GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:

ALPHACYPER is a contact and residual insecticide suitable for protective treatment at regular intervals or as a knockdown treatment to control existing larvae. Best results are achieved when sprayed at egg hatch. Thorough coverage is crucial for adequate control. Apply during cooler parts of the day or night. The product can be applied with water or oil-based bulking agents like DCTRON Spraying Oil or compatible ULV products.

MIXING:

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

1. Add the required quantity of ALPHACYPER to water in the spray tank.
2. Mix thoroughly and maintain agitation during mixing and application.

Ultra Low Volume (ULV) Applications by Aircraft with Oil-Based Bulking Agents:

1. Mix ALPHACYPER with DC-Tron Spraying Oil or other compatible products.
2. Add the mixing partner to the spray tank first.
3. With the agitator in motion, add the required quantity of ALPHACYPER to the tank.
4. DO NOT mix with water, ensuring no water is in the spraying system.

APPLICATION – Grapevines, Pome and Stone Fruit:

Dilute Spraying:

• Use a sprayer designed for high volumes of water.
• Set up and operate the sprayer for even coverage throughout the crop canopy.
• Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of run-off.
• Avoid excessive run-off.
• Adjust water volume based on industry guidelines or expert advice.
• Add the specified amount of product per 100 L of water.

Concentrate Spraying:

• Use a sprayer designed for concentrate spraying.
• Set up and operate the sprayer for even coverage throughout the crop canopy.
• Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume for the crop canopy.
• Calculate the concentrate mixing rate based on the dilute spray volume.

APPLICATION – Crops Other Than Grapevines, Pome and Stone Fruit:

Low Volume and High Volume by Ground Rig or Aircraft with Water Carrier:

• Apply with a water carrier.
• Thorough coverage is essential.
