Gowan Hexygon DF

Active Ingredient: Hexythiazox

Product Description:

Gowan Hexygon DF is a highly effective ovicide and miticide, designed to provide excellent control of a wide range of mite species, including those that are resistant to other classes of miticides. With its active ingredient Hexythiazox, this product targets the egg and early larval stages of mites, helping to break the pest lifecycle and reduce infestations. It is ideal for use in agriculture, particularly on crops like fruits, vegetables, and ornamentals.

Benefits:

• Highly Effective Ovicide: Targets the egg and early larval stages of mites, effectively disrupting the pest lifecycle.

• Long Residual Activity: Provides residual control, protecting crops from mite infestations over extended periods.

• Resistance Management: Useful as part of an integrated pest management (IPM) program due to its different mode of action compared to other miticides.

• Safe for Beneficial Insects: When used as directed, it is safe to beneficial species such as predators and parasitoids, making it an environmentally responsible choice.

Use Rates:

• General Application Rate: Apply 0.07 to 0.14 oz. per 1000 sq. ft.

• Application Timing: Apply when mite populations first appear, or as soon as early signs of damage are observed. For best results, apply prior to peak mite egg-laying activity.

• Re-Entry Interval (REI): Typically 12 hours, but refer to the product label for specific instructions.

Restrictions:

• Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI): Adhere to the recommended PHI as per the product label to ensure safety and efficacy.

• Use Limitations: Do not apply more than a certain number of applications per growing season (usually 2 to 4 times, depending on the crop) to prevent resistance buildup.

• Avoid Drift: Take precautions to avoid pesticide drift to non-target crops or areas.

• Water Requirements: Ensure adequate water volume for coverage when applying; consult the product label for specific recommendations based on crop type and pest pressure.

Safety:

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wear appropriate protective clothing, gloves, and eye protection during mixing, loading, and application.

• Storage: Store the product in a cool, dry place away from food, feed, and children. Keep container tightly closed when not in use.
