GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
CONQUEST ALPHA FORTE 250 SC INSECTICIDE is a suspension concentrate which acts as a contact and residual insecticide. It can be used as a protective treatment when applied at regular intervals or as a knockdown treatment to control existing infestation.
MIXING
Shake or roll the container several times before measuring out product to ensure that the ingredients are well mixed. There is no need for pre-mixing. Add the product to the partly filled spray vat while agitating. Continue to agitate while topping up the tank and during spraying. Reseal partly used container immediately after use.
APPLICATION
CONQUEST ALPHA FORTE 250 SC INSECTICIDE can be applied by ground or aircraft. Thorough coverage is essential to ensure adequate control. Always apply with a non-ionic surfactant unless detailed on the label of a tank mix partner. 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 50-200 L/ha except for sweet corn, tomatoes and tobacco where higher volume should be used. Drop arms should be used on ground rigs in row crops taller than 30 cm (0.3 m). The application should be made as a fine spray, preferably using hollow cone nozzles, unless otherwise directed in the Critical Comments.
Aerial application –
Do NOT apply to trellis tomatoes by aircraft. Use a minimum spray volume of 20 L/ha. For spring/early summer application to cereals, linola, canola, rice and to other dense crops, apply in a total spray volume of 30 to 35 L/ha. If possible, spray in a crosswind. Avoid spraying in calm conditions or when wind is light and variable in direction. Apply as a spray of 100-150 microns VMD.
