A new pest control chemistry with a new mode of action for higher quality fruit and vegetable yields.

Beleaf™ insecticide stops the feeding and stops the damage.
  
Beleaf is a novel class of chemistry with a new, unique mode of action — A-Type Potassium Channel Active.

It specifically targets aphids and plant bugs — key pests whose feeding damages leaves and stems, steals nutrients, creates vectors for disease and degrades the overall quality and appearance of fruit and vegetable yields.

Within 30 minutes after exposure, piercing and sucking pests begin to stop feeding and eventually starve to death. Stop the feeding. Stop the damage. The rapid reduction in feeding activity leads to increased yield and crop quality. Yet Beleaf is soft on beneficial insects, such as bees and predator mites.

Given its outstanding efficacy on key pests and how soft it is on beneficial insects, such as bees and predator mites, it is considered the perfect partner in Integrated Pest Management programs.

The active ingredient in Beleaf has been shown to be different from any other major class of insecticides. No known cross-resistance with other insecticide classes means that the use of Beleaf makes it a key component of Insect Resistance Management programs.

When applying Beleaf, please refer to the product label for specific use instructions.

Mixing and Application: Apply 2.0 – 2.8 ounces (0.063 – 0.089 ai/A) per acre depending on targeted insect pest and population stage (see the label for recommendations). Begin applications before populations reach damaging economic thresholds based on university guidelines. Lower rates are suggested for early season application with low pest densities, or when tank mixing with other products registered for the targeted insect pest. Use the higher rates of Beleaf alone in the tank for higher pest populations, dense foliage, and longer residual.

Beleaf may be tank mixed with other products labeled for use on leafy and fruiting vegetables, brassicas, cucurbits, potatoes, pome and stone fruit crops. Beleaf is generally compatible with other insecticides, fungicides, fertilizers and micronutrient products provided sufficient free water is available for dispersion of all the tank-mix products, and agitation is used to thoroughly mix the products. However, the physical compatibility of Beleaf 50SG with tank-mix partners should be checked prior to application using a jar test to be sure there are no compatibility problems. Read and follow all manufacturers’ label recommendations for the tank mix products.

Available In: 6 x 1.5 lb. containers. One jug will treat 10 acres at 2.4 ounces per acre and 8.6 acres at 2.8 ounces per acre.
