1Registered for use on apple or pear unless indicated otherwise. Use established thresholds to time applications. Miticides are most effective when applied alone, using recommended rates and water volumes. Apply each miticide once per season to delay the development of resistance.
2The knock-down may be enhanced by increased coverage using a registered adjuvant.
