USE AND APPLICATION
Apply CheckMateŽ OLR-F early in the season, as soon as the first omnivorous leafroller of the season is detected by a BioLureŽ OLR pheromone trap or by field scouting. Apply at the rate of 0.65 fluid ounces per acre. Re-apply every 30 days, or sooner if traps captures occur. Use piston, diaphragm, or centrifugal pumps. (Use of roller or gear pumps will damage the CheckMate OLR-F controlled release system). This product may be tank mixed with other insecticides, fungicides, fertilizers and additives. Retreatment may be required following rainfall or over-head irrigation. This product only affects adult male moths and will have no effect on female moths, eggs or larvae. If application occurs following biofix or during the growing season, the orchard must be treated with insecticide treatments that will effectively control hatching larvae until egg laying by previously mated female moths has ceased to occur. In moderate to high insect pressure situations, supplemental insecticide applications during the season may be necessary to provide adequate protection to developing fruit. These supplemental insecticide applications should be made based on trap monitoring, field scouting, and appropriate degree-day models for the local growing area and must be timed to control emerging larvae. Monitor insect infestation with BioLure OLR pheromone traps and by visual inspection of shoots and fruit. Early placement of BioLure OLR monitoring traps is recommended along with careful field scouting. Monitor treatments carefully for other insect pests. Note: This product does not control raisin moth. Careful scouting and insect identification must be made to properly differentiate between OLR and raisin moth. Raisin moth must be controlled in susceptible crops. In addition, migration of OLR from other host crops must be controlled. Migration from other sites may be managed by monitoring and supplemental insect control measures. CheckMate OLR-F is best used to control low populations of omnivorous leafroller and prevent their increase. |
