Applications & Uses

Application Technique
Application
  • Apply before high populations of insects or when they are expected.
  • Spray with enough volume to penetrate foliage for good coverage
  • Make a minimum of two applications, 3 to 5 days apart.
  • Store Thuricide N/G in its original container. Thuricide N/G is very stable in upopened package for 2 years under normal storage conditions (below 90 F).
  • For best results use a spreader sticker at the suggested labeled rates.
Mode Of Action

Thuricide N/G attacks the larval gut and must be eaten by the insect to be effective. After eating Thuricide N/G, the larvae stop feeding and die within 2 to 3 days

Use Sites

Thuricide N/G may be used in greenhouse and other covered structures (including lathe and shade houses), and nurseries. Plants may be potted, grown in the soil or in soilless mixtures, or grown hydroponically.

Uses On Crops
  • Ornamentals
  • Trees and shrubs
  • Citrus, pome and stone fruits
  • Cucurbit vegetables
  • Nuts
  • Bulb, cole and leafy vegetables
  • Legumes and fruiting vegetables
  • Root and tuber vegetables
  • Small fruits and vegetables
  • Herbs and spices
Application Rates

For the suppression of light to moderate infestations, apply at the first sign of egg laying or newly hatched larvae (1st and 2nd instar larvae). Reapply at 3 to 5 day intervals to sustain larvae suppression or until adequate reduction of larvae population is achieved. Use Thuricide N/G under a pest management program that includes close scouting. If heavy larvae populations occur, it may be necessary to apply an insecticide with rapid knockdown and good larvicidal activity as a replacement. Greenhouse foliar spray rates range from 0.25 to 0.50 lbs. per 100 gallons of water. The addition of 0.25% solution of Triact® 70 (32 fl. oz. per 100 gal.) will help performance.
