3 TALUS Insect Grwth Regulatr cntains the active ingredient, buprfezin. It is effective against the nymph stages f whiteflies by inhibiting chitin bisynthesis, suppressing vipsitin f adults, and reducing viability f eggs. Treated susceptible pests may remain alive n the plant fr 3-7 days, but feeding damage during this time is typically very lw. Gd cverage is essential. Treatment shuld be applied when ppulatin level reaches ecnmic threshld. Cnsult lcal agricultural authrities fr details. Apply by grund applicatin equipment with the spray vlume apprved under DIRECTIONS FOR USE. The restrictin n spray vlume will limit the size f plant treated in rder t ensure cmplete cverage. Orient nzzles t assure gd cverage. Applicatins may be made with high vlume r lw vlume, r nn-handheld mister/airblaster equipment nly. Applicatin with handheld ultra lw vlume (thermal and nn-thermal fggers, misters, etc.) is prhibited. Applicatin with any type f fgging equipment is prhibited. Fllw the spray equipment manufacturer's directins t determine the amunt f spray slutin required t btain thrugh cverage. Cnsult the spray equipment manufacturer's peratr's manual, spray nzzle catalgs and/r yur crp advisr fr mre infrmatin.

If spraying must be stpped befre emptying the sprayer, resume agitatin befre spraying the remainder f the lad. RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT Fr resistance management, please nte that TALUS cntains a Grup 16 Insecticide. Any insect ppulatin may cntain individuals naturally resistant t TALUS and ther Grup 16 Insecticides. The resistant individuals may dminate the insect ppulatin if this grup f insecticides is used repeatedly in the same greenhuses. Other resistance mechanisms that are nt linked t site f actin but are fr individual chemicals, such as enhanced metablism, may als exist. Apprpriate resistancespecific management strategies shuld be fllwed. T delay insecticide resistance: Where pssible, rtate the use f TALUS r ther Grup 16 Insecticides with different grups that cntrl the same pests in a greenhuse. Use tank mixtures with insecticides frm a different grup when such use is permitted. Insecticide use shuld be based n an IPM prgram that includes scuting and recrd keeping, and cnsiders cultural, bilgical and ther chemical cntrl practices. Mnitr treated pest ppulatins fr resistance develpment.
