Applications & Uses

- Applications
- Applicable Crop
- Insecticide Target Species
- Mode Of Action
Marathon works by binding to the insect’s nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, disrupting nerve transmission. Marathon is not a cholinesterase inhibitor.
- Application Rates
Foliar spray: 50 ml per 100 gallons (Marathon II) Foliar applications should be made when insect populations are at low levels and can be repeated on an as-needed basis. The addition of an organosilicone surfactant may increase efficacy.
Soil application rates: (see tables) Soil applications should be made when insect populations are at low levels. Soil should be moderately moist when application is made. Irrigate moderately but thoroughly after application allowing no leaching or runout from containers for at least three irrigations or 10 days whichever is longer.

Marathon 60WP and Marathon II have been found to be compatible with commonly used liquid fertilizers, fungicides, and insecticides. If local experience is unavailable, check compatability in a small jar test.
- Resistance Management
Some insects are known to develop resistance to insecticides after repeated use. As with any insecticide, the use of this product should conform to resistance management strategies established in your area. It is recommended this product not be used in sequence with any other product with the same mode of action.
- Application
Marathon as a drench should be applied to established but actively growing plants. Because Marathon is taken up by the roots and translocated throughout the plant, applications should be made when the root system is visible on the perimeter of the growing media. Applications made to a poor or underdeveloped root system will result in less insect control. If the plant is healthy and under minimal stress, Marathon uptake will be more efficient. If drench applications are made too late, control will be negatively affected.
Media should be moderately moist at the time of application. Irrigate moderately but thoroughly after application allowing no leaching or runout from containers for at least three irrigations or 10 days whichever is longer.
