In areas where resistance to azinphosmethyl is present in the codling moth population, even high label rates of this material may not be effective. To reduce resistance levels to this material, alternate it use with that of methyl parathion. Resistance levels appear to be reduced after 2-3 years of alternative programs but quickly reappear with a uniform application of azinphosmethyl. Will thin apples up to 30 days after full bloom. May cause severe outbreaks of spider mites.
Good coverage is essential.
