Hey everybody it's Friday 7-14 and we just got an email about 15 minutes ago. We are legal to use Endigo in rice, Endigo ZCX. Now keep in mind last year ZC and so was the year before. This year it’s ZCX. We’re legal to use it in rice for rice stink bugs from July 14th all the way to October 15th I’m pretty positive, yep the 15th.

Look the other difference this year too is it’s a single application. So if we start getting in a really bad issue are we need a second application EPA has suggested us reapply for a second application under a reduced amount of acreage to get this done the quickest we settled for the one application. Keep in mind, if we start getting into a problem, we'll do what we need to do to submit for that second application. The use rate is 4.5 to 6 ounces you know five ounces looks great, don’t see the need to go up to six. One thing about ZCX compared to ZC, you’re going to have a higher Thiamethoxam load there and look if I'm going to spend this kind of money that would be in that 8 to $9 range, I know we talked about this, but I'm going to ty to ride out that earlier season population and get some soft dough out there to where hopefully the 14 days I'll get out of ZCX will get me to the finish line. Well, my number is 870-456-8486. I've got a copy of the label. I will send out a big text message later but if you need it please text me or call me. It’s 870-456-8486. Thanks.
