Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How effective is Mustang® ?
A. Research proves that Mustang knocks down pests faster and keeps them down longer than other alfalfa insecticides. Visit our Performance Data page to see the results for yourself. Plus, with a shorter PHI, flexible application rates and timing, Mustang is the answer to a wide range of alfalfa pest problems.
 
Q. What is Hydro-Formulated Technology™ ?
A. Hydro-Formulated Technology, or HFT™, formulations are made by an innovative process which delivers the active ingredient in submicron size. This improves performance and product stability, so the effectiveness of Mustang is less susceptible to variables in water hardness, temperature, pH or tank residues. The process improves tank-mix compatibility and eliminates the need for petroleum distillates, making Mustang less likely to cause skin irritation.
 
Q.
What is the active ingredient?
A. Mustang contains zeta-cypermethrin, a highly recognized insecticide widely used throughout the United States. Mustang is labeled for use on alfalfa, corn, soybeans, wheat, sorghum, sugar beets and more than 60 vegetable crops.
 
Q. How will Mustang affect my yields?
A. When you control 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've provided the best scenario for high yields.
 
Q. How late in the season can I apply Mustang?
A. Mustang is gentle on all labeled crops, giving it a short pre-harvest interval. Applications may be made up to three days before cutting or grazing, and up to seven days before harvesting seed. What's more, the restricted entry interval is just 12 hours.
 
Q. How environmentally friendly is Mustang?
A. Rates of application are very low, so less chemical is introduced into the environment. What's more, when used according to directions, the active ingredient in Mustang has low potential risk to birds, earthworms, mammals or people. As with any insecticide, label directions, application precautions and requirements for worker and handler protection must be followed carefully.
 
Q. Will Mustang cause skin irritation?
A. Unlike other insecticides, Mustang doesn't use petroleum distillates to deliver its active ingredient. That means Mustang won't burn or speckle sensitive crops, and it's less likely than other products on the market to irritate your skin.
 
Q. Is Mustang expensive?
A. No. In fact, Mustang typically costs less per acre than other competitive products. Plus, you get better insect control. That makes Mustang a truly exceptional value.
