GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

4FARMERSALPHA-CYPERMETHRIN 100 EC INSECTICIDE 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.

Ground Application

For low volume spraying of field crops with ground rigs, use a total volume of 50 to 200L/ha except for sweet corn, tomatoes and tobacco – where higher volumes should be used. Drop arms should be used on ground rigs in row crops taller than 300mm. The application should be made as a fine spray, preferably using hollow cone nozzles and a droplet size of 150 or 200 microns.

Aerial Application

Use at least 10L/ha of total spray volume unless advised otherwise. If possible spray in a cross wind. Avoid spraying in calm conditions or when wind is light and variable.

Mixing

Add the required quantity to water in the spray tank and mix thoroughly. Maintain agitation during mixing and application. Product is compatible with diesel dilution.

Follow the general mixing guidelines for mixing wetable powders, granules and flowables. Add the powder/granule/flowable to the spray tank (~2/3 full of water) first and then add Alpha-cypermethrin. While there are no specific mixing problems known, always check the stability of any novel mixes with a jar test.
