GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:

ACP Alphacyp 100 Insecticide is a contact and residual insecticide that can be used as a protective treatment at regular intervals or as a knockdown treatment to control existing infestations.

INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING: For insect resistance management, ACP Alphacyp 100 Insecticide is a Group 3A Insecticide. Resistant insect biotypes may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. If used repeatedly, resistant individuals can dominate the insect population, reducing the effectiveness of ACP Alphacyp 100 Insecticide. Australis Crop Protection Pty Ltd accepts no liability for losses resulting from the failure of ACP Alphacyp 100 Insecticide to control resistant insects. Specific resistance management strategies may apply.

APPLICATION IN NSW AND QLD: In NSW and Qld, application of this product to Helicoverpa armigera larvae longer than 5 mm may not only be ineffective but may increase the level of synthetic pyrethroid resistance. This product should not be used to treat infestations not controlled by an earlier application or another synthetic pyrethroid. For uncontrolled infestations, use an insecticide from another chemical group, and the application of this product with an insecticide from another chemical group, such as NUDRIN*, will assist in managing synthetic pyrethroid-resistant Helicoverpa armigera.
