DIRECTIONS FOR USE
NON-AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
The requirements in this box apply to uses of this
product that are NOT within the scope of the Worker Protection Standard
for agricultural pesticides
(40 CFR Part 170). The WPS applies when this product
is used to produce agricultural plants on farms, forests, nurseries, or
greenhouses. Do not
enter treated area without protective clothing until
sprays have dried.
It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a manner
inconsistent with it labeling.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Surround At Home protectant forms a mineral-based particle film
intended for protection of agricultural crops. When Surround At Home is
applied to plants, a dry
white film results. The Surround At Home barrier will help reduce the
damage to plants and crops caused by certain insects, mites, disease
and environmental stresses
such as solar effects. This product may be used as the primary
component in a pest management system that utilizes supplementary
compatible pesticides.
MIX INSTRUCTIONS
For Sprayer Tanks, such as Hand-held or Backpack Sprayers
The following mixing sequence must be followed:
1. Use Surround At Home powder at a
rate of 1/2 lb. (about 3 cups) of Surround At Home powder per one
gallon of water.
2. While stirring or swirling, slowly add Surround At Home powder into
1/4 to 1/2 of the water that will be used in the batch.
3. Mix thoroughly by shaking the closed container vigorously for 30
seconds.
4. Add tank mix pesticides, if any.
5. Add the remainder of the batch water and shake for an additional 30
seconds.
6. Shake the sprayer occasionally during application.
7. At the end of the application, spray until empty and flush system
and nozzles with fresh water. Properly dispose of rinse water.
Compatibility
Surround At Home is generally mixable with most other household use
insecticides, miticides, and fungicides. However, the user should test
tank mixes before use.
When mixing with other products, make up a small batch and observe
slurry and film characteristics. Curdling, precipitation, lack of film
formation, or changes in
viscosity are signs of incompatibility. Do not tank mix with bordeaux
mixture fungicides. Always add tank mix pesticides after the Surround
At Home
powder has been added.
General Application Guidelines
(see, also, specific crop use instructions):
Coverage: Use sufficient spray volume to obtain thorough coverage. For
optimal performance, applications must coat all portions of plant that
are to be
protected, including both sides of the leaves.
Plant Color Change: All plant surfaces must turn a hazy white color
after drying. Additional treatments will turn the plant surfaces a
deeper white. This is
normal, and is indicative of appropriate film formation. Generally, two
or more coatings are required for complete coverage and for
establishment of the
foundation of the protective barrier.
Foliage Dryness: Apply only to dry foliage. Do not apply to wet foliage
or poor coverage and adhesion will result.
Reapplications: Reapplication is generally required every 7-14 days.
Intervals can be widened to 14 to 21 days later in the season when new
growth
diminishes.
When the dry foliage has lost its white appearance, reapplication is
necessary. Heavy rainfall, new growth, and wind erosion will affect
film quality.
Reapply to re-establish coverage after heavy rain as soon as the
foliage is dry. However, reapplication may not be necessary if all
target surfaces remain
thoroughly coated. Excessively thick coatings are not recommended.
GENERAL INSECT AND MITE CONTROL:
Surround At Home is a protectant/repellent that forms a film barrier to
insects and mites. For optimum performance, begin application before a
particular insect
or mite outbreak occurs; thorough coverage must be in place before the
pest outbreak. Thorough, uniform, and consistent coverage is essential
for effective
control.
Growth Enhancer, Sunburn and Heat
Stress Protectant:
When applied at recommended rates and frequencies, benefits such as
increased plant vigor and improved yields may occur on many fruit and
nut trees. Under high
ambient temperatures, Surround At Home reduces canopy temperature and,
therefore, can help to reduce heat and water stress. When Surround At
Home is used,
many pome and stone fruit varieties have shown improved fruit color,
smoothness, and size with less sunburn and cracking.
For sunburn reduction, apply before conditions leading to sunburn
occur. Apply concentrate spray at least every 7-14 days to ensure
complete coverage of
fruit surfaces. Under windy conditions, particle film may be rubbed off
by leaf movement making reapplication necessary.
If initiating sprays for sunburn reduction where there have been no
prior sprays, thorough coverage of all fruit surfaces must be in place
just prior to sunburn causing
conditions.
Washing and Processing
Rub off any residue with a brush under running water. Traces of residue
will not effect processed produce quality.
TREE
FRUIT AND NUT CROPS
PEARS
For pear psylla control
•Apply every 7-14 days starting early in the spring (no later than
green cluster bud). If applying during bloom, do not tank mix with
materials toxic to bees. Reapplication following
heavy rain may be necessary.
•Application intervals may be widened to 14 to 21 days as new growth
slows or when dry periods occur.
•After infestation, Surround At Home may be effective at reducing
psylla adults, soft bodied nymphs, and the damage of psylla honeydew if
thorough coverage is achieved and
maintained.
For suppression of pear rust mite, thrips, leafhoppers, codling moth,
obliquebanded leafroller, pandemus leafroller, tarnished plant bug, and
fabraea leaf spot - Spray per recommendations for psylla control or
spray before expected infestation and continue at 7 to 14 day
intervals. Do not widen spray intervals beyond 14
days to achieve season-long suppression. Supplemental pest control
methods may be needed for full control; especially for codling moth.
APPLES
For control of over-wintering obliquebanded leafroller - Apply two
sprays 7 days apart starting just prior to delayed dormant.
For control of leafhoppers - Apply every 7 to 14 days starting within
three days of first petal fall.
For suppression of apple rust mite, codling moth, plum curculio,
pandemus leafroller, tarnished plant bug, apple maggot, thrips and
aphids -
Apply at 7 to 14 day intervals starting at delayed dormant. If applying
during bloom, do not tank mix with materials toxic to bees. Application
intervals may be
widened to 14 to 21 days as new growth slows or when dry periods occur.
Be sure to maintain a good film coverage to maximize potential benefits
of Surround At Home.
Supplemental pest control methods may be needed for full control,
especially for codling moth.
STONE FRUIT - APRICOTS, CHERRIES,
NECTARINES, PEACHES, PLUMS, AND PRUNES
For control of Japanese beetle - Apply one week prior to the expected
infestation period and follow with three to four additional
applications at 5 to 7 day intervals.
For suppression of thrips - Apply before bloom and reapply at 5 to 7
day intervals throughout bloom. Continue applications at 7 to 14 day
intervals as needed throughout the
season. Do not tank mix with materials toxic to bees. Be sure to
maintain good film coverage to maximize potential benefits of Surround
At Home. Supplemental pest control
methods may be needed for full control.
For suppression of oriental fruit moth, tarnished plant bug, and plum
curculio - Apply within three days of first petal fall and continue
applications at 7 to 14 day intervals.
Application timing may be widened to once every 14 to 21 days when new
growth slows or when dry periods occur. Be sure to maintain good film
coverage to maximize potential
benefits of Surround At Home. Supplemental pest control methods may be
needed for full control.
Special Instructions for Peaches: Peaches may hold a white film on the
skin. Only apply on peaches used for fresh eating for a month after
petal fall to avoid difficult
to remove residues at harvest. Peaches for processing can be applied
season-long.
CITRUS FRUITS - LEMONS, LIMES,
GRAPEFRUIT, AND ORANGES
For suppression of thrips - Apply before bloom and reapply at 5 to 7
day intervals throughout bloom. Continue applications at 7 to 14 day
intervals as needed throughout the
season. Do not tank mix with materials toxic to bees. Be sure to
maintain good film coverage to maximize potential benefits of Surround
At Home. Supplemental pest control
methods may be needed for full control.
NUT TREES - WALNUTS, PECANS, AND
ALMONDS
Use for sunburn reduction only per instructions listed above under
“Growth Enhancer, Sunburn and Heat Stress Protectant”
SMALL FRUIT CROPS
Apply only to fruits to be used for processing (cooking) as the white
film will be difficult to remove completely at harvest. Application of
plain water via a hose prior to
harvest may help to reduce Surround At Home residues. This may be
particularly helpful for wine grapes.
BLACKBERRIES, RASPBERRIES, DEWBERRIES,
BOYSENBERRIES, LOGANBERRIES, AND BLUEBERRIES
For suppression of Japanese beetle, leafhoppers, thrips - Apply at 7 to
14 day intervals starting after fruit set. Application timing may be
widened during dry periods to once every
14 to 21 days, being sure to maintain good film coverage to maximize
potential benefits of Surround At Home. Supplemental pest control
methods may be needed for full control.
GRAPES
For suppression of omnivorous leafroller, grape leafroller,
leafhoppers, Japanese beetle, and thrips - Apply at 7 to 14 day
intervals starting after fruit set. Depending upon pest
pressure, application timing may be widened during dry periods to once
every 14 to 21 days, being sure to maintain good film coverage to
maximize potential benefits of Surround At
Home. Supplemental pest control methods may be needed for full control.
VEGETABLE CROPS
For difficult to wash or unwashed crops, especially in low rainfall
areas, it is recommended to stop spraying 30 days prior to harvest or
when fruit are small. For crops where the
produce is not directly sprayed by Surround At Home (e.g. potato,
shelled beans, and radishes), Surround At Home may be applied up to the
day of harvest.
BEANS
For suppression of flea beetle, Mexican bean beetle, Japanese beetle,
leafhoppers, tarnished plant bug, thrips - Apply at 7 to 14 day
intervals starting after fruit set.
