Only Intrepid® 2F is allowed for Armyworm Control

Only Intrepid® 2F is allowed for Armyworm Control

Intrepid® 2F (EPA Reg No 62719-442) is the only methoxyfenozide product to legally use on rice for armyworm control. You can still tank mix Intrepid® 2F with your later season rice pesticide applications per label directions.

The FIFRA Section 18 labels are product specific. That is why the label lists Intrepid® 2F as the single product. Use of any other methoxyfenozide product is prohibited.

Use of pesticides through the Section 18 process is an emergency exemption from registration. The U.S. EPA issued a time-limited tolerance for methoxyfenozide on rice, which expires December 31, 2022.

We should have full registration for methoxyfenozide on rice by 2022, and no longer need a Section 18 for Intrepid® 2F.

For more information, contact CRC Industry Affairs Manager Roberta Firoved at rfiroved@calrice.org or (916) 206-5039.

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.
