Where it fits
The late call. The client noticed the lanternflies on the maple in August, or the crape myrtle went black with sooty mold in July. Dinotefuran moves into the canopy in days, and one capsule set covers the rest of the season. It is also the systemic with activity on several armored scales, which is why it leads on the scale insects page.
Same pollinator rules as any neonicotinoid: read the host and the bloom window, and let the label check do the reading for you.

Where do these numbers come from?
