  1. Grapes – Imidan PHI is rate dependent
  2. For Berries: allowed up to the first 3 weeks after fruit set. Application of plain water via normal sprayer prior to harvest can help to reduce Surround WP residues. For Grapes: table grapes do not spray after first bloom; Wine grapes sprayed up to veraison will have minimal adherence to berries. Applications after veraison will adhere more to grape berries.

PHI= pre-harvest interval; time between last application and harvest                                                                REI= re-entry interval; time between application and when workers may re-enter the field

Probable efficacy ratings based on lab and field assays in western USA, Michigan, Connecticut                      Additional materials labeled for SWD control with a probable efficacy of poor are not listed. 

 

  • Add 2 lbs sugar/100 gal with all materials to increase SWD interaction with pesticides.
  • If it rains, re-apply a pesticide material. Read the label for any re-application restrictions of the same material.
