DIRECTIONS FOR USE
GENERAL
Apply at first sign of infestation when worms are small and repeat at weekly intervals as needed to maintain control. Thuricide must be carried into the insects gut while feeding, to be effective. Thorough coverage of leaf surface is essential for best results. After ingesting Thuricide, worms stop feeding and will die within 2-3 days.
MIXING
SHAKE WELL before using -
Pour recommended amount into 3/4 filled spray tank. Agitate and maintain agitation. Do not allow dilute spray to stand in tank more than a few hours. Combinations with most fungicides and stickers are not deleterious if used promptly. A Non-ionic spreader sticker, used sparingly, is recommended when applications must be made when frequent rainfall and heavy dews are anticipated. Do not combine with alkaline materials such as bordeaux mixture or lime sulfur During hot, sunny or windy weather, late afternoon and early evening applications produce better results. Apply to obtain thorough leaf coverage. Thuricide HPC, when applied at recommended rates, may be used up to the day of harvest.
RECOMMENDATIONS
THOROUGH COVERAGE IS ESSENTIAL. Apply indicated amount in each gallon of water and spray to obtain thorough coverage of foliage.
