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 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.

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.

Product

Application Directions

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. Do not apply 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 (re-cropping) intervals for a variety of leafy vegetables and brassica crops, onions, bananas, sugarcane, and other crops.

Vydate L

(a.i. oxamyl)

Apply ½ to 2 gal/A at planting, preferably via drip application or soil spray. Make additional applications on a 10-to-14-day interval. Do not apply more than 3 gal/A per season. Minimum retreatment interval is 5 days unless a longer interval is stated. Last application at least 21 days to harvest. Consult label for more details on application.

Product

Application Directions

Velum

(a.i. fluopyram)

Apply 6.5–6.8 fl oz/A by chemigation into root-zone through low-pressure drip, trickle, microsprinkler, or equivalent equipment. Minimum 7-day interval between soil applications. Do not apply more than 13.7 fl oz/A of Velum (0.446 lb/A fluopyram) per year, regardless of formulation or method of application (soil or foliar).

Vydate L

(a.i. oxamyl)

Apply ½ to 1 gal/A at planting, preferably via drip application. Make additional applications on a 10-to-14-day interval. Do not apply more than 2 gal/A per season. Minimum retreatment interval is 7 days unless a longer interval is stated. If an at plant application of more than ½ gal/A is made, do not make more than 2 additional applications.

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, requirements for Fumigant Management Plans (FMP) and personal protective equipment (PPE), mandatory good agricultural practices (GAPs), product and applicator training certification, and other rate-modifying recommendations with use of highly retentive mulch films.

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.
