| Target | Application per Acre | REI | PHI | MOA | Eff. | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nematodes (various spp.) | 1-2 gal | 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 2 gal per acre to control nematodes (1 gal per acre is used to control wireworms). |
| Wireworms | 0.67-1 gal | 72 h | - | 1B | G | Apply at a rate of 1 gal/A to control wireworms and symphylans (up to 2 gal/A can be used to control nematodes). The label suggests 2–4-inch incorporation for wireworms, but 6–8-inches may be better. |
