Telone II is a soil fumigant. For best results, soil in the fumigation zone must be moist and free of clods before application. Residues should be incorporated prior to treatment. Pay attention to soil temperature, depth of application, and use rate recommendations that may differ for each targeted pest. Seal the soil immediately after application to prevent fumigant loss, then leave undisturbed for 7-14 days. Allow the fumigant to dissipate completely before planting; plan for 1 week for each 10 gal/A.

| Nematodes (various spp.) (various) | 11 | E-G | See Label | 5 d | Supplemental labeling for Telone II provides specific instructions for root knot and stubby root nematodes. | |
| Root Lesion Nematodes (Pratylenchus species) | 11 | E-G | 9-25 gal | 5 d | Apply by shanking in at ≥18-inch depth. Use 9-12 gal/A for mineral soils, and 25 gal/A for muck. Soil temperature must be between 40°F and 80°F. | |
| Root-Knot Nematodes (Meloidogyne species) | 11 | E-G | 15-25 gal | 5 d | Columbia root knot nematodes: use 20 gal/A for mineral soil or 25 gal/A for muck. Northern root knot nematodes: use 15 gal/A for mineral soil or 18 gal/A for muck. Shank-in at 18-inch depth or more. Soil temperature must be between 40°F and 80°F. | |
| Stubby Root Nematodes (Paratrichodorus and Trichodorus species) | 11 | E-G | 20-25 gal | 5 d | Use 20 gal/A for mineral soil or 25 gal/A for muck. Shank-in at 18-inch depth or more. Soil temperature must be between 40°F and 80°F. | |
| Wireworms (Elateridae) | 11 | G-F | 20-25 gal | 5 d | Apply when wireworms are present. Soil temperature at application depth must be > 50°F or wireworms may be too deep. Use 20 gal/A for mineral soil or 25 gal/A for muck. Shank-in at 14-inch depth or more, or at least 18-inch depth if also targeting nematodes. | |
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.
