Protect pollinators by applying early morning or late evening when pollinators
are not active. Rarely a problem before July.
For foliar application or drip chemigation. Drip chemigation must be

To avoid illegal residues, Agri-Mek must be mixed with a nonionic activator
type wetting, spreading, and/or penetrating spray adjuvant. For resistance
management do not make more than two sequential applications.

Soil application at planting or through chemigation. See label for application
options.
Do not use an adjuvant with foliar applications. Do not spray after the 4th
true leaf.
Do not make a soil and foliar application - use one or the other.
Applications made at planting are most effective against cucumber
