How much SELECTO 75 WSP could you legally apply to treat 1/2 acre of lawn for a cranefly infestation?

The correct answer regarding the amount of SELECTO 75 WSP that can be legally applied to treat 1/2 acre of lawn for a cranefly infestation is 3.2 ounces. This amount is based on understanding the application rate recommended on the product label, which specifies the maximum amount that can be safely used per acre.

In this case, if the label indicates that a certain total amount is appropriate for a full acre (for example, 6.4 ounces), then to treat half an acre, you would simply halve that number, resulting in 3.2 ounces.

Applying the appropriate rate is crucial for effective pest control while ensuring safety for the environment, non-target organisms, and compliance with pesticide regulations. Using more than the specified amount can lead to legal issues and potential damage to the landscape or ecosystem. Therefore, following label directions not only promotes responsible pesticide use but also aligns with best practices in pesticide management.
