Altus Insecticide, 64oz

Acropetally Systemic Insecticide for Foliar & Drench Use

A soil-applied insecticide that never reaches the upper canopy leaves a gap in coverage, which is where acropetal movement matters. Altus Insecticide is a broad-spectrum insecticide that moves acropetally from roots to leaves in soil applications, and translaminarly through leaf tissue in foliar applications.

Sold as a 64oz container.

Key Features & Benefits

• Active ingredient: Flupyradifurone — a broad-spectrum insecticide with both systemic and translaminar movement.
• Foliar rate: 7 to 14oz per 100gal — standard dilution rate for foliar spray application.
• Drench rate: 21 to 28oz per Acre — standard rate for soil drench application.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Altus move through the plant?

When applied as a soil drench, it's acropetally systemic, moving from the roots to the leaves. When applied as a foliar spray, it moves translaminarly through leaf tissue, which can provide control of pests on the underside of leaves.

What pests does Altus control?

Adelgids, aphids, leafhoppers, mealybugs, scales, and more. That broad-spectrum activity covers many of the most common pests in greenhouse and landscape ornamental production.

Where can I use Altus?

In a wide variety of greenhouse vegetable and ornamental crops, as well as outdoor nursery and landscape ornamentals. That range covers both indoor production and outdoor landscape settings.

What is the application rate?

For foliar application, 7 to 14oz per 100gal. For a drench, 21 to 28oz per acre. Choose the rate that matches your application method.

What is the re-entry interval?

The REI is 4 hours after application, shorter than many comparable systemic insecticides. That shorter window can make scheduling easier around other crew activities.
