Transform WG has contact and ingestion activity. Soft on many beneficial, predatory insects. Translaminar and foliar systemic (moves to new leaves). An adjuvant may improve spray deposition. Ground, air, or chemigation. It is probably best used early to mid-season to control incoming pests. If a neonicotinoid (4A) was applied at planting or at hilling, apply a product from a different MOA group first, then rotate to Transform (4C). Expect at least 14 days of residual control. Make only two consecutive applications before rotating to an insecticide with a different MOA. This product does not have a full set of MRLs; use with caution if exporting potatoes.

| Aphid (various species) | 4C | E | 0.75-1.5 oz | 24 h | 7 d | Early-to-mid season application will cover aphids and some other migrating pests. Apply when aphids are migrating into potatoes. |
| Beet Leafhopper (Circulifer tenellus) | 4C | E | 1.5-2.25 oz | 24 h | 7 d | Early-to-mid season application will cover many migrating pests, including BLHs. Watch the Contour Maps in the Potato DAS every week to monitor regional BLH population densities. |
| Lygus Bugs (Lygus species) | 4C | E | 1.5-2.25 oz | 24 h | 7 d | See Section 2ee Recommendation for plant bugs in potatoes. Apply when nymph stages are present. |
| Potato Psyllid (Bactericera cockerelli) | 4C | E (n+a) | 2.0-2.25 oz | 24 h | 7 d | Early-to-mid season application will cover many incoming, migrating pests, including psyllids. Translaminar so it should get to the nymphs on the underside of leaves. Watch the Contour Maps in the Potato DAS every week to monitor regional potato psyllid population densities. |
1Mode of action. NC = not classified..
2 Efficacy ratings denote the relative ability of a pesticide to control its target. The ratings are E = excellent, G = good, F = fair/suppression; P = poor, and ND = no data. Efficacy ratings are based on the inherent toxicity of the pesticide against its target, the likelihood that the target will contact or ingest the product as applied, duration of impact on the target, and undesired effects, such as negative impacts on natural enemies that could lead to future pest outbreaks.
3 Rate per acre per application. Refer to the product label for maximum use rate per season.
4 Reentry interval.
5The minimum pre-harvest interval. Some products do not list PHI.
Note: always read and follow the directions on the pesticide label.
