| Reduced Risk Status: |
|
| IPM Compatibility: |
Per Requester: Very Good Fit; Sefina is non-toxic to pollinators allowing it to be used during bloom, a critical time to control ALB populations. It is also soft on beneficials. Additionally, it may be effective against other pests (e.g., avocado thrips) potentially reducing the number of sprays that need to be applied for pest control.
|
| Reasons for need: |
Avocado Lace Bug (Pseudacysta perseae). Currently only imidacloprid and fenpropathrin (Danitol) are registered for use against ALB. Imidacloprid is highly toxic to bees and fenpropathrin is extremely disruptive to biological control programs for other pests. Thus, better alternatives to these two chemicals are needed to effectively manage ALB within existing IPM programs; PR: The avocado lace bug is one of the most important pests for avocado production in PR. It is observed year-around causing leaf yellowing/browning and necrosis which reduces photosynthesis:08/25;

| Requesting State(s): |
CA:Tim Spann* ; PR:Robles, W ;
|
| PCR Use Pattern: |
Make 2 foliar applications of Sefina at 0.023 lb a.i./ Acre (7 fl oz product/ A), 7 day RTI, 7 day PHI. BASF supports a higher rate of 14 fl oz/A but requests testing of 7 fl oz/A as a second treatment in E/CS trials:06/25/sb
|
| EPA Default Residue Trials: |
3 10-4
|
| IR-4 Residue Trial Plan: |
3 10-4, 1 decline
|
| Residue Protocol Use Pattern: |
|
| Efficacy/Crop Safety (E/CS) Data Required: |
BASF requires 3 E/CS trials in CA on prominent avocado varieties and data should also be collected for the secondary pest avocado thrips. BASF supports a higher rate of 14 fl oz/A but requests testing of 7 fl oz/A as a second treatment in E/CS trials:06/25/sb
