19. PLANT BACK PERIODS or RECROPPING INTERVALS:
20. MODE OF ACTION:
A group 5A, spinosyn insecticide that alters the function of nicotinic and GABA-gated ion channels.
Acts by contact and ingestion.
Produced by naturally occuring bacteria.
Larvae stop feeding soon after spraying but may take up to 3 days to die.
21. PESTICIDE RESISTANCE:
Some species may be resistant or develop resistance with continued application. Rotate with products from alternative groups.
Use according to the Insecticide Resistance Management Strategy for cotton. Do not apply more than 3 applications to any cotton crop in one season. Do not apply more than twice to chickpeas, pulses, sorghum and soybeans. Product can be applied either twice to the crop during flowering or once up to 14 days before harvest.

It has a half life in soil of 9-17 days. Broken down by sunlight and microbial action
It has an EPA classification for soil mobility that ranges from
Ground water contamination is extremely unlikely. It is not susceptible to leaching.
Accumulation in milk and tissues - It does not accumulate in the body.
Potential for bioaccumulation is low.
LogPow <3.
BCF <100.
Soil and Groundwater: The breakdown of spinosad in soils is largely dependent on photolysis. The photolysis
half-life in soil is 8 - 9 days. It will degrade faster in soils with higher moisture content and higher temperature.
Half-life estimates for spinosad in soil under aerobic conditions are from 9 -17days. Spinosad is stable to heat
but will break down in ultraviolet light. No information was found for the other components.
Surface Water: Spinosad is stable to hydrolysis at acid and neutral pHs in the absence of UV light. At high pH
( = 9) the half-life in water is approximately 200 days. However in the presence of light, spinosad hydrolyses in
water rapidly (half-life < 1day). No information was found for the other components.
Vegetation: Spinosad is not taken up significantly by plants at the roots and on foliage. No information was
found for the other components.
