GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Imtrade Confront 800 WG Insecticide is a water dispersible granule formulation designed for effective application by ground or air equipment. It disperses readily in water but is sensitive to highly acidic or highly alkaline conditions, as well as strong acids, strong bases, and certain heavy metals and salts.

To enhance rainfastness, include a commercially available 'sticker' in the spray tank at the recommended rate before applying the product.

INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING

Imtrade Confront 800 WG Insecticide falls under Group 1A Insecticide. Resistant insect biotypes may exist due to normal genetic variability. Continuous use of Imtrade Confront 800 WG or other Group 1A Insecticides may lead to the dominance of resistant individuals. The effectiveness of Imtrade Confront 800 WG on resistant insects may be reduced. Imtrade Australia Pty Ltd does not accept liability for losses resulting from the failure to control resistant insects. Specific resistance management strategies may apply; contact your local supplier, Imtrade Australia representative, or agricultural department agronomist for further information.

Check with Imtrade Australia Pty Ltd for the latest information on MRLs and import tolerances before using the product.
