Rimon Receives Approval For Sap Beetle Control In Florida
January 7, 2010 The use of Rimon 0.83 EC Insecticide (EPA Reg. No. 66222-35-400), manufactured by Chemtura Corp., is allowed through Dec. 31, 2010, under certain conditions and restrictions. The exemption was granted under section 18 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act.
Rimon’s active ingredient, novaluron, is authorized for use to control sap beetles on strawberries in the state of Florida. Rimon controls larvae and acts as an ovicide on sap beetles for optimum control in conjunction with products labeled for adults.
Rimon may be applied by ground equipment at a rate of 12 fluid ounces of product per acre, with a maximum of three applications per site per season. Rimon may not be applied within 75 feet of bodies of water such as lakes, reservoirs, rivers, permanent streams, natural ponds or marshes. All applications must include a 25-foot vegetative buffer within the buffer zone to decrease runoff.
