Details of use of grape root borer mating disruption

Hello, everyone, A question was asked about dates of availability for the Section 18 label for Isomate GRB-Z. I wrote earlier that mating disruption is back for this species. A little more detail is needed. A Section 18 label (an emergency registration) is valid only for the current season. It will have to be requested again each year until a full, Section 3, label is in place. In fact, the label lists specific, more restrictive dates. Effective dates of use are June 1 - July 30, with unused material (unopened containers) to be returned to the distributor by September 30. I expect that a request for a new Section 18 label will be made for next season, if a full label has not yet been approved. But in the meantime, we must abide by the label restrictions. More later, Doug
