Section 18 for Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB) Management on Stone and Pome Fruit

As indicated last week , our Section 18 request for the use of three bifenthrin products (Brigade WSB – FMC Corporation; Bifenture EC and Bifenture 10DF – both from United Phosphorus) to control BMSB on apples, peaches and nectarines was approved by EPA. Here is the label for Bifenture products from UPI (https://cdn.sites.udel.edu/weeklycropupdate/files/2014/07/Section-18-Bifenture-BMSB-DE-2014.pdf). We will post the Brigade WSB from FMC as soon as it is available. Please contact either David Pyne at the Delaware Department of Agriculture (David.Pyne@state.de.us) or Joanne Whalen (jwhalen@udel.edu) for more information.
