RESISTANCE
WARNING:
GROUP 6 INSECTICIDE
For insecticide resistance management Thumper Insecticide is a Group 6
insecticide.
Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to Thumper
Insecticide and other Group
6 insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any
insect population. The
resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if
Thumper Insecticide or
other Group 6 insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of
Thumper Insecticide
on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced.

RATE
CRITICAL COMMENTS
TURF
Couch Mite
1 – 2 L/ha
(10 – 20 mL/
100 m
2
)
•
Apply Thumper Insecticide at the low rate (1 L/ha) in an
early curative situation (after first symptoms are
apparent) to control current and prevent further pest
numbers from breeding and building up damaging
populations.
•
Apply Thumper Insecticide at the high rate (2 L/ha) when
pest populations are at peak damage levels and the turf
stand requires an immediate reprieve from pest attack.
•
Best results are achieved if applied as populations begin
to build rather than at the peak of population growth as
pest damage can be avoided with early season
applications.
•
Generally Thumper Insecticide takes approximately 7 -
10 days to reach maximum mite control.
•
Good spray coverage is essential. Apply in water volume
of 250 – 500 L water per ha (2.5 – 5 L/100 m
2
).
•
It is important to keep within the w
