Use the higher rate (concentration) when borer pressure or damage is
high.
ONCE PER YEAR TIMING
Apply in October/November OR March/April.
MONITORING PROGRAM
Monitor weevil borer populations carefully by trap counts and/or corm
damage ratings, beginning in
September when pest activity is on the increase and continue until
April.
Apply treatment when banana weevil borers reach or exceed acceptable
threshold levels.
Monitor borer control after application and re-treat as required.
BANANA WEEVIL BORER: Application should be made after rain or
irrigation during periods of high adult borer activity.
BANANA RUST THRIPS: Application against banana weevil borer will give
coincident rust thrips control, particularly when
application is made when thrips activity is on the increase usually
beginning September and into the summer months.
APPLICATION METHOD
Stool Treatment Application
Remove trash from the base of stools and apply 500 - 750mL of spray
solution to each stool, depending on stool
size. Treat the bottom 30 cm of each stool as well as the soil in a 30

treatment of both butt(s) and follower(s). Use the lower spray volume
of 500 mL on small stools less than 50 cm across
the entire base.
Band Treatment Application
Apply as a band application with a side delivery boom and offset
nozzles on both sides of the row with the spray
pattern positioned to spray 30cm of soil on either side of the row and
30cm in height. Aim to apply a total spray vo
