Product stewardship:
Use an Integrated Resistance Management approach to controlling leafminers. Make no more than three applications of Avid at 7-day intervals, and then switch to Citation as an alternative control for the same interval Following the use of Citation, Avid may again be applied at 7-day intervals, if necessary. Do not make more than a total of 6 applications of Avid to any one crop. The rotation between these two products with different modes of action should be based on the generation time of Liriomyza species to avoid spraying Avid to successive generations.
