Description
Kendon Carbaryl 500SC Insecticide contains 500 g/L carbaryl, a Group 1A anti-cholinesterase compound. It controls a wide range of chewing and sucking insects across fruit, nuts, vegetables, field crops and pastures. Growers reach for it when caterpillars, beetles, grasshoppers, locusts and bugs threaten a crop. Moreover, the suspension concentrate formulation mixes readily and leaves useful residual cover on treated foliage.
Broad-spectrum carbaryl 500SC insecticide for fruit, vegetables, crops and pastures
Carbaryl works as a contact and stomach insecticide. Therefore, it suits situations where chewing pests feed openly on leaves, stems and developing fruit. Registered targets include heliothis, armyworms, cutworms, loopers, light brown apple moth, codling moth and leaf-eating beetles. In addition, the label covers wingless grasshopper, locusts, green vegetable bug, Rutherglen bug, weevils and several scale species. As a result, one product handles many of the common orchard, vegetable and pasture pests in a single program.
Where it fits across the farm
Kendon Plant Care has registered this product for tree and vine crops, fruit and vegetables, field crops, pastures, ornamentals and industrial situations. For example, it treats pome fruit, stone fruit, citrus, mangoes, macadamias, cucurbits, potatoes, cereals, sorghum, cotton, lucerne and rice. Furthermore, growers use it on pome fruit for fruit thinning between 7 and 28 days after full bloom. It also controls European wasps, honey bees in concealed hives and earwigs around buildings.
Resistance management and mixing
Because carbaryl sits in Group 1A, rotation with other mode-of-action groups protects its performance. Consequently, the label carries a full resistance warning for repeated use. The product is combined in the spray vat with copper oxychloride, dimethoate, dicofol, carbendazim, summer spray oil and wettable sulphur. However, do not mix it with lime sulphur, Bordeaux mixture or other alkaline materials. Always test any unfamiliar tank mix before treating commercial quantities.
