Timing Flexibility Because of its unique activity, mode of action and pest spectrum, Esteem provides greater application timing flexibility than early-season OP chemistries, and it can be used at any two of the following four application timing choices: Timing Crop Pests Special Instructions No. 1 Delayed- Dormant–Pink Apple Leafminers Apply at peak moth flight for control of 1st or 2nd generation. This usually occurs at pre-pink to pink apple stage for 1st generation and 2nd cover for 2nd generation.
Apple
Rosy Apple Aphid
Apply at ½-inch green apple growth stage
Apple Pear Stone Fruit
San Jose Scale
Thorough coverage is critical to control
Apple Pear Apple Pear
Coding Moth Apply at Biofix plus 100 degree days
No. 2 Petal-Fall and In-Season
Leafrollers For suppression of summer generation, target 4th–6th instar larvae or about 550–650 pandemis leafroller degree days or 250–300 obliquebanded leafroller degree days
Apple Pear Stone Fruit
San Jose Scale
Thorough coverage is critical to control. For control in- season, time sprays when scale crawlers first emerge. Use with a superior oil for added control.
Apple Pear
Codling Moth Biofix plus 350 codling moth degree days. This is the timing for the delayed first cover if an ovicide is used at Biofix plus 50–150 degree days ( Esteem ) or at Biofix plus 200 degree days (1% oil). This strategy calls for a tank mix of an ovicide ( Esteem ) plus a larvicide. Codling Moth To control 1st generation, apply at Biofix plus 100 degree days and 2nd application 14–21 days later

No. 3 (East of the Rockies) No. 4 Pre- and Post Bloom
Pear
Pear Psylla
Esteem has ovicidal activity against pear psylla eggs. For optimum results, two applications bracketing bloom (clusterbud and petal-fall) are recommended. Esteem should be applied just prior to peak viable egg lay. Delayed-dormant applications of oil and/or Surround® will improve the ovicidal activity of Esteem by both delaying and synchronizing psylla egg lay. There must be at least 14 days between Esteem applications.
