Mustang gets rid of alfalfa pests quickly, and
keeps them gone. But you will not receive these benefits unless you
follow the label directions and practices described below.
Time Mustang properly.
Make foliar applications when insect
populations reach economic thresholds. Refer to your local Extension
Pest Management Guidelines or consult with your local retailer or crop
consultant regarding field-scouting results. Applications may be made
up to three days of cutting or grazing or up to seven days of
harvesting seed.
Choose the right application rate.
Mustang offers a wide range of
application rates, allowing you to tailor your insecticide to your
specific situation. After all, who knows your pest problems better than
you? Depending upon the insect stage, crop stage, plant/pest
relationship, pest pressure and spray conditions, you may want to
increase or decrease your application rate. Call your local FMC
representative for a specific recommendation.
Use a lower rate when:
• Pest stage is in 1st instar
• Pest receives direct contact of insecticide application
• Crop infestation is lighter
• Temperatures are lower or humidity higher
Use a higher rate when:
• Pest stage is in 3rd instar
• Pest is covered by foliage or crop
• Crop infestation is greater
• Temperatures are higher or humidity is low
Apply by air or by ground equipment using
sufficient water to obtain full coverage of foliage (minimum of 2
gallons per acre by air and 10 gallons per acre by ground).
Observe maximum limits.
Do not apply more than 0.15 pounds of active ingredient per acre per season.
Follow drift management guidelines.
Careful drift management is essential. Correct
pressure settings, proper nozzle size and alignment, and attention to
wind speeds will ensure on-target application. Follow Spray Drift
Management and General Information guidelines on the label.
