How it works

  • VERMIS INSECTICIDE is effective across a wide range of temperatures.
  • VERMIS INSECTICIDE acts through both contact and ingestion.
  • VERMIS INSECTICIDE penetrates leaf tissues via the xylem and moves into leaf tissue where it is available to chewing insects feeding on the leaf surface.
  • Feeding on leaf tissues results in paralysis and death. Although feeding quickly comes to a stop within minutes, complete insect death may take several days after ingestion.
  • For insect pests with a range of application rates, use the high rate under heavy pest pressure. Refer to the product label for upper limits of VERMIS INSECTICIDE allowed per crop group.
  • Coverage is important to obtain optimum control. Higher water volumes are recommended for dense crop canopies.
  • Number of applications recommended per season is dependent on the crop grown, see label for details.
  • Do not make a foliar application of VERMIS INSECTICIDE for a minimum of 60 days following an in-furrow or soil application of seed or seed pieces treated with a Group 28 insecticide.
