  7. 1) A single application grub product with broad spectrum and good residual control of surface feeders: • Two applications at grub doses possible (split timing efficacious). 2) A surface feeder product with good grub activity (e.g., two low-dose applications). 3) With the SC formulation, broad-spectrum control of pests of ornamentals.
