Spree Insecticide quart (32 oz)

Spree Insecticide

Spree Insecticide is a systemic, broad-spectrum insecticide powered by spirotetramat for control of listed pests in labeled field, tree, tropical fruit, vine, and vegetable crops. As a Group 23 insecticide, Spree provides a unique mode of action that is especially valuable in integrated pest management and resistance-management programs.

Spree offers two-way movement within treated plants, moving upward and downward through plant tissue to help control hidden and hard-to-reach pests. This movement helps protect new and developing leaves, including foliage that may not be fully present at the time of application. Spree is the generic equivalent of Movento Insecticide.

✓ Effective against immature target pest life stages when used according to label directions

✓ Long-lasting protection and residual activity on labeled crops

✓ Important fit for integrated pest management programs when used as directed

✓ Helps reach pests hidden in dense crop canopies, new shoots, and developing plant tissue

✓ Suspension concentrate formulation for foliar applications in labeled agricultural crops

Application Notes

Apply Spree according to the crop-specific directions on the product label. Foliar spray applications should be made using properly calibrated ground, aerial, or chemigation equipment where allowed by the crop section. Thorough coverage is important for optimum control, especially in dense crop canopies and where target pests are hidden or protected.

Spree must be tank mixed with a spray adjuvant or additive that has spreading and penetrating properties to maximize leaf uptake and movement of the active ingredient into plant tissue. Do not use binder or sticker-type adjuvants unless specifically recommended. Avoid conditions that may reduce uptake, such as extended cool temperatures, drought stress, or plants that are not actively growing.
