Adept Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) is an effective tool for controlling fungus gnats, shore flies, and foliar feeding pests found in ornamental crops grown in greenhouses, shade houses, and interiorscapes.
- Long residual activity (30-60 days) against fungus gnat larvae
- Excellent fungus gnat control
- Low use rates
- Little to no effect on beneficial insects and mites
Application rates: Adept may be applied as a sprench or drench.
- Fungus Gnats/Shore Flies: Initial knockdown will typically take between 3 and 5 days. After that period, a number of emerging adults may lay eggs, but any new soil infesting larvae will be controlled for 30 to 60 days. Use 2 oz./100 gallons. Apply as a coarse spray (sprench). Drench rate is 1 oz/200 gallons water, apply using label specific drench volumes, i.e. 6 fl oz./6 inch pot.
- Adept may be applied under Greenhouse benches and other non-crop areas. Mix 4 to 8 ozs. (4 to 8 bags) Adept in 100 gals of water and apply at rate of 10 - 30 gallons per 1000 sq.ft. of area
- Foliar Feeding Insects: Spray Rate: 4 - 8 oz./100 gallons.
