GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:

Usage: This product is both a contact and residual insecticide. It can be used preventively at regular intervals or as a knockdown treatment for existing larvae. For best results, spray at egg hatch, ensuring thorough coverage. Apply during cooler parts of the day.

Application Methods:

1. Mixed with water
2. Mixed with oil-based bulking agents (e.g., D-C-Tron Cotton Spray Oil or compatible ULV products)

MIXING:

Low and High Volume Applications (Ground Rig or Water Carrier):

• Add the required quantity to water in the spray tank, ensuring thorough mixing and agitation during application.

Ultra Low Volume (ULV) Application by Aircraft (Oil-based Bulking Agents):

• Mix with D-C-Tron Cotton Spray Oil or compatible products. Add the mixing partner to the spray tank first, engage agitation, and add the required amount of NovaGuard Alpha-Cypermethrin 100 Insecticide. Do not mix with water to avoid water in the spraying system.

APPLICATION – Grapevines, Pome, and Stone Fruit:

Dilute Spraying:

• Use a sprayer designed for high water volumes, matched to the crop.
• Set up to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy.
• Apply water to cover the crop to the point of runoff, avoiding excessive runoff.
• Determine water volume from industry guidelines or expert advice.
• Add the specified product amount for each 100 L of water. Spray to the point of runoff.

Concentrate Spraying:

• Use a sprayer designed for concentrate spraying.
• Set up for even coverage using the chosen water volume.
• Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume for the crop canopy.
• Calculate the concentrate mixing rate based on the concentration factor.
  • Example: Dilute volume 1000 L/ha, concentrate volume 500 L/ha, concentration factor 2.
  • If the dilute label rate is 50 mL/100 L, then the concentrate rate becomes 2 x 50, i.e., 100 mL/100 L of concentrate spray.
• Adjust spray volume, product amount, and sprayer setup as the crop grows.
• For concentrate spraying, follow industry guidelines and best practices.

For concentrate application, use a spray volume of at least 200 liters per hectare.

APPLICATION – Crops other than Grapevines, Pome, and Stone Fruit:

Low and High Volume (Ground Rig or Aircraft - Water Carrier):

• Apply with water as the carrier, ensuring thorough coverage.
• Apply with a non-ionic surfactant unless stated otherwise.
• Apply in cooler parts of the day or night.

Ground Application - Water Carrier (Field Crops):

• Use 50 - 200 L/ha total volume for most field crops.
• For sweet corn, tomatoes, and tobacco, use higher volumes.
• Apply as a fine spray with droplet size 150 - 200 microns unless otherwise recommended.

Aerial Application - Water Carrier:

• Avoid applying to trellis tomatoes by aircraft.
• Use at least 20 L/ha total spray volume.
• For spring/early summer applications to cereals, linola, canola, rice, and other dense crops, apply in a total spray volume of 30 to 35 L/ha.
• Apply as a spray of 100 - 150 microns VMD.

Ultra Low Volume (ULV) Application by Aircraft:

• Mix with D-C-Tron Cotton Spray Oil or compatible products.
• Apply in a minimum total spray volume of 1.5 L/ha with suitable equipment for droplet size of 80 - 100 microns VMD.
• Apply during cooler parts of the day or at night.
• Avoid application in calm or very windy conditions.
