1 Mode of Action (MOA) codes for plant pest insecticides from the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) Mode of Action Classification v. 9.4 March 2020. Number codes (1 through 29) 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. - = unknown, or a mode of action that has not been classified yet. 2 Information provided in this table applies only to Florida. Be sure to read a current product label before applying any product. The use of brand names and any mention or listing of commercial products or services in the publication does not imply endorsement by UF/IFAS Extension nor discrimination against similar products or services not mentioned.

1 FRAC code (fungicide group): Number (1 through 46) and letters (U and P) are used to distinguish the fungicide mode of action groups. All fungicides within the same group (with 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; P = host plant defense inducers. Source: FRAC Code List 2021 http://www.frac.info/ (FRAC = Fungicide Resistance Action Committee). 2 Information provided in this table applies only to Florida.

Do not apply more than 6.84 fl oz of Velum (0.446 lb of fluopyram) per acre per year, regardless of formulation or method of application (soil or foliar). Do not apply Velum within 14 days of harvest. Do not allow livestock to graze treated area for 14 days, and do not harvest for food or feed within 14 days of application. |

*Apply banded or in the row not to exceed 8.7 lb/A. **Do not allow Mocap to come in contract with seed. Apply as a 12 to 15 inch band treatment, incorporating Mocap product according to label instructions. These products are not as consistently effective against root-knot nematodes as the fumigants but are registered as indicated. |

1 Gallons/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. 2 All 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 new label details for additional use restrictions based on soil characteristics, buffer zones, Fumigant Management Plans (FMP), requirements for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), mandatory good agricultural practices (GAPs), product and applicator training certification, and other rate-modifying recommendations. 3 Higher 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. |
