DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Cotton containing the Bollgard 3 technology must be grown in accordance with the directions prescribed in the endorsed Resistance Management Plan and with the conditions set out in the current Bollgard 3 Technology User Agreement. Read before planting.

CONTROL OF COTTON BOLLWORM AND NATIVE BUDWORM (HELIOTHIS PESTS)

Cotton containing the Bollgard 3 technology expresses Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki delta endotoxin proteins and a Bacillus thuringiensis strain AB88 exotoxin protein for the control of the following Lepidopteran cotton insect pests:

• Cotton Bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera)
• Native Budworm (Helicoverpa punctigera)

Cotton containing the Bollgard 3 technology will provide significant protection of cotton against the Cotton Bollworm and Native Budworm. Supplemental insecticide control may still be required under conditions of high pest pressure or high plant stress to maintain Heliothis populations below economically damaging levels.

Monitor crops regularly and apply insecticide treatments if necessary. Insecticide selection should comply with the Insecticide Resistance Management Strategy for Conventional Cotton for the current year. For optimum efficacy, manage crops and inputs to avoid plant stress. Note that eggs and very small larvae (neonates/first instar) will be observed in the crop, as larvae must feed before being controlled by the Bollgard 3 technology.

The Bollgard 3 technology is not registered to control other pests. Other pests should be monitored and treated using the recommended thresholds.
