TEJAS

Formulation: Water Dissolvable Granules

Classification: Insecticide

TEJAS is a group code 6 insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant to TEJAS and other group code 6 insecticides. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if these insecticides are used repeatedly and exclusively in programs. TEJAS or any other group code 6 insecticides may not control these resistant insects.

To delay insecticide resistance:

• Avoid exclusive repeated use of insecticides from the same insecticide group code. Alternate or tank mix with products from different insecticide group codes.
• Integrate other control methods (chemical, cultural, biological) into insect control programs.

Please note that both abamectin and emamectin benzoate belongs to group 6 insecticides. Do not tank mix these two products or apply TEJAS within 3 weeks prior to or after an abamectin application.

• TEJAS is effective for the control of Lepidoptera larvae.
• TEJAS is translaminar and is rapidly absorbed into the plant.
• TEJAS is effective against Lepidoptera larvae resistant to organophosphates, pyrethroids and insect growth regulators.
• After TEJAS ingestion, larval feeding stops and death occurs within 4 days.

Thorough and even coverage of the crop is essential. Do not apply during the heat of the day or if the plants are wet or if rain is imminent.

• Fill the spray tank to a quarter with clean water.
• Measure out the required quantity of TEJAS and add to the tank.
• Fill spray tank with water while maintaining agitation to ensure thorough mixing, Maintain agitation during spraying.
• Use the prepared mixture immediately.
• Do not prepare more spray mixture than is needed for immediate application.
• Do not allow to stand overnight.
