Altus is labeled for use on greenhouse, landscape ornamentals, greenhouse vegetables and transplants.

Altus can be applied as a foliar spray drench, including chemigation.

The REI for Altus is 4 hours, with the exception of California, where it is 12 hours.

Long-sleeved shirt and long pants, shoes plus socks, and chemical resistant gloves.

The results of extensive lab and field testing under severe exposure scenarios indicate that Altus has no direct adverse effects on foraging honey bees, their foraging activity, brood and colony development, hive vitality and honey bee health or on over-wintering colonies when used according to label instructions.

Foliar applications can last up to 28 days. Drench applications can last up to 42 days. Residual control of insect pests depends on the method of application and use rate.

Altus is both systemic and translaminar. After a drench application, uptake into the plant moves from the roots toward the tips of leaves. After a foliar application, Altus moves through the leaf cuticle and is distributed translaminarily into adjacent plant cells. It then becomes available throughout the leaf impacting insects feeding on the underside of leaves.

Insects affected by Altus cease feeding almost immediately, however death can take up to 4 days. Since they are not feeding, they are not causing plant injury or acting as a vector for disease.
