Pest control rating system when used at recommended rates: 1 = excellent, 2 = good, 3 = fair, 4 = poor, -- = not rated for this insect or mite. Ratings are based on moderate insect or mite pressure. Heavy infestation may require either higher dosage or shorter intervals, or both.
Fruit finish on yellow varieties when used as directed excellent for all products except the following:Â good for diazinon.
aUppercase names are trade names; lowercase names are common names for products with more than one trade name.
bDanitol is less effective for late season ERM control.
