Label changes for Conserve SC

To reinforce its resistance management approach, Dow AgroSciences has changed its label for Conserve SC turf and ornamental insect control. In addition to adding chilli thrips, application recommendations have been updated to reduce the risk of resistance. The maximum number of  consecutive applications of Conserve SC was changed from three to two. If additional treatments are required, it is recommended to rotate to another class of insecticides for at least two applications. The maximum number of applications of Conserve SC per year is six.
According to Raymond Miller, Dow AgroSciences national nursery specialist, rotating to different modes of action every two treatments decreases the chance of treating consecutive generations. It also lowers the chance of building resistance.
Conserve SC can be used to control a variety of thrips as well as leafminers, black cutworms, fall armyworms and gypsy moth larvae. It can be used in greenhouses and nurseries, as well as outside on golf courses, commercial and residential turfs and near aquatic environments.
