Maximum soil rate allowed is 14 fluid ounces per acre per year. PHI for soil applications is 30 days. Drip-applied imidacloprid should not be used when vines are also under water stress (regulated deficit irrigation) as the product will not be taken up by the plant.
Maximum foliar rate allowed is 2.8 fluid ounces per acre per year PHI for foliar applications is 0 days.
For grape mealybug, there is suspected resistance to insecticides with an MOA (IRAC) of 4A. Use a pesticide in a different IRAC group if control efficacy is reduced, or if you have routinely relied on insecticides with an MOA of 4A in the past.

Usage for imidacloprid-soil on Grapes
Max Application per Season: 14.0fl oz
Dormant to Wooly Bud
| Target | Rate of application | REI | PHI | MOA | Eff. | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Japanese Beetle | 7.0-14.0 fl oz | 12 | 30 | 4A | LARVAE SOIL TREATMENT - Kills larvae (grubs) on contact or when beetles feed on roots. Control may be achieved through soil-applied products or seed treatments. Application timing and methods vary by product and must follow the label. Chemigate into soil in the spring from March to May to control overwintering larvae. Preventative larvicides can be applied to control next year's population before adult beetles lay eggs in late July & August, but efficacy is less. Chemigation through drip irrigation should only be done with systemic insecticides. |

Drip applied applications should not be used when vines are also under water stress (regulated deficit irrigation) as the product will not be taken up by the plant. Chemigate when vineyard soil is at or near field capacity. | |
