Valent Guidelines—Mite Management Program 1. Apply Early Don’t wait until mites are above recommended thresholds for the crop. Apply miticides at or before your economic threshold. 2. Apply According to the Label Instructions Follow label instructions on correct product and water rate per acre. If there are restrictions on tank mixing or additives, such as adjuvants or spreader stickers, follow these specific instructions. Take the time to thoroughly cover the crop and do not skip rows or spray perimeters. Maintain a continuous speed with ground and air equipment while spraying. Increasing speeds often results in more drift and reduced coverage. 3. Get Acquainted with Your Mites and Neighbors Understand the mite species that neighboring growers have in their fields. Evaluate the potential for mite migration from one field to another based on cropping practices and specific crops that are recognized mites hosts. 4. Fight the Mite for the Long Haul Managing mites is not a single event or one application of a miticide. Mites are prolific organisms. In addition, they use many crop hosts to survive adverse effects. Controlling mites with a management approach will ensure a win in the battle against yield damages caused by mites. Always consider the big picture and use historical control information to drive the course of the new management practices in your crops. 5. Be Proactive Against Resistance Growers can leverage a number of strategies to help protect currently labeled miticides and reduce the onset of mite resistance. Along with using a miticide growth regulator such as Zeal SC, rotate multiple, effective modes of action and apply appropriate, labeled rates to ensure the best, long-term results. Other Important Information Compatible with fungicides, post emergence herbicides and most adjuvants (no sticker-type adjuvants) Zeal SC is a mite growth inhibitor and is the only miticide in IRAC group 10B
