Endigo™ is a new, enhanced product with two modes of action to protect cotton against key mid- to late-season insect pests, including Lygus lineolaris. Endigo combines lambda-cyhalothrin an IRAC group 3 pyrethroid with thiamethoxam a group 4A neonicotinoid. This combination controls most key mid-to late season cotton insect pests by providing quick knockdown and long residual control thereby helping to achieve maximum cotton yield and quality. Endigo has an ideal use window from full bloom to cutout and is a convenient way to clean up fields at the end of the season. Endigo may be applied at 3.5 to 5.5 fl. oz/A as required by scouting at 5 to 10 day intervals. The maximum application rate per season is 13.5 fl. oz/A with a minimum of at least 5 days between application. Endigo may be applied by ground or air at application volumes of 10 and 3 gallons per acre, respectively. Endigo has a re-entry period of 24 hours following application and a pre-harvest interval of 21 days. Livestock should not be grazed in treated areas. Lygus lineolaris control in Mississippi with 4 and 5 oz/A of Endigo was 75 and 81%, respectively, compared to 71% with Bidrin at 4 oz/A plus Capture at 2.6 oz/A. In Tennessee, Lygus lineolaris control with 4 and 5 oz/A of Endigo was 96 and 98%, respectively, compared to 83% with Bidrin at 4 oz/A plus Capture at 2.6 oz/A. The use of Endigo should conform to sound resistance management strategies established for the crop and use area. At a minimum, avoid using a block or more than three consecutive applications of Endigo and/or other Group 4A insecticides. Following a block of group 4A insecticides, rotate to a block of products with a different mode of action. Incorporate IPM techniques into an insect control program and monitor insect populations for field efficacy. Endigo is not currently registered for sale or use in the United States.
