Number codes are used to distinguish the main insecticide mode of action groups, with additional letters for certain subgroups within each main group. All insecticides within the same group (with the same number) indicate the same active ingredient or similar mode of action. This information must be considered for the insecticide resistance management decisions. U = unknown, or a mode of action that has not been classified yet.

1FRAC code (fungicide group): Number (1–54) and letters are used to distinguish the fungicide mode of action groups. All fungicides within the same group (with the same number or letter) indicate the same active ingredient or similar mode of action. This information must be considered for the fungicide resistance management decisions. U = unknown, or a mode of action that has not been classified yet and is typically associated with another number. Source: FRAC Code List 2024; http://www.frac.info/ (FRAC = Fungicide Resistance Action Committee).

2Always double-check labels regarding maximum application limits. Many labels are changing from a maximum rate per a season (or crop cycle) to a maximum rate per a year.

3Information provided in this table applies only to Florida. Be sure to read a current product label before applying any chemical.

Product

Application Directions

Vydate L

(a.i. oxamyl)

Apply ½–1 gal/A at planting, preferably via drip application. Make additional applications on a 10-to-14-day interval. No more than 3 gal/A per season. Reapplications at least 7 days apart unless a longer interval is stated. No more than 8 applications per season.

Nimitz

(a.i. fluensulfone)

All applications must be incorporated either physically or via drip or overhead irrigation. Make preplant applications at a rate of 3.5–7 pt/A (56.0–80.0 fl oz/A) a minimum of 7 days before planting. Do not plant any unlisted crops into treated land for 365 days after application of the product. No more than 1 application per crop and no more than 112 fl oz/A per year (365 days). Provides control only for nematodes. Growers applying Nimitz must consult the product label to observe the plant-back (recropping) intervals for a variety of leafy vegetables and brassica crops, onions, bananas, sugarcane, and other crops.

Velum

(a.i. fluopyram)

Apply max 6.84 fl oz/A using only chemigation into root zone through low-pressure drip, trickle, microsprinkler, or equivalent equipment. Reapplications at least 5 days apart. No more than 13.7 fl oz/A of Velum (0.446 lb/A of fluopyram) per year, regardless of formulation (Velum and/or Luna) or method of application (soil or foliar). For soil application, to limit the potential for development of disease resistance to this chemical class, the first foliar fungicide application after Velum should be a product from a different FRAC group.

Salibro (a.i. fluazaindolizine)

Apply 30.7–61.4 fl oz/A (1–2 lb a.i./A) as pre-plant incorporated, via preplant drip, or via atplant drip. Apply 15.4–30.7 fl oz/A (0.5–1 lb a.i./A) for in-season drip. No more than 61.4 fl oz/A per calendar year. No more than 4 applications per calendar year. Re-entry interval is 12 hr. Reapplications at least 14 days apart. Pre-harvest interval is 1 day.

Biological nematicides

See chapter 19.

Vydate is an insecticide/nematicide; Velum is a fungicide/nematicide; Nimitz is a true nematicide. Unlike fumigants, these products are not volatile and will move through the soil via water; depending on the water solubility, these products will have different recommendations for how to best apply them (see specific label recommendations); when nematode pressure is high, they may not be as consistently effective against root nematodes as the fumigants.

1Gallons/acre and fl oz/1000 feet provided only for mineral soils. Higher rates may be possible for heavier-textured (loam, silt, clay) or highly organic soils.

2All of the fumigants mentioned are for retail sale and use only by state-certified applicators or persons under their direct supervision. New supplemental labeling for the Telone products must be in the hands of the user at the time of application. See label details for additional use restrictions based on soil characteristics, buffer zones, requirements for personal protective equipment (PPE), mandatory good agricultural practices (GAPs), product and applicator training certification, and rate-modifying recommendations with use of highly retentive Totally Impermeable mulch films (TIF).

3Higher application rates are possible in the presence of cyst-forming nematodes.

Rates are believed to be correct for products named and similar products of other brand names, when applied to mineral soils. Higher rates are required for muck (organic) soils. However, the grower has the final responsibility to see that each product is used legally; read the label of the product to be sure that you are using it properly.
