|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nematodes (various spp.) | 40-80 lb | 72 h | - | 1B | F | Expect suppression of Northern root knot, Columbia root knot, and stubby root nematodes for 5 to 6 weeks. Severe infestations may not be adequately controlled. Apply at a rate of 80 lbs/A to control nematodes (40 lbs/A is used to control wireworms). |
| Wireworms | 27-40 lb | 72 h | - | 1B | G | Apply at a rate of 40 lbs/A to control wireworms and symphylans (80 lbs/A is used to control nematodes). The label suggests 2–4-inch incorporation for wireworms, but 6–8-inches may be better. |
