Target pests are controlled by contact and ingestion. The translaminar movement of Blackhawk—through the leaves—can help with internal feeders like leafminers. The active ingredient in Blackhawk (spinosad) affects the insect nervous system. No other class of products—organophosphates, neon- icotinoids or pyrethroids—affects the insect nervous system with the same mode of action as spinosad. Blackhawk is in the spinosyn class of chemistry (IRAC Group 5), making it an excellent rotational product with other classes of chemistry. Use of Blackhawk will not flare aphids or secondary pests. It has low impact on populations of key beneficial insects, including ladybugs, lacewings and big-eyed bugs. Blackhawk is registered for use in sugarbeets, potatoes, beans, barley and wheat. n DOW AGROSCIENCES 800-258-3033 www.dowagro.com TELONE II SOIL FUMIGANT Applications of Telone II soil fumigant increases sugarbeet yields by reducing cyst nematodes. Some field crops require broadcast applications of fumigants for nematode control. But the tap root of a sugarbeet allows growers to concentrate the fumigant right in the seed row. In-row applications of Telone are commonly used in Idaho, Nebraska, Colorado and Wyoming. "Telone remains the standard for nematode management," said Brad Young, Telone specialist based in Idaho. "The in-row applications allow lower rates to be used, which makes treatment more economical." In-row applications of Telone can be made with a variety of equipment. n SYNGENTA www.farmassist.com/crops/sugarbeets.aspx CRUISERMAXX SUGARBEETS CruiserMaxx Sugarbeets insecticide/fungicide seed treatment, a com- bination of separately registered products, is a convenient, all-in-one treatment that protects the root systems of sugarbeets.
