Stewardship

Mustang® gets rid of wheat pests quickly, and keeps them gone. But to receive these benefits, you must follow the label directions and practices described below.

  1. Time Mustang to your particular pests .
    Mustang can be applied with your post herbicide, or used as a rescue.

    Timing and frequency of applications should be based on insect populations reaching locally determined economic thresholds. Refer to your local Extension Pest Management Guidelines or consult with your local retailer or crop consultant regarding field-scouting results.

    For chinch bug control, begin applications when bugs migrate from small grains or grass weeds. Apply sufficient spray volume to penetrate the soil/stem interface, leaf collars and sheaths.
  2. Choose the right application rate.
    Mustang offers a wide range of application rates, allowing you to tailor your insecticide to your specific situation. After all, who knows your pest problems better than you?

    Your use rate will depend on insect, infestation, insect stage, crop stage, plant/pest relationship and spray conditions. Contact your retailer, consultant or FMC rep for a recommendation and see the label for use directions.

    Apply by air or by ground equipment using sufficient water to obtain full coverage of foliage (minimum of 2 gallons per acre by air and 10 gallons per acre by ground).
  3. Observe maximum limits.
    Do not apply more than 0.25 pounds of active ingredient per acre per season. Do not make application less than 14 days apart.
  4. Follow drift management guidelines.
    Careful drift management is essential. Correct pressure settings, proper nozzle size and alignment, and attention to wind speeds will ensure on-target application. Follow Spray Drift Management and General Information guidelines on the label.

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