Plant and bloom safety are a strong suit for this class of chemistry. Mainspring GNL has been used widely by greenhouse and
nursery growers on a large number of ornamentals over the past few years, yet GGSPro’s technical team has not received a
single report of phytotoxicity to date. Diamide insecticides are broad spectrum with an impressive array of important insect
pests on their labels. Add to that good compatibility for tank mixing. Bee safety is an important criterion when evaluating
pesticides. In general, bee toxicity for this group of insecticides is short-lived, allowing growers to treat blooming crops safely
when all label requirements are followed. Acelepryn has no bee cautions on the label. More data is needed on the newer
products, but compatibility with BCAs is promising. Add short re-entry intervals (REIs) into the equation and it is easy to see
why the diamides are generating so much interest.

Since these products share the same MOA growers will need to rotate outside of this group in accordance with their labels
and sound rotational strategies. GGSPro is available to advise you on pesticide programs. Excerpts from the labels have been
included but it is the grower’s responsibility to read and follow all label requirements. These products are not registered in all
states and counties. Consult GGSPro or your state department of agriculture for up to date registration information.
