SePRO Talus 70DF: Insect Growth Regulator

Product Overview:
SePRO Talus 70DF is a highly effective Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) designed to control a wide range of piercing-sucking insects, including whiteflies, scales, mealybugs, planthoppers, and leafhoppers. Formulated with the active ingredient Buprofezin (70%), Talus 70DF disrupts the normal molting process of immature insects, preventing them from reaching adulthood and reproducing. This targeted mode of action provides long-term population control with minimal impact on beneficial insects and pollinators.

Key Benefits of SePRO Talus 70DF:

• Effective Control of Insect Pests – Targets and disrupts the life cycle of key insect pests, leading to population decline.

• Selective Mode of Action – Preserves beneficial insect populations, reducing the impact on pollinators and natural predators.

• Extended Residual Activity – Offers long-lasting control, reducing the need for frequent applications.

• Resistance Management Tool – Ideal for use in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs due to its unique mode of action.

• Reduced Environmental Impact – Low toxicity to mammals and non-target organisms when used according to label directions.

• Versatile Use – Labeled for use in ornamentals, greenhouse crops, nurseries, landscape plantings, and certain food crops.

Use Rates & Application Guidelines:

• Greenhouse Fruiting Vegetables: 6 to 9 oz/ 100 gallons.

  • Allow 5 days between applications.

• Ornamental Plants: 6 to 12 oz/ 100 gallons.

  • Make no more than 2 applications per crop per growing season.

Restrictions & Safety Considerations:

• Do Not Apply to Blooming Crops if pollinators are actively foraging.

• Restricted Entry Interval (REI): 12 hours.

• Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI): Varies by crop (consult label for specifics).

• Do Not Exceed Maximum Labeled Rates within a growing season.

• Avoid Drift & Runoff to prevent contamination of water sources.
