It can be used as a protective treatment when applied at regular intervals or as a knockdown treatment to control existing larvae. Best results will be obtained by spraying at egg hatch. Thorough coverage is essential to ensure adequate control. Apply during the cooler parts of the day.

MIXING Low Volume and High volume applications by ground rig or aircraft when the product is applied with water as a carrier Add the required quantity to water in the spray tank and mix thoroughly. Maintain agitation during mixing and application. Ultra Low Volume (ULV) application by aircraft when the product is applied with oil-based bulking agents This product can be mixed with D-C-Tron Cotton Spray Oil or other compatible products (see Compatibility Section). Add the mixing partner to the spray tank first, engage agitation system and add the required amount of Chieftain Duo 100EC Insecticide direct to the spray tank. DO NOT mix with water to ensure there is no water in the spraying system.

APPLICATION Low volume and High Volume by ground rig or aircraft when Chieftain Duo 100EC Insecticide is applied with water carrier This product can be applied by ground or aircraft with a water carrier. Thorough coverage is essential to ensure adequate control. Always apply with a non-ionic surfactant at its labeled rate, unless detailed on the label of the tank mix partner. Apply in cooler parts of the day or night. Ground Application – water carrier: 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 volumes should be used. Drop arms should be used on ground rigs in row crops taller than 300mm. The application should be made as a fine spray, preferably using hollow cone nozzles and a droplet size of 150-200 microns unless otherwise recommended in the Critical Comments. Aerial Application – water carrier: DO NOT apply to trellis tomatoes by aircraft. Use at least 20 L/ha of total spray volume. For spring/early summer applications to cereals, linola, canola, rice and to other dense crops, apply in a total spray volume of 30 to 35L/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.

Ultra Low Volume (ULV) application by aircraft Chieftain Duo 100EC Insecticide mixed with D-C-Tron Cotton Spray Oil or other compatible products should be applied in a minimum total spray volume of 1.5L/ha. It should only be applied by aircraft with suitable equipment to provide a droplet size of approximately 80-100 microns VMD. Applications should be made during the cooler parts of the day or at night. Avoid application in calm or very windy conditions. Preferably apply in light to moderate crosswinds.

COMPATIBILITY Low Volume and High Volume Application by ground rig or aircraft when Chieftain Duo 100EC Insecticide is applied with water as a carrier This product is compatible with D-C-Tron Cotton Spray Oil, Mancozeb 750 WG, dicamba, Kocide, methomyl, chlorpyrifos 300, Ridomil, Wuxal, Clethodim, dimethoate, diquat, glyphosate, Tigrex, Jaguar, simazine, Imazathypr 700 WG, 2,4-D Amine, 2,4-D Ester, 2,4-DB, MCPA, paraquat.

INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING For insecticide resistance management Chieftain Duo 100EC Insecticide is a Group 3A insecticide. Some naturally-occurring insect biotypes resistant to Chieftain Duo 100EC Insecticide and other Group 3A insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if Chieftain Duo 100 EC Insecticide or other Group 3A Insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of Chieftain Duo 100EC Insecticide on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since the occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, Sinon Australia Pty Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Chieftain Duo 100EC Insecticide to control resistant insects. Chieftain Duo 100EC Insecticide may be subject to specific resistance strategies. For further information contact your local supplier, Sinon representative or local department of agriculture agronomist.

In NSW and Qld, application of this product to Helicoverpa armigera larvae longer than 5mm may not only be ineffective but it may increase the level of synthetic pyrethroid GROUP 3A INSECTICIDE resistance. This product should NOT be used to treat infestations that were not controlled by an earlier application of it or another synthetic pyrethroid. Infestations not controlled by this product should be treated with another insecticide from another chemical group. Application of this product with an insecticide from another chemical group such as methomyl will assist with the management of synthetic pyrethroid resistant Helicoverpa armigera.
