*OMRI certified. Rotate Entrust, Pyganic and Grandevo for resistance management.

  1. For NH and Maine ONLY
  2. Surround- see label regarding washing residue off. If unable to wash off, discontinue use when fruit are approximately ¾” diameter.

PHI= pre-harvest interval; time between last application and harvest                                                                                                                                                      

REI= re-entry interval; time between application and when workers may re-enter the field

Probable efficacy ratings based on lab and field assays in western USA, Michigan, CT, NY                                                                                                                                              

Additional materials labeled for SWD control with a probable efficacy of poor are not listed.

  • Add 2 lbs sugar/100 gal to increase SWD interaction with pesticides.
  • Add 4-16 oz Nu Film P/100 gal with all materials to improve SWD efficacy
  • If it rains, re-apply a pesticide material. Read the label for any re-application restrictions of the same material.

Updated information based on work by The Sustainable SWD Management SCRI Project, January 2018; New labels.

This is a guide. ALWAYS check the label!
