Oriental fruit moth (Third generation)

• Materials: Use one of:
  • Altacor @ 285 g/ha
  • Delegate WG @ 420 g/ha
  • Assail 70 WP @ 120-240 g/ha
  • Ripcord 400 EC @ 175 mL/ha
    or Up-Cyde 2.5 EC @ 280 mL/ha

  • Silencer 120 EC @ 104 mL/ha
• Comments: This spray is usually required for all varieties from Vivid season and later. Check the preharvest intervals.
  If mating disruption for OFM is being used a pesticide application is not required for third generation OFM.
  Decis: Maximum one application per year.
  Altacor and Delegate: Apply at first egg hatch, 50-100 degree days C (base 7.2°C) after biofix (first sustained moth catch). Monitor populations and reapply 10-14 days later if required. Do not spray within the preharvest interval of 10 days.
  b: Do not exceed 645 g/ha per year.
  Assail: For optimum activity, use the 240 g/ha rate. Apply in a minimum spray volume of 1,000 L/ha. Do not apply more than once every 12 days.
  Up-Cyde: Use in 550 L water/ha.
  For resistance management, if more than one spray is required for this generation, use a product from the same chemical group. For subsequent generations, rotate to another chemical group.

Precautions

Read the product label and follow all safety precautions.

Consult the product label for suggested water volumes. Otherwise, use enough water to ensure thorough spray coverage. Where the product rate is listed in amount per 1,000 L and if a water volume is not provided on the label, use enough water to wet the foliage to the near drip point.

Products are listed by fungicide and insecticide group. Use products from different groups to prevent pest resistance. For resistance management, refer to Pest Resistance to Insecticides, Fungicides, Miticides.

For preharvest interval, re-entry period, maximum number of applications and chemical group, see Table 7-8. Products Used on Peaches.
