Features & Benefits
- Product Information
CORMORAN™ is a broad-spectrum insecticide containing the active ingredients novaluron and acetamiprid . This mixture controls many sucking and chewing insects on the crops listed in this label . Novaluron and acetamiprid must be ingested and/or contacted by listed insects to be effective . Proper application techniques help ensure thorough spray coverage and correct dosage necessary to obtain optimum control . Apply at the required rates when the majority of insect population is at egg hatch or first instar . Consult the cooperative extension service, professional consultants, or other qualified authorities to determine appropriate threshold levels for treatment in your area . Apply follow-up treatments of CORMORAN™ per DIRECTIONS FOR USE to keep population within threshold limits . Scout fields regularly to determine optimum application timing based on pest levels and stages of growth .For resistance-management, CORMORAN™ contains both a Group 15 and a Group 4A insecticide .Any insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant to CORMORAN™ and other Group 15 and/or Group 4A insecticides . The resistant individuals may dominate the insect population if these groups of insecticides are used repeatedly in the same fields . Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed . To reduce the potential for developing insect resistance, rotate to an insecticide with a different mode of action . Monitor treated pest populations for resistance development . Read the product label before applying any insecticide and follow label directions .To delay insecticide resistance, take the following steps:
- Rotate the use of CORMORAN™ or other Group 15 and/or Group 4A insecticides within a growing season, or among growing seasons, with different groups that control the same pests . Avoid application of more than the maximum seasonal use rate or the total number of consecutive sprays of CORMORAN™ per season.
Use tank mixtures with insecticides from a different group that are equally effective on the target pest when such use is permitted . Do not rely on the same mixture 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):
- 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. - Mixtures with components having the same IRAC mode of action classification are not recommended for insect resistance management .
- When using mixtures, consider any known cross-resistance issues between the individual components for the targeted pest(s) .
- Mixtures become less effective if resistance is already developing to one or both active ingredients, but they may still provide pest management benefits .
- 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
- Adopt an integrated pest management program for insecticide/acaricides 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 .
- Monitor after application for unexpected target pest survival . If the level of survival suggests the presence of resistance, consult with your local university specialist or certified pest control advisor .
- Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional pesticide resistance management and/or IPM recommendations for the specific site and pest problems in your area .

- Application Information
Spray Volume: CORMORAN™ may be applied in a minimum of 15 gallons of spray solution per acre by ground sprayer or in a minimum of 5 gallons of spray solution per acre by aircraft spray equipment . Check equipment calibration frequently . Complete coverage and uniform application are essential for the most effective results, especially when lower spray volumes are applied . If necessary, increase the spray volume per acre for complete crop coverage (e .g ., pome and stone fruit apply up to 400 GPA) .

Technical Details & Test Data
- Environmental Hazard
This pesticide is toxic to birds and aquatic invertebrates . This product is toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment . Do not apply this product while bees are actively visiting the treatment area . Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark . Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas .Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate . Do not contaminate water used for irrigation or domestic purposes . This product may contaminate water through drift of spray in wind . This product has a potential for runoff for several days to weeks after application . Poorly draining soil with shallow water tables is more prone to produce runoff . A level well maintained vegetative (grass) buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and the surface water features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential for contamination of water from rainfall runoff . Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 48 hours . Sound erosion control practices will reduce this product’s contribution to surface water contamination .Pollinator Advisory: Because of its mode of action as an insect growth regulator, and since it is not systemic, CORMORAN ™ has the potential to impact larval bees (i.e., brood). In order to minimize the possibility of effects to honeybee brood, do not use CORMORAN™ on blooming crops when bees are actively foraging.GROUND WATER ADVISORYAcetamiprid has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in ground water . Acetamiprid may leach into ground water if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow .SURFACE WATER ADVISORYAcetamiprid may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water . This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow ground water . Acetamiprid is classified as having a high potential for reaching both surface water via runoff several months or more after application . Avoid accidental or intentional application of this product to ditches, swales, drainage ways, or impervious surfaces such as driveways . Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 48 hours .
