The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) recently announced the approval of a minor use label expansion registration for Coragen MaX® insecticide for control of various pests on Quinoa and Bulb Vegetables Canada. Coragen MaX® insecticide was already labeled for management of insects on a wide range of crops in Canada. This minor use proposal was submitted by Agriculture and AgriFood Canada’s Pest Management Centre as a result of minor use priorities established by growers and extension personnel.
The following is provided as an abbreviated, general outline only. Users should be making insect management decisions within a robust integrated insect management program and should consult the complete label before using Coragen MaX ® insecticide.
| Crop(s) | Target | Rate (mL product / ha) | Application Information | PHI (days) |
| Quinoa | Beet Webworm (control) Goosefoot groundling moth (control) | 83 to 125 | Begin applications when treatment thresholds have been reached. Thorough coverage is important to obtain optimum control. Do not make more than 3 applications per year. Do not apply more than once every 7 days. Do not apply less than 1 day before harvest. Feeding Restriction: DO NOT graze, cut or feed treated crops to livestock. Do not exceed a total of 375 mL of Coragen® MaX Insecticide per ha per year. DO NOT APPLY BY AIR. Do not make a foliar application of Coragen® MaX Insecticide for a minimum of 60 days following an in-furrow or soil application or planting of seed or seed pieces treated with any Group 28 insecticide. | 1 |

Toxic to aquatic organisms. Observe spray buffer zones specified under DIRECTIONS FOR USE. Toxic to certain beneficial arthropods (which may include predatory and parasitic insects, spiders, and mites). Outdoor uses: Minimize spray drift to reduce harmful effects on beneficial arthropods in habitats next to the application site such as hedgerows and woodland. Greenhouse uses: May harm certain beneficial arthropods, including those used in greenhouse production. Avoid application when beneficial arthropods are in the treatment area. Chlorantraniliprole is persistent and may carryover. It is recommended that this product not be used in areas treated with any products containing chlorantraniliprole during the previous season. This product demonstrates the properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. The use of this product in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in groundwater contamination. To reduce runoff from treated areas into aquatic habitats avoid application to areas with a moderate to steep slope, compacted soil, or clay. Avoid application when heavy rain is forecast. Contamination of aquatic areas as a result of runoff may be reduced by including a vegetative filter strip between the treated area and the edge of the water body.
Follow all other precautions, restrictions, and directions for use on the Coragen MaX® insecticide label carefully.
