Spear is most effective when applications are targeted toward egg and nymphal stages of target pests. Thorough and uniform coverage of all plant parts is required for optimum performance, and applications with poor coverage may result in slower activity or reduced control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGround applications must be made in a minimum of 10 gallons per acre, and aerial applications must be made in a minimum of 5 gallons per acre. Spear may also be applied through labeled sprinkler-type chemigation systems on crops where chemigation is allowed. Evaluate performance 4 to 10 days after application. Do not exceed 0.35 lb active ingredient spiromesifen per acre per calendar year across all crops and use sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eActive Ingredient:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spiromesifen 45.2% \/ 4 lb per gallon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIRAC Group:\u003c\/strong\u003e Group 23 Insecticide\/Acaricide\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChemical Family:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lipid Biosynthesis Inhibitor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suspension Concentrate (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEPA Reg.
