Why does the plant need more "leaf protection" later in the season?

 
James,  I am just guesing here,  but I suspect they think the low amount of
pesticide still in the plant,  will not be enough  as pest build up
tolerance.   Most pest damage is a problem in the early stages of plant
development. As the plant grows concentrations drop,  add to that insects
becoming tolerant maybe?

Using it as a late season foliar, will increase sales that's for sure.  And
yes,  that to me would be a violation of the promise of neonics.  The last
thing we need is both.

Charlie
