Stewardship

Capture® insecticide-miticide is proven effective for residual control of a broad spectrum of canola pests including flea beetles, armyworms, loopers and other pests.

Benefits don't come without responsibility. In addition to the label requirements, there are several key management practices you should be sure to keep in mind when using Capture® insecticide-miticide:

  1. For the longest residual control, the labeled rate of 2.6 ounces per acre should be used.
    The first application should be timed to the first major pest that reaches threshold levels (usually flea beetles). Do not apply more than 0.08 lb active ingredient (5.12 ounces) per acre per season. Do not make applications fewer than 14 days apart or within 35 days of harvest.
  2. Try to have clean leaves and be sure to obtain proper coverage.
    Dirty or dusty leaves can reduce the effectiveness of many foliar pesticides, so application after rain or overhead irrigation is best. Additionally, we recommend using a minimum of two gallons of carrier per acre by aerial application for complete coverage and 10 gallons by ground equipment.
  3. Practice good insecticide management.
    Applications of Capture are effective in controlling major canola pests and those that are an occasional problem. As with any pesticide, continuous use of the same class of product (pyrethroids, organophosphates, carbamates, etc.) is discouraged. Consider alternating the use of Capture with products from a different chemical class. To protect bees, avoid spraying during bloom and do not allow spray drift to contact hives or blooming weeds. Follow all labeled application information and precautions.

If you follow these simple guidelines, you'll be using Capture appropriately and effectively. And you'll be able to keep using Capture as a valuable tool for protecting your canola crop for years to come.
