Those benefits don't come without responsibility, though. In addition to the label requirements, there are three points you should be sure to keep in mind when using Capture:

1. Make sure you have clean leaves and proper coverage.
   Dirty or dusty leaves can reduce effectiveness, so application after rain or overhead irrigation is best. Additionally, we recommend using a minimum of two gallons of carrier per acre for complete coverage.
   
2. For corn insects not including mites, the recommended rate is 2.56 ounces per acre, per application.
   The first application should be timed to the first major pest that reaches threshold levels. The Capture multi-pest position is superior to the competition, offering better control and residual than using two applications of Warrior® at the 3.2 oz/a rate.
   
3. For mite control, apply Capture at 5.12 to 6.40 ounces per acre.
   Lower use rates will allow mite escapes and speed up the selective process for resistant mites.
   
   Capture applications should not follow another liquid pyrethroid. The ability of Capture to be applied without flaring mites is unique— use of additional pyrethroid products will only irritate and flare mite populations.
   
   You may, however, use Pounce® 1.5 G insecticide to control 1st generation European corn borer. It will not interfere with the ability of Capture to control mites. And since the unique Pounce granule concentrates product in the whorl where borers hide, you'll get more complete control prior to normal mite infestation timing.
   
   Capture should be used early— mite colonies are small and confined to the lower third of the leaves. Treatments to high infestations will result in a higher number of escapes. When you have to make a late treatment or when mite populations are high, FMC recommends adding one pint of dimethoate or disulfoton.
   
   Split-shot applications of Capture should always occur within a 14-day window. Second applications are quite effective in treating a high percentage of resistant mites, but after 14 days, they are more likely to survive. If you have to make an early application, we recommend an alternative chemistry, such as Furadan® 4F insecticide-nematicide plus disulfoton or Comite® II.
