New product for two-spotted spider mite control in celery

Zsofia Szendrei, Michigan State University Extension, Department of Entomology -

A 24(c) Special Local Need label for Oberon in celery is now available, effective through August 23, 2017.

The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has issued a 24(c) Special Local Need label for Oberon in celery for two-spotted spider mite control. This label is effective immediately and will stay in effect until August 23, 2017.

Oberon (spiromesifen) is a different chemical class than Agri-Mek (abamectin). Please make sure to follow label rates, restriction and recommendations and have a copy of the 24(c) label in hand when buying Oberon for use in celery. View the regular Oberon label (the one that doesn't have celery on it).

Dr.  Szendrei's work is funded in part by MSU's AgBioResearch.
