1 Mode of Action (MOA) codes for plant pest insecticides from the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) Mode of Action Classification v. 11.1 January 2024. 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 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. 2 OMRI Listed means that a product is approved for use in certified organic production under the USDA National Organic Program (NOP). | ||||||

1 FRAC code (fungicide group): Letters (BM, NC, and P) are used to distinguish the fungicide mode of action groups. All fungicides within the same group (with same letter and number) indicate the same active ingredient or similar mode of action. This information must be considered for the fungicide resistance management decisions. However, products with BM, NC, or P are considered low risk and don’t require any rotation unless specifically directed on the label. BM = Biologicals with multiple modes of action; NC = not classified, includes mineral oils, organic oils, potassium bicarbonate, and other materials of biological origin; P = host plant defense inducers. Source: FRAC Code List 2024 http://www.frac.info/ (FRAC = Fungicide Resistance Action Committee). 2OMRI Listed means that a product is approved for use in certified organic production under the USDA National Organic Program (NOP). 3 Information provided in this table applies only to Florida. Be sure to read a current product label before applying any product.
