NOTE: Insecticide applications in cucurbits should be made in late evening to protect pollinating insects. Refer to the pollination section of the general
production recommendations in this publication for more information about protecting pollinators.
Aphid
Where whitefly resistance is an issue (or any other insect with a high potential for resistance to Group 4A MOA insecticides), a foliar
applied Group 4A insecticide program and a soil-applied Group 4A program should not be used in the same season. Also, if using
a foliar-applied program, avoid using a block of more than three consecutive applications of any products belonging to Group 4A
insecticides.

Do not make more than 2 sequential applications before
using a different mode of action.
Applied to the soil at planting or later via drip irrigation
system. See label for application options.
Begin applications before populations begin to increase
and before damage is evident.
Soil applications through drip irrigation, injected below the
seed level at planting, or drench at transplanting.
DO NOT make foliar applications of Sivanto to muskmelon,
cantaloupe, or honeydew melon. See label for additional
melons to which it should not be applied.
Must be applied to the soil. May be applied preplant; at
planting as a post-seeding drench, transplant water drench,
or hill drench; subsurface sidedress or by chemigation
using low-pressure drip irrigation methods. Will also control
cucumber beetles, thrips and whiteflies.

Verimark is for soil application only. It may be applied to the
soil at planting at 6.75 to 13.5 ounces, or via drip chemigation
at 5 to 10 fluid ounces. Do not make more than two soil
or chemigation. See label for application options.
Use higher rates for beet armyworm or large larvae.

Coragen may be used for foliar or drip chemigation.

Apply before aphids reach damaging levels. Do not exceed
5.5 ounces per acre per season.
See label for rotational crop restrictions. Do not exceed 4.8
fl oz of product per acre per crop cycle. See supplemental
label for aerial application.
Platinum is for soil application and may be applied to
direct-seeded crops in-furrow at seed or transplant depth,
post seeding. See plant-back restrictions for a number of
crops.
On foliage as needed.
Do not exceed 0.5 pound per acre per season.
