Carzol (formetanate hydrochloride)

Carzol SP is a nonsystemic carbamate miticide-insecticide with contact and stomach action. It is registered for control of mites on peaches, nectarines, apples, and pears. It also suppresses spotted tentiform leafminer and white apple leafhopper when used in the integrated spray program in alternate row middle sprays at 6 to 10 ounces per acre. The lower rate is suggested for leafhoppers as a preventive treatment at petal fall. It is effective on western flower thrips, plant bugs, and stink bugs on peaches and nectarines. Carzol is highly toxic to predatory mites and toxic to bees. Do not apply more than 4 pounds on apples, pears and nectarines; 3 pounds on plums and prunes; and more than 1.25 pounds on peaches during one growing season. The product is not stable in alkaline mixtures and should not be used if the pH is 8 or higher. Carzol can be used only for 1 application per season and can not be used after petal fall.
