Dow AgroSciences Changes Its Label for Conserve SC
Jennifer Zurko
To reinforce its resistance management approach, Dow AgroSciences has changed its label for Conserve SC turf and ornamental insect control. In addition to adding chilli thrips, the company has updated the application recommendations from three to two to reduce the risk of resistance to the insecticide. The label now indicates that if other treatments are required after two applications, another class of insecticides is recommended for at least two more treatments.
Conserve SC can be used to control a variety of thrips—including chilli thrips and western flower thrips—as well as leafminers, black cutworms, fall armyworms and gypsy moth larvae in greenhouses and nurseries. It can also be used outdoors on golf courses, commercial and residential lawns, and near aquatic environments.
