| Q. |
How effective is it against corn rootworm? |
| A. |
Capture
insecticide effectively controls corn rootworm equal to or better than
other planting time insecticides. In 13 university and FMC trials,
Capture treatments had better root ratings, the measurement of product
effectiveness, than Counter® insecticide and Lorsban® insecticide. In
four of those trials where severe damage (greater than a root rating of
5.0) occurred, Capture treatments were better than Force® insecticide,
Counter and Lorsban. |

| Q. |
What about other insects controlled?
|
| A. |
Capture
insecticide applied at planting controls cutworms and seed damaging
insects like wireworm, grubs, seedcorn beetle and seedcorn maggots. In
head-to-head comparisons, Capture applications gave better corn stands
than applications of Force, Lorsban or Counter applied at planting.
Capture is also the premier pyrethroid insecticide-miticide when
applied during the growing season against foliar pests, such as
European corn borer, corn rootworm adults and two-spotted spider mites.

| Q. |
Will it affect my yields and crop quality?
|
| A. |
By
controlling damaging insect pests, one of the primary stresses to your
crop is eliminated. Insect control, weed control and a good fertility
program ensure that you have provided the best scenario for the best
yields. Corn rootworms annually cost producers millions of dollars,
primarily in the U.S. Corn Belt. Damage from seed insects, like
wireworm and grubs, is less but still is a stress factor that can limit
yields. Capture insecticide is a strong tool to help reduce those
losses. |
| |
| Q. |
How do I apply Capture insecticide?
|
| A. |
Capture
insecticide is a liquid that is banded over the open furrow (T-band)
for control of soil pests. Place the spray nozzle behind the planter
shoe, in front of the press wheel centered over the row. Apply in a
minimum of three gallons of finished spray per acre. |
| |
| Q. |
Can Capture insecticide be tank-mixed with starter fertilizer?
|
| A. |
Capture
insecticide is compatible with most starter fertilizers used as pop-up
fertilizers. FMC recommends that a jar compatibility test be performed
with the appropriate ratio of Capture and fertilizer to ensure mixture
will stay in solution. Constant agitation should be maintained during
mixing and application. |
| |
| Q. |
Can I use also Capture insecticide as a foliar spray later in the season?
|
| A. |
Up
to 0.3 pounds active ingredient per acre per season can be applied to
corn. Capture is an excellent product for control of European corn
borer, corn earworm, corn rootworm adults, armyworms and spider mites.
Applications can be made up to 30 days of harvest. |
