Two Applications / Product
DiPel DF Offers More Control of Navel Orangeworm in Almonds Both rates of DiPel DF resulted in the highest percentage control of navel orangeworm, but the 2 lb/A rate applied 4 times at 7-day intervals was the most effective. DiPel DF was also more effective than CryMax® and Leprotec® + Spear® Lep, and adding Spear Lep did not increase control vs. using DiPel DF alone.

Based on Cabbage Looper Units (CLUs), the DiPel DF rate of 2 lb/A is equal to the Leprotec rate of 3 pt/A. DiPel DF has a stronger strain and reduced rates can be used in the tank mix with Spear-Lep to provide equal or better control of the target Lepidoptera.
