Certis Biologicals Javelin WG

Certis Biologicals Javelin WG is a biological insecticide specific for use against the lepidopterous larvae listed on the label. Javelin WG must be eaten by the larvae to be effective. Since Javelin WG is most effective against small, newly hatched larvae, an early scouting program to determine early infestations is recommended. After consuming a lethal dose of Javelin WG, larvae stop eating within an hour, but may remain on the foliage until they die, usually within several days. Affected larvae move more slowly and tend to become shriveled and discolored before dying.

Application Instructions:

Apply Javelin WP at a general rate of 0.25 to 1.5 lbs. per acre in a minimum of 30 gallons of water.

Application rates are typically given as a range:

• Lower Rate: Ranges may be desired when tank mixing with contact insecticides labeled for worm control or under conditions of light worm infestations or when uniformly small worms are present.
• Medium Rate: Ranges may be desired when multiple worm life stages are present, continuous egg hatches are occurring or young or light armyworm infestations exist.
• Upper Rate: Ranges may be desired for heavy worm infestations, mature (larger) worms or for moderate to heavy infestations of armyworm, bollworm, or other difficult to control worm species.
• Repeat every 5-10 days as needed.

Active Ingredient:

• Bacillus thuringiensis, subspecies kurstaki strain SA-11 solids, spores, and Lepidopteran active toxins:  85.0%
