GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Before opening, carefully read Directions for Use, Precautionary Statements, Safety Directions and First Aid Instructions. Thorough coverage is essential.

MIXING
Slowly add the required amount of this product to water in spray tank under agitation. The special formulation of this product ensures rapid mixing.

AERIAL APPLICATION
For application by aircraft apply in 10 – 15 L water per hectare.

DILUTE SPRAYING
Use a sprayer designed to apply high volumes of water up to the point of run-off and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy. Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of run-off. Avoid excessive run-off. The required water volume may be determined by applying different test volumes, using different settings on the sprayer, from industry guidelines or expert advice. Add the amount of product specified in the Directions for Use table for each 100 L of water. Spray to the point of run-off. The required dilute spray volume will change and the sprayer set up and operation may also need to be changed, as the crop grows.

CONCENTRATE SPRAYING
Use a sprayer designed and set up for concentrate spraying (that is a sprayer which applies water volumes less than those required to reach the point of run-off) and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy using your chosen water volume. Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume (See Dilute Spraying Above) for the crop canopy. This is needed to calculate the concentrate mixing rate. The mixing rate for concentrate spraying can then be calculated in the following way:

EXAMPLE ONLY

1. Dilute spray volume as determined above: For example 1500 L/ha

2. Your chosen concentrate spray volume: For example 500 L/ha

3. The concentration factor in this example is: 3X (i.e. 1500 L ÷ 500 L = 3)

4. If the dilute label rate is 10mL/100L, then the concentrate rate becomes 3 x 10 that is 30mL/100L of concentrate spray.

The chosen spray volume, amount of product per 100 L of water, and the sprayer set up and operation may need to be changed as the crop grows. For further information on concentrate spraying, users are advised to consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training and follow industry Best Practices.

SOIL APPLICATION
Preparation of Bran Bait: Mix 10 mL of this product per kg of bran using sufficient water to give a moist crumb structure. Allow to stand for 2-3 hours before application. Gloves should be worn when preparing and applying bait. Preparation of Cracked Wheat or Cracked Sorghum Bait: Mix the required volume of this product and sunflower oil together. Then, add to the wheat or sorghum, mixing thoroughly. Gloves should be worn when preparing the bait.

SPRAY DRIFT MINIMISATION
Spray drift may occur under adverse meteorological conditions or from certain spray equipment. DO NOT allow spray to drift onto sensitive areas including, but NOT limited to, natural streams, rivers or waterways and human dwellings. A spray drift management strategy such as those in the "Best Management Practices Manual for Cotton Growers" or the "Pilots and Operators Manual" should be applied. Options for minimising drift to sensitive areas include NOT spraying within a certain distance of sensitive areas when the wind is blowing towards them (see table for guidance) or ensuring that drifting spray will be intercepted by a catching surface such as a row of shelter trees, an unsprayed row of orchard trees, or hail netting.
