam’s Insecticide 

For Organic Production 

The Agency has determined that this label statement would be acceptable under Part 156 

labeling requirements. To avoid being misleading, this statement should be in a font size 

comparable to that of other type and not highlighted by size, color, contrast or placement. 

EPA has worked with USDA and the NOSB to develop this suggested labeling language. 

The Agency believes that it would be useful for registrants to use a consistent labeling statement 

to avoid any confusion on the part of individuals wishing to use products for organic crop 

production. The language was also developed to avoid creating label language which could be 

viewed as an endorsement by a Federal agency; such statements are generally considered false 

and misleading. See 40 CFR 156.10(a)(5)(v). 

The Agency is aware that other groups may have reviewed materials proposed for use in 

organic agriculture for a number of years and have determined that they meet the requirements of 

USDA’s NOP rule. This Agency will also consider accepting use of label language and/or logo 

of the other groups for use on pesticide products in lieu of the phrase “for organic production” 

providing the registrant submits a letter from that group stating that the product does, in the 

opinion of such group, meet the NOP requirements, and the Agency concurs with the opinion. 

EPA will also consider whether such labeling could be false or misleading. 

VII. HOW REGISTRANTS MAY APPLY FOR APPROVAL OF A NOP STATEMENT 

A. Currently registered products that conform fully to NOP criteria 

Submit an application for amended registration that should include: 

An application for Amended Registration (EPA Form 8570-1). 

Draft labeling, bearing the proposed changes, and including an acceptable NOP phrase or 

statement (see Section VI). 

In order to substantially shorten the time for EPA approval of the new label language, 

registrants should consider also submitting a new Confidential Statement of Formula (EPA Form 

8570-4), which includes a brief annotation describing how each product ingredient is consistent 

with the NOP; the brief description could include references to listed ingredients or categories in 

the National List. The registrant could also cite the EPA List of Other (Inert) Pesticide 

Ingredients Inert - List 4, for each ingredient in the product, where applicable.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

IT IS A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW TO USE THIS PRODUCT IN A MANNER

INCONSISTENT WITH ITS LABELING.

It is CRITICAL that ISOMATE FBW RING is applied as directed.

Crops Pomegranates and other pome fruits; hazelnuts and other tree nut crops.

Target Pests Filbertworm (Cydia latiferreana).

Rate Minimum of 20 dispensers per acre (0.87 fl oz or 23.1 g a.i. per application). Do not exceed 

150 g a.i. (or 130 dispensers) per acre per year.

Application Place dispensers on lateral branches in upper third of tree canopy. Apply dispensers 

uniformly in the treated area.

Timing Apply prior to filbertworm emergence in the spring. Consult your local pest control advisor 

or Pacific Biocontrol representative for proper timing or estimated dispenser longevity in 

your area.

Note Isomate FBW Ring suppresses mating of target pests. Immigration of mated female moths 

of these species from adjacent external sources of infestation will reduce the level of 

control. Manage by:

a. Treatment of external sources of infestation with Isomate-FBW Ring.

b. Treatment of external sources of infestation with an effective insecticide.

c. Treatment of pheromone treated orchard with insecticide.

Areawide application is most effective. Supplementary applications of insecticide are advised when 

Isomate FBW Ring is used in orchards with high pest populations. All pests must be monitored so that 

timely intervention with insecticides is possible.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL

Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage or disposal.

Pesticide Storage Store in original unopened package in a dry location at temperatures below 40°F. To
