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.
-
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.
-
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).
-
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.
-
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.
