Trigard 75WP a systemic growth regulator (IGR) for the control of dipterous leaf miner (Liriomyza spp.) larvae in ornamentals, peas, beans, and other vegetables. The systemic dipterous leaf miner specialist acts as an insect growth regulator and is selective toward beneficial. When used in alternation with DYNAMEC for leaf miner control, resistance build-up is prevented due to different modes of action.
An insect growth regulator, Trigard penetrates leaves and kills leafminer larvae before they cause damage. Trigard offers up to two weeks of residual activity and is compatible with existing IPM programs, so growers can rest easy knowing their vegetables are protected from damaging leafminers.

Trigard 75WP Mode of Action
Trigard 75WP strongly inhibits the development of fly larvae. The emergence of adults is suppressed or incomplete. Adults are not killed but reduced egg hatch has been observed. It penetrates the leaves when applied as a foliar spray and is rapidly absorbed by the roots when applied to the soil.
Trigard 75WP spectrum of Activity
Highly effective on dipterous larvae, especially on Liriomyza trifolii, Liriomyza huidobrensis, and related leaf miner species and on mushroom flies (sciarids).
Trigard 75WP Directions for use
Ornamentals:Â Liriomyza huidobrensis and Liriomyza trifolii and related leafminer species: -Apply 150-300 g of Trigard 75 WP per ha as a foliar spray or 20-30 g/100 lt. During a heavy infestation, a weekly spray interval is recommended.
A single soil application of 250-1000 g of Trigard 75 WP per ha provides a dose-dependent lasting effect from 2-8 weeks.
Mushrooms:Â Fly larvae (sciarids): -Apply 6-12 g of Trigard 75 WP/10 m2 as a surface treatment at or up to 3 days after casing. Apply on a pre-wetted surface. Water thoroughly to obtain uniform distribution.
Snow peas and French beans: Rate: 150-300 g/ha. Spray volume: 200-800 lt./ha.
Knapsack sprayer: Use 9 g/15 lt. knapsack and 12 g/20 lt. knapsack. This is based on a spray volume of 500 liters per hectare. Spray interval: 10-14 days. The number of sprays per season: maximum 3 sprays.
Trigard 75WP Rates of Application
Apply 150 – 300 g/ha. Foliar spray at 0.15 – 0.3 kg/ha Soil drench at 0.25 – kg/ha.

Trigard 75WP MAIN PRODUCT BENEFITS
- TRIGARD acts systematically and penetrates quickly into the leaves. It specifically controls leaf miners.
- Is rain fast due to quick penetration into the leaves.
- Is suitable for soil application where it is absorbed by the roots.
- Can be mixed with most insecticides and fungicides.
- Belongs to a chemical class, which has no known resistance issues.
- Is safe for parasitic wasps and predaceous mites. It fits in well with IPM programs.
- Applied to the soil, TRIGARD has a long-lasting effect and replaces a number of foliar sprays.
- Has low mammalian toxicity, so there is no risk to spray operators.
- When used in alternation with DYNAMEC, resistance build-up is prevented due to a different mode of action.
Crop protection
