Zeal MVP Best Management Practices Treat as populations are building
— When weather forecast predicts hot and dry conditions, spray sooner instead of later It can take 7–10 days to see full results with Zeal MVP . Wait 14 days after applying Zeal MVP before applying another miticide with a different mode of action. Mite thresholds should drive application timing, not calendar Mild winters result in large overwintering populations — If warm spring continues, threshold will be reached earlier than previous years — Scout historical hot spots and early plantings — Spider mite populations mid- to late-season are more difficult to control on most crops Zeal MVP continues to be easy on beneficials, including sixspotted thrips, lady beetles and lacewings Coverage is essential — Spray field at calibrated speed. Calibrated at 2.5 mph, sprayed at 3.5 mph cuts rate approximately 30%. — Avoid adjuvants known to inhibit translaminar activity — Treat whole fields—never skip borders or portions of the field as mites may already be there
