hexythiazox (Onager, Onager Optek)

Onager works via contact activity. Controls eggs and immature life stages. It is translaminar, but not systemic. Good coverage is essential. Use a horticultural grade oil adjuvant. Apply with enough water to obtain thorough coverage via ground or aerial. Chemigate at 100% travel speed or use only 0.1 to 0.15-inch water with Onager at 24 oz/A. Make only one application per season. Onager Optek has enhanced leaf coverage vs. Onager.
