Frequently asked questions
What is Declare Insecticide used for?
Declare Insecticide is a broad-spectrum insecticide used to control a variety of insect pests in crops. It is effective against Aphids, Beetles, Caterpillars, Stink Bugs, and other damaging insects in crops. Its active ingredient, gamma-cyhalothrin (a Group 3A pyrethroid), provides rapid knockdown and residual control through contact and ingestion.
What crops can Declare Insecticide be applied to?
Declare Insecticide is labeled for use on Alfalfa, Canola, Cole crops, Corn, Cotton, Soybeans, and many others. Always consult the product label for a complete list of approved crops and specific application guidelines.
How does Declare Insecticide work?
Declare Insecticide contains gamma-cyhalothrin (Group 3A pyrethroid), a microencapsulated synthetic pyrethroid that controls insects through contact and ingestion. It disrupts the nervous system of target pests by interfering with sodium channels, leading to rapid paralysis and death. The microencapsulation technology provides quick knockdown and extended residual activity, ensuring prolonged pest control. This formulation also reduces volatility and enhances efficacy under varying environmental conditions.
When is the best time to apply Declare Insecticide?
For optimal results, apply Declare Insecticide when pest populations reach economic thresholds, as determined by scouting or local extension recommendations. Applications are most effective early in the pest’s life cycle (larval or nymphal stages), before significant crop damage occurs. Application timing varies by crop, pest, and regional conditions. See label for suggested reapplication intervals.
Is Declare Insecticide systemic or contact-based?
Declare Insecticide is primarily contact and ingestion-based. Its microencapsulated formulation enhances contact activity, allowing it to adhere to plant surfaces and target pests directly. Its residual activity provides ongoing protection against pests that contact treated surfaces.
How does Declare Insecticide contribute to plant health?
Declare Insecticide indirectly supports plant health by controlling damaging insect pests that can reduce photosynthesis, stunt growth, or transmit plant viruses. By protecting crops from pest-related stress, it helps maintain yield potential and crop quality.
Can Declare Insecticide be applied using aerial or ground equipment?
Yes, Declare Insecticide can be applied using ground sprayers, aerial equipment, or other approved methods, depending on the crop and label instructions. Ensure proper calibration and carrier volume (10–20 gallons per acre for ground, 2–5 gallons per acre for aerial) for coverage and optimal efficacy. Use nozzles that deliver medium to fine droplets and avoid applications during high winds to minimize drift.
