Application Rate:
Use lower labeled rates for light infestations and smaller trees or plants. Use higher labeled rates for heavy infestations and larger trees or dense foliar canopies. Refer to the product label for specific rates.

Application Timing:
Treatments should closely follow regional spray recommendations and treatment thresholds based on egg hatch, pheromone trap catches and biofix dates.

Codling Moth Control: Manage codling moth infestations early in the season by targeting first-generation moths shortly before egg hatch. For codling moth, egg hatch typically begins at 220 to 250 degree-days (base 50 F) after biofix. For best control, apply Delegate WG to codling moth larvae before they penetrate the fruit.

Refer to the product label for complete application instructions.
