Safari Insecticide, a super-systemic insecticide with
quick uptake and knockdown, controls a broad spectrum of ferocious and
invasive pests, including Q- and B-biotype whitefly, hemlock woolly
adelgid, emerald ash borer, mealybug, leafminer, fungus gnat, black vine
weevil, glassy-winged sharpshooter, armored and soft scale and
lacebug—some of the most costly pests that affect high value greenhouse
and nursery crops such as poinsettia and hibiscus, as well as trees,
shrubs and herbaceous ornamentals in the lawn and landscape market.
treatment area.
Dinotefuran and its degradate, MNG have the properties
and characteristics associated with chemicals
detected in ground water. The high water
solubility of dinotefuran, and its degradate, MNG,
coupled with its very high mobility, and resistance
to biodegradation indicates that this compound has
a strong potential to leach to the subsurface under
certain conditions as a result of label use. Use
of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable,
particularly where the water table is shallow,
may result in ground-water contamination. Periodic
monitoring of shallow groundwater in the use area
is recommended.
