Carbaryl (Carbaryl, Sevin)
Carbaryl is a carbamate insecticide with contact and stomach action, and slight systemic activity. Carbaryl is highly toxic to bees and should not be used near bloom. Sevin XLR Plus is formulated to be less hazardous to bees and other beneficial insects and to provide a longer period of residual activity. When applied between petal fall and 20 mm fruit diameter, carbaryl acts as a fruit thinner on many varieties. Carbaryl is not recommended for season-long programs because of high toxicity to mite predators that may lead to rapid increase in mite populations. See also Sevin in Part I.
