DIRECTIONS FOR USE

It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
1. CROP: corn
2. PEST: European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis)
3. APPLICATION: European corn borer adults mate in grassy areas near streams within the cornfield and in the surrounding borders. These grassy regions are the target areas for deploying MSTRS® ECB-2. The MSTRS® ECB-2 dispensers must be attached to stakes at a height of 5 - 6.5 feet above the ground, at a density of 7 - 14 dispensers per acre of grass (this approximates to 0.7 - 1.4 dispensers per acre of corn, or approximately 1 dispenser per 0.7 - 1.5 acres of corn). This is achieved in grassy borders by spacing the dispensers at 25 yard intervals. In interior grassy areas and along waterways and terraced areas more than 20 yards wide, a 25 yard spacing around such areas must also be used. If the area is less than 20 yards in width then the dispensers must be staggered at 25 yard intervals from one side of the area to the other.
As promulgated at 40 CFR 180.1153 DO NOT EXCEED the rate of 150 grams of active ingredient per acre per year.
4. TIMING: Deploy MSTRS® ECB-2 immediately prior to the first emergence of European corn borer moths in early summer. The dispensers will emit effective amounts of pheromone for 60 days.
5. NOTE: MSTRS® ECB-2 impedes the mating of the European corn borer moths in grassy areas in and around cornfields. Because of the local movement of adult females, mated females from untreated areas can invade treated areas, therefore it is advantageous to treat as large an acreage of corn as possible.
