GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

BACCHUS WG is a biological insecticide specifically for use against Lepidopterous larvae listed on this label. It must be eaten by the larvae to be effective. Since it's most effective against small newly hatched larvae, a scouting program to determine early infestations is recommended. After consuming a lethal dose, larvae stop feeding usually within an hour but may remain on the foliage until they die, usually within several days.

Insecticide Resistance Statement:

For insecticide resistance management, BACCHUS WG is a Group 11C Insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to BACCHUS WG and other Group 11C insecticides may exist through natural genetic variability in any insect population. The effectiveness of BACCHUS WG on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Resistance management strategies may be necessary.

Mixing:

Add the required amount of BACCHUS WG to half-filled spray tank with the agitator or by-pass in operation. Maintain agitation while filling the tank with the remainder of water. Agitation must also be maintained through the spray operation.

Application:

Thorough spray coverage is essential for good control of pest insects. Apply as a spray in a minimum of 150 L of water per hectare for ground application or a minimum of 20 L of water per hectare for aerial application to assure thorough coverage. Adding a spreader/sticker approved for use with insecticides to the spray tank is recommended, especially for hard-to-wet crops such as cole crops.

High Volume (Dilute) Sprays:

Use a sprayer designed for high volumes of water. Set up and operate to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy. Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of run-off. Add the specified amount of product per 100 L of water and spray to the point of run-off.

Concentrate Sprays:

Use a sprayer designed and set up for concentrate spraying. Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume for the crop canopy to calculate the concentrate mixing rate. Adjust settings as the crop grows.

Low Volume Sprays:

When applying by ground boom spray, use the highest practical water volume. Do not apply less than 200 L total spray volume per hectare unless otherwise stated.

Compatibility:

BACCHUS WG is compatible with most insecticides and fungicides. Do not apply as a tank mix with or within 2 days of application of alkaline products.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEA AND ENVIRONMENT:

Avoid contamination of watercourses during handling, spraying, disposing of the product or its container, and during cleaning of equipment. Do not apply when run-off is likely or when weather conditions favor drift from treated areas.
