GENERAL INFORMATION

Ovation SC Ovicide/Miticide is recommended for use on ornamental

plants, (including but not limited to, conifers and non-bearing trees and

vines, carnations, chrysanthemums, diffenbachia, geraniums, impatiens,

hydrangeas, potentillas, scheffleras, and roses) in greenhouses, saran and

shade houses, outdoor container, and field grown ornamental nursery

stock for management of plant-feeding mites.

Ovation SC is highly active on mite eggs and early mite stages. It has

shown activity and persistence up to 45 days after application. Proper

timing of application, based on the utilization of scouting, may delay or

eliminate the need for subsequent applications of other miticides.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

Add the appropriate amount of Ovation SC to a partially filled spray

tank under agitation. After adding Ovation SC, other tank mix

components (adjuvants, fungicides, insecticides), if required, may be

added along with sufficient water to bring to the proper volume.

Maintain agitation.

Adjuvant Addition:

Often addition of adjuvants (stickers, spreaders, spreader-stickers,

dormant oils, etc.) will aid in the performance of plant protection 

products under certain conditions. Generally, an adjuvant is not

required with Ovation SC where adequate spray coverage is achieved.

Should inadequate spreading of the Ovation SC spray occur, the 

addition of a spreader or spreader-sticker may be considered. If 

addition is warranted, trial applications must be followed, using the

instructions in the section below “Notice to Users” as phytotoxicity 

can result from such additions.

pH Stability/Compatibility with Other Products:

Ovation SC is extremely stable over a wide range of pH. It has proven

to be physically and chemically stable in tank mixes with a wide range

of other plant protection products. If tank mixing is planned, evaluate

both the physical and chemical (phytotoxicity) compatibility on a

selected group of plants prior to full scale use. See “Notice to Users”

section below.

Notice to Users:

Ovation™ SC has demonstrated excellent plant safety, however,

all species and varieties of ornamental plant types have not been

tested. If a user wishes to make an application to an ornamental

plant type not listed on the label but found on a similar use site

and for a pest that is listed on the label, it is suggested that a trial

application be performed first.

For trial application, make 2 applications at a 7 day interval,

2 fl. oz. per 100 gal., to 25 or more test plants grown under 

conditions similar to those under which the plants will be grown

full scale. Wait 7 days after last application for final observation

for phytotoxicity.

Ovation™ SC is magenta in color and may leave a residue on

light colored flowers or foliage.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS

Ovation SC Ovicide/Miticide is recommended at a concentration 

of 2 fl. oz. per 100 gal. when used in high volume sprays using

hand-held equipment. For low and ultra-low volume applications,

apply 4-8 fl. oz. per acre, per application Applications irrespective

of delivery method should not exceed 8 fl. oz. per acre.

Spray application should be directed in a manner to cover all

plant surfaces, especially the undersides of leaves.

Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.

Frequency:

Ovation SC application is recommended only once per each crop

cycle in greenhouse and saran and shade house culture. For 

outdoor ornamentals, Ovation SC application is recommended

once per each crop cycle occurring within a year.

Mites Controlled:

Two-spotted spider mite European red mite

Pacific spider mite Yellow spider mite

McDaniel spider mite

Control is achieved through direct spray contact or by mite

contact with Ovation SC residue on the treated foliage.

Timing:

Ovation SC is most effective in mite management when applied

at the first sign of mite activity and egg laying. At that time, the

susceptible female mite, egg and first stage mite largely or totally

make up the population. If a high population of adult mites are

present at the time of application, Ovation SC should be tank

mixed with an adult miticide. Test any tank mix for physical compatibility and crop phytotoxicity before broad scale application.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT

Ovation SC is an excellent tool for growers to use in their mite

resistance management program. Proper application timing of

Ovation SC may delay or reduce the number of subsequent 

applications of other miticides, extending their effective life as

mite management products.

IPM / COMPATIBILITY WITH BENEFICIAL

MITES, PREDATORY INSECTS, ETC. 

Ovation SC has proven to have limited to no effect on beneficial

insects, particularly predatory mites. Ovation SC can be 

effectively and safely used in IPM programs employing 

beneficial insects.
