Monitor weekly with pheromone traps and check fruit after each generation. Most effective on larger blocks of 5-10 acres with trees of uniform size. Be sure to monitor for leafrollers, stink bugs, and lygus bugs, which are normally controlled by codling moth cover sprays. It is an insect growth regulator that kills young larvae but does not kill adult moths. It is safer to beneficials than organophosphorus or carbamate insecticides.
Coverage is extremely important.
Use the higher volume for larger trees. The addition of a spray adjuvant, such as Latron CS-7 or other adjuvants, is recommended to enhance spray coverage. Tebufenozide should be applied at the beginning of egg hatch, which is earlier than organophosphorus or carbamate insecticide application timings. It is recommended that tebufenozide be applied at 150-250 DD after the first biofix. At the low rate, azinphosmethyl is one of the least disruptive chemicals to beneficials.
