For mite control, apply when mites first appear and repeat as needed to maintain control, but not sooner than 7 days after the previous application. For leafminers, apply and repeat every 7 days or as needed to maintain control.

For suppression of whiteflies, thrips, and aphids, apply when young or immature stages are first seen and repeat once per week for 2 to 3 weeks. Then rotate to other registered insecticides with a different mode of action for at least 2 to 3 weeks before returning to Abamectin 0.15 EC. Spray contact with the pest is required for suppression of aphids, whiteflies, and thrips.
