- Product Information
CENTAUR® WDG Insect Growth Regulator is effective against the nymphal stages of scales, psylla, mealybugs, planthoppers, and leafhoppers by inhibiting chitin biosynthesis, suppressing oviposition of adults, and reducing viability of eggs. CENTAUR WDG 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.
CENTAUR WDG 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.

- Rotational Crop Restrictions
Crop Plantback Timing All crops registered for use wth buprofezin 0 days following application Cereal grains 30 days following application All other crops 60 days following application - 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.
- CENTAUR WDG 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.
- CENTAUR WDG 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 main-

- Wettable powders
- Water dispersible granulars and/or soluble powders
- Flowable liquids
