Product Info

DECATHLON 20 WP will not stain or cause damage to any painted or varnished household surface, plastic, fabric or other surface where water applied alone causes no damage.

Diluted spray mixture can be stored overnight and applied the following day; however, mixture should be agitated prior to application to prevent uneven distribution of product. One level tablespoonful equals 6 grams. Do not re-use measuring utensils for feed, food, or drinking water purposes

Applications & Uses

Application Technique
Mode Of Action

DECATHLON 20 WP is a contact insecticide affecting both the central and peripheral nervous systems of a target pest, with secondary activity as a stomach poison.

Use Sites

DECATHLON 20 WP may be used for commercial use only. DECATHLON 20 WP is for broad-spectrum control of crawling and flying insect pests on ornamentals and nursery stock, also including outdoor landscaped areas such as parks, recreational areas, athletic fields, institutional grounds, etc., and interior plantscapes (such as hotels, shopping malls, office buildings, etc).

Application Rates

DECATHLON 20 WP rates range from 1.3 - 1.9 oz. per 100 gallons depending on the target pest. Refer to the label for specific rates.

Tank Mixing

DECATHLON 20 WP has been found to be compatible with all commonly used fungicides, miticides, liquid fertilizers and other insecticides. It is recommended, however, to check compatibility if local experience is not available.

Resistance Management

When applying insecticides / acaricides, always focus on resistance management. Do not rely on one insecticide / acaricide, combination of insecticides / acaricides or related insecticide / acaricide classes. When labels permit, make 2 or 3 applications of an insecticide / acaricide in sequence, then rotate to products with different modes of action. Try to avoid applying the same insecticide / acaricide to more than one generation of the pest.

Directions For Use

It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation. Do not contaminate feed or food. Do not allow children or pets to enter treated areas until surfaces are dry. Keep out of reach of children.

Agricultural Use Requirements

Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR part 170. This Standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE), and restricted entry intervals. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard.

Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval (REI) of 12 hours.

PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil or water, is:

  • Coveralls
  • Waterproof gloves
  • Shoes plus socks
Application

DECATHLON 20 WP mixes readily with water and may be used in all types of spray equipment. Mix product with the required amount of water and apply as a dilute spray application to the point of run-off. When spraying hard-to-wet foliage such as holly, pine or ivy, the addition of a spreader/ sticker may enhance both knock-down and residual activity. If concentrate or mist type spray equipment is used, an equivalent amount of product should be used on the area sprayed, as would be used in a dilute application. Phytotoxicity testing has been carried out on a wide range of ornamental plants under various environmental conditions and no phytotoxicity has been observed. It is advised to pre-spray a selection of ornamentals if local use experience is unavailable. Time applications to flowering plants during periods when pollinating insects are not present, such as early morning or late evening
