Usage:
CLOSER is a systemic insecticide that moves through the xylem with translaminar action and acts on insects primarily through contact and ingestion. Contact occurs via direct application of the product. Ingestion happens through the stylet (feeding tube), which penetrates the plant’s vascular system. Once inside the insect’s body, Closer acts on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. Symptoms appear within a few hours, with mortality occurring shortly thereafter.
Phytotoxicity:
Not phytotoxic to authorized crops and recommended doses as indicated on this label.
Usage notes:
Do not use the product on fruit trees during the flowering period.
Impact on the ecosystem:
For applications on other crops, do not place the product near beehives or when bees are fully active in the crops to be treated.
The product is hazardous to bees and should not be used in areas where bees forage. Treatments should be carried out during pre-activity or post-activity hours of bees.
Avoid direct exposure of bees to the product during application, relocation, or when product residues are still wet.
