GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Rygel Alpha-Cyper 100 EC is a contact and residual insecticide. It can be used as a protective agent when applied at regular intervals or as a knockdown treatment to control existing larvae. Best results will be obtained by spraying at egg hatch. Thorough coverage is essential to ensure adequate control. Apply during the cooler parts of the day or night.

Drop arms should be used on ground rigs in row crops taller than 300 mm. The application should be made as a fine spray, preferably using hollow cone nozzles and a droplet size of 150 or 200 microns.
