|
||
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
For resistance management, STIFLE SC Miticide contains a Group 10B acaricide. Any mite population may contain
|
||
individuals naturally resistant to STIFLE SC Miticide and other Group 10B acaricides. The resistant individuals may
|
||
dominate the mite population if this group of acaricides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate
|
||
resistance-management strategies should be followed.
|
||
To delay acaricide resistance, take the following steps:
|
||
x R ot at e th e use of ST I F LE S C Mit ic i de or ot h e r G roup 10B ac aric id e s wit h in a g rowin g se ason , or am ong
|
||
growing seasons, with different groups that control the same pests.
|
||
x Use tank mixtures with acaricides from a different group that are equally effective on the target pest when
|
||
such use is permitted. Do not rely on the same mixt ure repeatedly for the same pest population. Consider
|
||
any known cross-resistance issues (for the targeted pests) between the individual components of a mixture.
|
||
In addition, consider the following recommendations provided by the Insecticide Resistance Action
|
||
Committee (IRAC):
|
||
o Individual insecticides selected for use in mixtures should be highly effective and be applied at the
|
||
rates at which they are individually registered for use against the target species.
|
||
o Mixtures with components having the same IRAC mode of action classification are not recommended
|
||
for insect resistance management.
|
||
o When using mixtures, consider any known cross-resistance issues between the individual components
|
||
for the targeted pest(s).
|
||
o Mixtures become less effective if resistance is al ready developing to one or both active ingredients,
|
||
but they may still provide pest management benefits.
|
||
o The insect resistance management benefits of an insecticide mixture are greatest if the two
|
||
components have similar periods of residual insecticidal activity. Mixtures of insecticides with unequal
|
||
periods of residual insecticide activity may offer an insect resistance management benefit only for the
|
||
period where both insecticides are active.
|
||
x Adopt an integrated pest management program for acar icides use that includes scouting, uses historical
|
||
information related to pesticide use, crop rotation, record keeping, and which considers cultural, biological
|
||
and other chemical control practices.
|
||
|
||
651-20260403 Stifle SC Miticide (Master) Page 4 of 24
|
||
|
||
x Monitor after application for unexpected target pest su rvival. If the level of su rvival suggests that the
|
||
presence of resistance, consult with your local university specialist or certified pest control advisor.
|
||
x Contact your local extension specialist or certified cr op advisors for any additi onal pesticide resistance-
|
||
management and/or IPM recommendations for the specific site and pest problems in your area.
|
||
x For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact AMVAC at 1-888-462-6822.

||
TANK MIXES
|
||
NOTICE: Tank mixing or use of this product with any other product which is not specifically and expressly
|
||
authorized by the label shall be the exclusive risk of user, applicator and/or application advisor, to the extent
|
||
allowed by applicable law.
|
||
|
||
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
|
||
Aerial Applications:
|
||
x Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the ground or vegetative canopy,
|
||
unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.
|
||
x Applicators are required to select a nozzle and pressure that deliver a medium or coarser droplet
|
||
size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
x If the windspeed is 10 miles per hour or less, applicators must use ½ swath displacement upwind
|
||
at the downwind edge of the field. When the windspeed is between 11-15 miles per hour,
|
||
applicators must use ¾ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
|
||
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site. If the windspeed is
|
||
greater than 10 mph, the boom length must be 65% or less of the wingspan for fixed wing
|
||
aircraft and 75% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters. Otherwise, the boom length must
|
||
be 75% or less of the wingspan for fixed-wing aircraft and 90% or less of the rotor diameter for
|
||
helicopters.
|
||
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
Airblast applications:
|
||
x Sprays must be directed into the canopy.
|
||
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
x User must turn off outward pointing nozzles at row ends and when spraying outer row.
|
||
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
Ground Boom Applications:
|
||
x User must only apply with the release height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more
|
||
than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy.
|
||
x Applicators are required to select a nozzle and pressure that deliver a medium or coarser droplet
|
||
size (ASABE
|
||
S572.1).
|
||
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
Boomless Ground Applications:
|
||
x Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1) for all
|
||
applications.
|
||
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
x
|
||
Do not apply during temperature inversions.

SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
|
||
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-
|
||
TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
|
||
|
||
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
|
||
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target
|
||
pest control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if
|
||
applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions.
|
||
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size – Ground Boom
|
||
x Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift.
|
||
Use the highest practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed,
|
||
consider using a nozzle with a higher flow rate.
|
||
x Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray
|
||
volume and droplet size.
|
||
x Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using
|
||
nozzles designed to reduce drift.
|
||
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft
|
||
x Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers’ recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to
|
||
reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.
|
||
|
||
BOOM HEIGHT – Ground Boom
|
||
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
|
||
|
||
RELEASE HEIGHT - Aircraft
|
||
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift.
|
||
|
||
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
|
||
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that
|
||
the shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area.
|
||
|
||
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
|
||
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
|
||
|
||
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
|
||
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by
|
||
increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no
|
||
wind. The presence of an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the movement of smoke from a
|
||
ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated
|
||
cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an
|
||
inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. Avoid
|
||
applications during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
WIND
|
||
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND
|
||
CONDITIONS. Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray
|
||
drift.
|

|
||
|
||
Boomless Ground Applications:
|
||
Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift.
|
||
|
||
Handheld Technology Applications:
|
||
x Take precautions to minimize spray drift.
|
||
|
||
CHEMIGATION (For Use on Corn Only)
|
||
S T I F L E S C M i t i c i d e a l o n e o r i n c o m b i n a t i o n w i t h o t h er products which are registered for application through
|
||
sprinkler irrigation may be applied through irrigation sy stems. Apply this product only through micro-irrigation
|
||
(individual spaghetti tube), drip irrigation, overhead irrigation or motorized calibrated irrigation equipment. Do not
|
||
apply through any other type of irrigation system. Lack of effectiveness can result from non-uniform distribution
|
||
of treated water. If you have questions about calibrat ion, contact your State Ex tension Service specialist,
|
||
equipment manufacturer or other experts. A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for
|
||
its operation, or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary
|
||
adjustments.
|
||
Using Water from Public Water Systems
|
||
x Do not apply STIFLE SC Miticide through any irriga tion system physically conn ected to a public water
|
||
system.
|
||
Public water system means a system for the provision to the public of piped water for human consumption if such
|
||
system has at least 15 service connections or regularly serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60
|
||
days per year. STIFLE SC Miticide may be applied throug h irrigation systems which may be supplied by a public
|
||
water system only if the water from the public water system is discharged into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide
|
||
introduction. There shall be a complete physical break (air ga p) between the outlet end of the fill pipe and to top
|
||
or overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at least twic e the inside diameter of the fill pipe. Before beginning
|
||
chemigation, always make sure that the air gap exists and that there is no blockage of the overflow of the reservoir
|
||
tank.
|
||
Any irrigation system using water supplied from a public water system must also meet the following requirements:
|
||
Operating Instructions for All Specified Types of Irrigation Systems
|
||
1. The system must be calibrated to uniformly apply the rates specified. If you have questions about calibration,
|
||
contact your State Extension Service specialist, equipment manufacturer or water management experts.
|
||
2. The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain appropriately
|
||
located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow.
|
||
3. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a function al, automatic, quick closing check valve to prevent
|
||
the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
|
||
4. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a f unctional, normally closed, solenoid operated valve
|
||
located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from
|
||
being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigati on system is either automatically or manually shut
|
||
down.
|
||
5. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection
|
||
pump when the water pump motor stops.
|
||
6. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which will stop the water pump
|
||
motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
|
||
7. Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump)
|
||
effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being
|
||
fitted with a system interlock.
|
||
|
||
651-20260403 Stifle SC Miticide (Master) Page 7 of 24
|
||
|
||
8. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended.
|
||
|
||
Calibration and Application Instructions
|
||
Apply STIFLE SC Miticide under the schedule specified in th e specific crop rates/instructions, not according to the
|
||
irrigation schedule, unless the events coincide. In gene ral, set the equipment to apply the minimum amount of
|
||
water per acre. Run the system at 95-100 % of the manufacturer's maximum rated travel speed.
|
||
The following calibration and application techniques are pr ovided for user reference, but do not constitute a
|
||
warranty of fitness for application through sprinkler irri gation equipment. Check with State and local regulatory
|
||
agencies for potential use restrictions before applying any agricultural chemical through sprinkler irrigation
|
||
equipment.
|
||
Center Pivot Irrigation Equipment
|
||
1. Use only drive systems that provide uniform water distribution.
|
||
2. Do not use end guns when chemigating STIFLE SC Mi ticide through center pivot systems because of non-
|
||
uniform application.
|
||
3. Plug the first nozzle closest to the well head to protect the water source.
|
||
4. Determine the size of the area to be treated.
|
||
5. Determine the time required to apply 0.10 to 0.15 inches of water over the area to be treated when the
|
||
system and injection equipment are operated at normal pressures as recommended by the equipment
|
||
manufacturer. Run the system at 95 to 100% of the manufacturer's rated maximum travel speed.
|
||
6. Using water, determine the injection pump output when operated at normal line pressure.
|

USE INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
Apply by ground as a full coverage spray in a minimum of 50 gals/A of water. Applicatio ns of STIFLE SC Miticide
|
||
must be done using enough carrier (water) to ensure thorough coverage of the crop’s vegetative and reproductive
|
||
parts, which mites are using for dispersal, feeding and reproduction. Use higher water volumes on older trees and
|
||
varieties that have more compact and dense foliage. Hi gher volumes of water coupled with well calibrated
|
||
equipment will help to provide better coverage.
|
||
Treat when mite populations are low. STIFLE SC Miticide is predominately an ovicide/larvicide. Apply STIFLE SC
|
||
Miticide at or prior to threshold for your area, do not exceed the maximum rate per year.
|
||
Choose lower rate for light infestations and the higher rate for heavy infestations.

USE INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
Apply with air or ground equipment in adequate water for uniform coverage (a minimum of 3 gals/A by air or a
|
||
minimum of 10 gals/A by ground). Coverage is essential for good control. Use of higher water volume will assure
|
||
better coverage. Applications of STIFLE SC Miticide are recommended before tasseling stage to allow good
|
||
coverage and provide better control.
|
||
For field corn utilized for seed production apply STIFLE SC Miticide before or at tasseling growth stage.
|
||
For applications using chemigation refer to chemigation section.
|
||
Treat when mite populations are below threshold or beginning to build up on the plants. STIFLE SC Miticide is
|
||
predominately an ovicide/larvicide and should be used early in the life cycle of mites. Always follow the
|
||
recommended threshold for your area, do not exceed the maximum rate per year.
|
||
Choose lower rate for light infestations and the higher rate for heavy infestations.

USE INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
Apply with air or ground equipment in adequate water for uniform coverage (minimum 20 gals/A by air or
|
||
minimum 50 gals/A by ground). Applications of STIFLE SC Miticide must be made using enough carrier (water) to
|
||
ensure thorough coverage of the crop’s vegetative and reproductive parts, which mites use for dispersal, feeding
|
||
and reproduction. Use higher water volumes on more matu re plants and varieties that have more compact and
|
||
dense foliage. Higher volumes of water coupled with well calibrated equipment will help to provide better
|
||
coverage.
|
||
Treat when mite populations are low. STIFLE SC Miticide is predominately an ovicide/larvicide. Apply STIFLE SC
|
||
Miticide at or prior to threshold for your area, do not exceed the maximum rate per year.
|
||
Choose lower rate for light infestations and the higher rate for heavy infestations.
