Entrust SC is a contact insecticide formulated for the control of various lepidopterous larvae (worms or caterpillars), leafminers, thrips, and red imported fire ants. It features the active ingredient spinosad, which is derived from a natural soil bacterium. This product is intended for use on a wide variety of crops, including vegetables, fruits, ornamentals, and field crops like cotton, corn, and soybeans. It is applied as a foliar spray or through specialized equipment like spray tanks or irrigation systems. Because it is a contact insecticide, it is most effective when it directly hits the target pest. Users should be aware of specific handling requirements, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) such as long-sleeved shirts, pants, and shoes. The label provides detailed instructions on mixing, dilution rates based on specific pests and crops, and critical timing restrictions to manage resistance. It also includes important environmental precautions to protect non-target insects and prevent runoff into water bodies.
