GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Application
Treatment in small lots by the farmer
May be applied by shaking with seed in a tin, enclosed drum, plastic bag or cement mixer.
1. Premix CRUISER 350 FS with water to a total volume of not less than 5 mL nor more than 10 mL/kg seed.
2. Apply solution to seed and vigorously mix for 1 to 2 minutes.
Treatment of large seed lots by commercial seed treatment equipment
For large-scale seed treatment the product should be applied diluted with water in specialised seed treatment equipment. As for all such seed treatments, a good flow and metering system for the initial prepared solution is important. Depending on the type of seed treatment equipment, it may be necessary to increase the recommended amount of water slightly in order to ensure an optimal flow of the solution and an even treatment of seed.
Prepare the solution as follows:
1. Fill the solution tank with the required volume of water and mix with the appropriate volume of CRUISER 350 FS. Total volumes of not less than 500 mL nor more than 1 L water/100 kg seed are recommended.
2. Switch on the stirring system and stir.

Insecticide Resistance Warning
For insecticide resistance management CRUISER 350 FS Insecticide Seed Treatment is a Group 4A insecticide.
Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to CRUISER 350 FS and other Group 4 insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if CRUISER 350 FS or other Group 4 insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of CRUISER 350 FS on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, Syngenta Crop Protection accepts no liability for any losses that may result from failure of CRUISER 350 FS to control resistant insects. CRUISER 350 FS may be subject to specific resistance management strategies.
For further information contact your supplier, Syngenta Crop Protection representative or local agricultural department agronomist.

Aphid Resistance Management
When cotton seed has been treated with CRUISER 350 FS, the first foliar insecticide spray must be from a different insecticide group (ie not Group 4A).
