Use Information
  • APPLAUD® Insect Growth Regulator is effective against the nymphal stages of whiteflies, scales, mealybugs, planthoppers, and leafhoppers by inhibiting chitin biosynthesis, suppressing oviposition of adults, and reducing viability of eggs. APPLAUD is not an adulticide. Evidence of activity may be slower than typical contact insecticides as treated susceptible pests may remain alive on the plant for 3 - 7 days; however, pests have stopped feeding and any feeding damage during this time is typically very low.
  • APPLAUD is a contact insecticide so thorough spray coverage is essential. Apply by ground or air in sufficient water volume. Orient nozzles to ensure good coverage. Use of higher volume of water will ensure better coverage, especially under adverse conditions such as hot, dry weather, and/or a dense canopy. The entire field should be treated. Apply when economic infestations occur based on local information.

Application Directions

Applications should be made immediately after the spray solution is prepared. Thorough spray coverage is essential for effective control. Applications may be made with high or low-volume spray equipment that provides thorough coverage of the plant. Apply with properly calibrated spray equipment. For best results, apply when pest populations are beginning to build, before reaching economic thresholds.

Mixing Directions

Keep agitation running during filling and spraying operations. If spraying must be stopped before emptying the sprayer, resume agitation before spraying the remainder of the load. Mix only as much spray solution as can be sprayed within four hours. Storage and use of the previous day’s spray mix may result in reduced activity.

  • APPLAUD Alone - Fill spray tank with ¾ of the amount of water needed for the intended application, and then turn on agitation. Pour recommended amount of product on the surface of water in the spray tank. Add the balance of the water to the spray tank with agitation running.
  • APPLAUD Tank Mixtures - It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.

Begin with clean equipment. Fill spray tank with ¾ of the amount of water needed for the intended application, and turn on agitation. If using a buffering agent, add after filling the tank with ¾ amount of water. Do not use oil as carrier or include other additives in the finished spray.

Add the recommended amount of tankmix products in the following order while maintaining agitation:

  • Products in water-soluble packets
  • Wettable powders
  • Water-dispersible granulars and/or soluble powders
  • Flowable liquids
  • Emulsifiable concentrates
  • Adjuvants and/or oils
  • Remaining amount of water to achieve the desired level

Note - It is recommended that the compatibility of APPLAUD in any tankmix combination be tested before use. To determine the physical compatibility with other products, use a jar test as described below.

Using a quart (qt) jar, add the proportionate amounts of the products to 1 qt of water. Add wettable powders and water-dispersible granular products first, then flowable liquids, and emulsifiable concentrates last. After thoroughly mixing, let stand for at least 5 minutes. If the combination remains mixed, or can be remixed readily, it is physically compatible. Once compatibility has been proven, use the same procedure for adding required ingredients to the spray tank.
