Intrepid® 2F Insecticide is approved to combat Armyworm

The Intrepid® 2F Insecticide (EPA Reg. No. 62719-442) section 18 has been approved for use in Butte, Colusa, Glenn, Merced, Sacramento, San Joaquin, Sutter, Yolo, Yuba Counties.

You need to make certain Intrepid® 2F Insecticide is on your rice pesticide (restricted materials) permit at the county agricultural commissioner’s office. The various pesticide database companies will receive the section 18 label to index, providing pest control advisers (PCAs) access to write recommendations.

If considering alternatives to Intrepid® 2F Insecticide, please read and follow the pesticide label directions. You can reference the table, Alternative Insecticides to Methoxyfenozide Registered for Use on California Rice, but do not use the information as a substitute for the registered label directions.

All section 18 labels are product and not active ingredient (pesticide) specific. The Intrepid® 2F Insecticide (EPA Reg. No. 62719-442) is the only methoxyfenozide product that legally can be used on rice. Use of any generic methoxyfenozide products is illegal and could harm future authorizations for usage of the insecticide for armyworm control.

Intrepid® 2F Armyworm Label Update

You must have the Intrepid® 2F supplemental label in hand as if it were on the container. Intrepid® 2F is the only product with the active ingredient methoxyfenozide registered for use to control armyworm on rice. The registration was complete earlier this year, which left the registrant (Corteva Agriscience) no time to include rice on the label. Corteva Agriscience has made the supplemental label available on the CDMS and Agrian websites. For permitting and label questions, please contact your local agricultural commissioner’s office.
