Biological Activity
LEAP ACTIVE INGREDIENTS Leap is a biorational pesticide containing Btk. Btk has a very specific mode of action and only kills Lepidoptera pests. Therefore, it is soft on beneficial insects such as lady bird beetles or lacewings. These beneficial insects help keep other pests such as mites and aphids in check, which means Leap won’t flare secondary pests that may require additional insecticide treatments. Furthermore, Leap does not have an adverse effect on foraging bees. Leap also contains MeSA, which is a naturally occurring compound in many plants and is a natural flavor constituent of commonly consumed fruits and vegetables. It is used extensively in the flavor and fragrance of foods and beverages. PROPERTIES Rate 0.5–2 qt/A; under heavy pest or disease pressure, use higher label rates Bacterial Management Leap must be used before the disease is observed. For best results, use preventively as part of a disease control program in rotation or tank mixed with other commercial bactericides and fungicides. If disease is already present in the field, Leap should be tank mixed with other registered fungicides or bactericides to ensure adequate control.
• Treat when larvae are young and before economic thresholds have been exceeded • Treat only when larvae are actively feeding; must be ingested for insecticidal activity • Ensure complete coverage of foliage and fruit, including all areas where insects may be feeding, such as the underside of leaves. Use of overhead and drop nozzles may help in achieving full coverage. • As crop matures, water volumes should be increased to enhance coverage and to penetrate foliage • Repeat applications to maintain disease and pest control, generally every 5–14 days ( Leap may not be applied at an interval more frequent than every 5 days and no more than 8 quarts/A per season) Safety glasses, long-sleeved shirt, long pants, chemical-resistant gloves, shoes plus socks. A dust/mist respirator is required for mixers/loaders and applicators.
