Application Information
Turfgrass
Imidacloprid 75WSP Select™ controls insect pests on turfgrass in residential lawns, business and office complexes, shopping complexes, multi-family residential complexes, golf courses, airports, cemeteries, parks, playgrounds, and athletic fields.
The active ingredient has enough residual activity that applications can be made before the egg-laying activity of the target pests. Best control is achieved when applications are made prior to egg hatch. Sufficient irrigation or rainfall is required to move the active ingredient through the thatch.
DO NOT apply when infested turfgrass areas are waterlogged or the soil beneath the turf is saturated with water. These conditions prevent thorough and consistent distribution. Best results are achieved when rainfall or irrigation after application penetrates vertically into the soil column, carrying the active ingredient into the zone where insects are normally located.
Restriction: DO NOT exceed a total of 8.6 ounces (0.4 lb of active ingredient) per acre, per year.
Ornamentals
Imidacloprid 75WSP Select™ can be applied to ornamental plants in commercial and residential landscapes and interior plantscapes. It is a systemic insecticide that is transported within the plant from the roots to the upper foliage. Product must be applied to a growing area of the plant that allows absorption of the active ingredient. Adding soluble nitrogen-type fertilizers to the spray solution, when appropriate, can promote uptake of the active ingredient.
Applications can be made by foliar or soil methods, including soil injection, drenches, and broadcast sprays. Foliar applications offer locally systemic activity against insect pests. Systemic translocation is slower when applied to woody plants through the soil, and this delay can take 60 days or longer depending on species and plant size. To offset this delay, make soil applications before anticipated pest infestation.
Restriction: DO NOT exceed a maximum application rate of 8.6 ounces (0.4 lb of active ingredient) per acre, per year.
