APPLICATION RATES
Floramite SC label rates per 100 gallons of water are: 4 – 8 fluid ounces depending on target pest and infestation level. Refer to the product label for specific rate information.

TANK MIXING
Floramite SC is tank mix compatible with commonly used insecticides and fungicides. If local experience is unavailable a compatibility test should be performed before tank mixing Floramite SC with other insecticides and fungicides. Treat a small number of plants and observe for five days prior to making a total crop application.
Floramite SC must be fully dispersed in water with the agitator engaged before the addition of tank mix materials. For best results adjust tank pH to neutral or acidic range as Floramite SC degrades rapidly in alkaline water.
Floramite SC can be mixed with spreader stickers for improved wetting of hard to wet foliage. Users are recommended to conduct small scale test of adjuvant prior to any large scale uses.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
Floramite SC may be applied once before rotating to an alternate chemistry such as Judo® or Pylon® for two applications before a repeat Floramite SC application.

To reduce the potential for development of resistance to Floramite SC, alternate with insecticides and miticides from different classes of chemicals with different modes of action.
