Infection route & application timing • Virus must be ingested by larva to initiate

Infection route & application timing • Virus must be ingested by larva to initiate infection. • Larva continues to feed until virus replicates enough to kill it • Virus picked up on body and mouthparts will contaminate feeding site & infect larva when it starts to feed. • Target hatching eggs and wandering larvae infection may occur as larvae chew out of egg case.

Application timing • Initial application should be made at 3 -5% egg hatch for each brood of Oriental Fruit Moth and/or Codling moth. • Use the OFM or Codling Moth Degree Day Model that is validated for your particular region. • Peak efficacy of Madex HP depends on accurate application timing.

Environmental persistence • Persists for 7 days + on shaded foliage. • Common recommendation: reapply after 7 -8 sunny days • Mixing with organosilicone type spreaders may reduce efficacy by not allowing for even distribution of OB’s (washes them to the edges).

Additional Recommendations for Madex HP • Compatible with other orchard pest management tactics -

Additional Recommendations for Madex HP • Compatible with other orchard pest management tactics - Excellent fit with pheromone-based mating disruption - Tank mix with most insecticides/fungicides/acaricides - Do not mix low rates (<1 oz/Acre) with copper fungicides - Keep p. H between 6 and 8
