GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Conquest Alpha 100 Duo Insecticide is a contact and residual insecticide. It can be used as a protective treatment when applied at regular intervals or as a knockdown treatment to control existing infestations. This product can be applied mixed either with water or oil based bulking agents such as In2, or In2 Pro Spray Oil*, or compatible ULV products.

MIXING/APPLICATION

Low Volume and High Volume applications by ground rig or aircraft when Conquest Alpha 100 Duo Insecticide is applied with a water carrier. Add the required quantity of Conquest Alpha 100 Duo Insecticide to water in the spray tank and mix thoroughly. Maintain agitation during mixing and application.

Ultra Low Volume (ULV) applications by aircraft when ALPHA 100 Duo Insecticide is applied with oil based bulking agents. First add the mixing partner to the spray tank and then, with the agitator in motion, add the required quantity of ALPHA 100 Duo Insecticide direct to the spray tank. Do NOT mix with water and ensure that no water is in the spraying system.

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.

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 for the crop canopy. This is needed to calculate the concentrate mixing rate.

Low Volume and High Volume applications by ground rig or aircraft when Conquest ALPHA 100 Duo Insecticide is applied with water carrier. Conquest ALPHA 100 Duo Insecticide 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 unless detailed on the label of a tank mix partner. Apply during the 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 30 cm (0.3 m). The application should be made as a fine spray, preferably using hollow cone nozzles, unless otherwise directed in the Critical Comments.

Aerial application – water carrier Do NOT apply to trellis tomatoes by aircraft. Use a minimum spray volume of 20 L/ha. For spring/early summer application to cereals, Linola, canola, rice and to other dense crops, apply in a total spray volume of 30 to 35 L/ha. If possible, spray in a crosswind. Avoid spraying in calm conditions or when wind is light and variable in direction. Apply as a fine spray droplet size category.

Ultra Low Volume (ULV) application by aircraft Conquest ALPHA 100 Duo Insecticide, mixed with In2, or In2 Pro Spray Oil and other compatible products should be applied in a minimum total spray volume of 1.5 L/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.
