– Page 4 APPLICATION NOTES: Reapply as needed based on insect monitoring and field scouting programs. The use of approved sticke rs is encouraged for improved adherence to the plant surfaces and protection from rainfa ll. In the event of rain, retreatment is encouraged if approved stickers are not used. This product is not recommended in fields with overhead irrigation. This product only affe cts adult males and will have no effect on females, eggs or immatures. Vine mealybug femal es may overwinter after being mated. It is encouraged to treat with insecticide trea tments that will effectively control hatching immatures until egg laying by previously mated females has ceased to occur. In moderate to high insect pressure situations, supplemen tal insecticide applications during the season can prove necessary to provide adequate protec tion to the developing crop. These supplemental insecticide applications should be mad e based on trap monitoring, field scouting, and appropriate degree-day models for the local growing area and must be timed to control emerging larvae.
