The Story
LalGuard M52 OD (formerly Met52) is a biopesticide composed of the spores of the fungus Metarhizium brunneum strain F52. For use in the greenhouse, the nursery, and the field as a foliar spray or soil drench, it's an effective control on the following pests: Whiteflies, Aphids, Thrips, Mites, Psyllids, Ticks, and Weevils and is listed for the crops: cucurbits, onions, celery, lettuce, spinach, peppers, tomatoes, grape, berries, potatoes, ornamentals, and turf. LalGuard M52 OD provides broad spectrum control with no known risks for resistance. Once in contact with the pest, the spores germinate, penetrate the cuticle, and spread throughout the body, killing the pest in 3 to 7 days. Please note: LALGUARD M52 OD contains live spores that may be harmed by storage at high temperatures or held as a water suspension for more than 24 hours. Use entire contents of bottle once opened and do not mix for more than 24 hours. See storage and disposal section for more information.
Foliar, Low Volume Sprayer: 8 - 64 fl oz per acre.
Drench: 20 to 40 fl oz to 50 gallons of water.
Plant Dip: 1/2 - 1 fl oz per gallon of water
Turf: 2 - 3 fl oz in a minimum of 4 gallons of water to 1000 sq ft. For blacklegged ticks, apply to a minimum of a 9 foot border on lawns and paths. For more mobile ticks, apply to entire yard. Make initial application in the spring before ticks become active and continue applications every 4 - 8 weeks throughout tick season.
