Product Info

SHUTTLE® O is a miticide for the control of Citrus red mite (Panonychus citri), European red mite (Panonychus ulmi), Pacific spider mite (Tetranychus pacificus), Texas citrus mite (Eutetranychus banski) and Spruce spider mite (Oligonychus ununquis), Strawberry spider mite (Tetranychus turkestani), Willamette spider mite (Eotetranychus willamettei) and Two spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae and Tetranychus cinnabarinus), and Broad mite (Polyphagotarsonamus latus).

When applied to the foliage as directed, SHUTTLE O provides knockdown and residual control. Due to its mode of action, SHUTTLE O is not expected to have cross-resistance to existing miticides and is very effective against various species of resistant and susceptible mites. SHUTTLE O is relatively harmless to most predacious mites and beneficial insects, making it compatible with IPM and resistance management programs

Applications & Uses

Application Technique
Mode Of Action

SHUTTLE O is effective on all life cycle stages of twospotted spider mites and spruce spider mites through both contact and ingestion. SHUTTLE O works by interfering with energy production in the mitochondria of the target pest’s cells. SHUTTLE O features a unique mode of action with no cross-resistance to other miticides. It is an ideal fit in a mite resistance management strategy.

Use Sites

SHUTTLE O may be used on ornamentals grown in greenhouses, container and field nurseries, lath and shade houses, arboretums, interiorscapes, and on greenhouse grown fruiting vegetables (except cucurbits).

Application Rates

SHUTTLE O application rates per 100 gallons of water: 6.4 to 12.8 fluid ounces (.06 to .125 pounds of active ingredient/100 gallons). SHUTTLE O should be applied when threshold mite populations are observed and before large mite populations have been established. Apply SHUTTLE O in sufficient water to ensure uniform and thorough coverage of foliage. Users should not apply less than 100 gallons of SHUTTLE O finished spray per acre.

Tank Mixing

SHUTTLE O can be combined with most commonlyused pesticides with the exception of strongly alkaline materials, which may reduce the activity of the product. Do not combine SHUTTLE O with Aliette® WDG (fosetyl). For broad-spectrum control, SHUTTLE O may be tank mixed with most other miticide/insecticide products. SHUTTLE O and various tank mix combinations including spreader stickers and adjuvants, have not been tested on all plant species and the many varieties of each.

Resistance Management

When used as directed, SHUTTLE O is effective on a wide variety of mite species. SHUTTLE O shows efficacy on all mite life cycle stages. Users should not make successive applications of SHUTTLE O. Users should apply SHUTTLE O as part of a resistance management strategy program that includes rotation with other miticides with different modes of action.

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 any 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

Carefully read and understand the Directions for Use and restrictions before applying this product.

Non-Agricultural Use Requirements

THE REQUIREMENTS IN THIS BOX APPLY TO USES OF THIS PRODUCT THAT ARE NOT WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE Worker Protection Standard for agricultural pesticides (40 CFR Part 170). The WPS applies when this product is used to produce agricultural plants on farms, forests, nurseries, or greenhouses.

RESTRICTIONS

  • The area being treated must be vacated by unprotected persons
  • Keep children, pets and unprotected persons out of treated areas until sprays have dried.
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 on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE), notification to workers and restricted-entry interval. 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 entry into treated areas during restricted entry interval (REI) of 12 hours. PPE required for early entry into 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, socks, shoes, chemical resistant gloves made of waterproof material.

Technical Details & Test Data

Restrictions and Limitations
  • SHUTTLE O should not be used through any type of irrigation system.
  • SHUTTLE O should not be applied by air.
  • Do not apply SHUTTLE O within 75 feet of aquatic areas
  • Do not apply to impatiens (including New Guineas) or miniature roses without first testing for sensitivity

SHUTTLE O provides excellent control in university and laboratory testing

Even when scouted, mite populations can explode quickly and damage ornamental plants. That’s why the activity of SHUTTLE O on all life cycle stages is helpful to growers.

  • SHUTTLE O delivers powerful contact activity for control of all mite life stages.
  • Continues to work through ingestion to keep mite populations in check for three weeks or more.

Precautionary Statements

HAZARDS TO HUMANS AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS

CAUTION: Harmful if inhaled. Avoid breathing spray mist. Harmful if absorbed through the skin. Causes moderate eye irritation. Harmful if swallowed. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing.

User Safety Recommendations
  • Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet.
  • Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
  • Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
Environmental Hazards

This product is toxic to aquatic invertebrates such as Eastern oysters and mysid shrimp. 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 cleaning equipment or disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate.

Surface Water Statement

This product may contaminate water through drift of spray in wind. This product has a potential for runoff for several days after application. Poorly draining soils and soils with shallow water tables are more prone to produce runoff that contains this product. A level, well maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and 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.

Storage & Handling

Storage And Disposal

Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage or disposal.

PESTICIDE STORAGE: Store in original container and keep tightly closed. Store in a cool dry place. Protect from excessive heat.

PESTICIDE DISPOSAL: Pesticide wastes are toxic. Improper disposal of excess pesticide, pesticide spray or rinsate is a violation of Federal Law. If these wastes cannot be disposed of by use according to label instructions, contact your State Pesticide or Environmental Control Agency, or the Hazardous Waste representative at the nearest EPA Regional Office for guidance.

CONTAINER HANDLING: Rigid, Nonrefillable containers small enough to shake (i.e., with capacities equal to or less than 5 gallons). Non-refillable container. Do not reuse or refill this container. Triple rinse or pressure rinse container (or equivalent) promptly after emptying. Offer for recycling, if available, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill or by incineration.

Triple rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank and drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Fill the container 1⁄4 full with water and recap. Shake for 10 seconds. Pour rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat this procedure two more times.
