Table A4. Suggested seed treatments for controlling Mexican and western corn rootworms
Seed treatment	Application rate	IRAC group
Clothianidin (Poncho 600 at the 1 .25 mg ai/seed rate of Poncho 600)		4A
	Apply 1 .25 mg ai/seed or 5 .64 fl . oz per 80,000 unit of seed
Imidacloprid (Gaucho 600)		4A
	For Gaucho 600 apply 1 .34 mg ai/seed or 6 .0 oz per 80,000 unit of seed .
Thiamethoxam (Cruiser 5FS)		4A
	Apply 1 .25 mg of active ingredient per kernel . Each fluid ounce contains 17 .7 grams of active ingredient .
Thiamethoxam + abamectin (Avicta Complete Corn 250 and 500; Avicta Duo and Dou 250 Corn)		4A 6
	For corn rootworm, must be tank mixed with Cruiser 5FS . See label for rates . Must be applied only in Syngenta-certified seed treatment facilities .
Note: Shat seed treatments are insufficient to control heavy rootworm populations . Remarks Seed treatments protect roots adequately if the infestations are light or moderate . However, granular insecticides and Bt transgenic hybrids control large rootworm infestations better . Clothianidin: For use in commercially available equipment designed for seed treatment only . Not for use in hopper-box, slurry box, or similar seed treatment applications used at planting . Imidacloprid: May be applied by commercial seed treatment facilities, end use at agricultural establishments, or immediately before planting . Thiamethoxam: Consult your Syngenta seed treatment representative for recommendations on slurry additives to use during applications of Cruiser 5FS . Follow the planter manufacturer’s recommendations for using talc, graphite, or other hopper box addi- tives at planting .

Table A5. Suggested granular and liquid insecticides for controlling Mexican and western corn rootworm larvae
Insecticide (listed alphabetically)	Amount per 1,000 feet of row	Amount per acre on 40-inch row spacing	IRAC group
Chlorethoxyfos + bifenthrin			1B 3A
(SmartChoice 5G) (SmartChoice HC)	4 .5–5 .0 oz 1 .5–1 .67	3 .9–4 .3 lb 1 .2–1 .4 lb
Chlorpyrifos (Lorsban® 15G)	8 .0 oz	6 .5 lb	1B
(Nufos® 15G) (Lorsban® 4E or Advanced) (Nufos 4E)	8 .0 oz — —	6 .5 lb 2 pt per acre 2 .0 pt per acre
Tefluthrin (Force® 3G)	4 .0–5 .0 oz	3 .3–4 .1 lb	3A
Terbufos (Counter® 20G)	6 .0 oz	4 .9 lb	1B
(Counter® 15G)	8 .0 oz	6 .5 lb
Chlorethoxyfos + bifenthrin: Apply only in furrow, not banded . Chlorpyrifos: Chlorpyrifos is not effective on Mexican corn rootworm in high-pH soils in South Texas . Nufos 15G and 4E do not list Mexican corn rootworm as a pest controlled . Granules are not labeled for band application . Must be in-furrow or T-band . Liquid formulation must be applied by T-band application only . Applica- tions made using a band width less than 5–6 inches may cause phytotoxicity under certain environmental conditions such as cool temperatures, wet conditions, and light soils . Lorsban 4E and Nufos can be chemigated to control corn rootworm larvae Tefluthrin: See the label for application and timing instructions . Terbufos: Read the supplemental label for information on potential crop damage if used in combination with some herbicides . PRECAUTION: Certain sulfonylurea herbicides and organophosphate insecticides used in the same crop year on corn may injure the crop severely . Please read pesti- cide labels carefully . IMPORTANT: Using the same soil insecticides year after year in the same field is not a good practice . For best results, rotate organophosphate (chlorpyrifos, terbufos) with other (tefluthrin) soil insecticides each year . For all band applications, apply in a 6- to 8-inch band just behind seed drop and in front of covering shovels and press wheel or chain drag . Soil incorporation to about 1 inch deep is important .
