GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT IN THE HOME GARDEN.

2. MIXING

   • Pour the product directly into the water in the vat with agitators in operation.
   • If combining with another product, mix each product separately in a small quantity of water before adding to the vat.

3. APPLICATION BY DILUTE SPRAYING

   • Use a sprayer designed for high water volumes up to the point of runoff, matched to the crop being sprayed.
   • Set up and operate the sprayer for even coverage throughout the crop canopy.
   • Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of run-off, avoiding excessive runoff.
   • Determine water volume by testing different volumes based on industry guidelines or expert advice.
   • Add the specified product amount for each 100 L of water. Spray to the point of run-off.
   • Adjust dilute spray volume and sprayer setup as the crop grows.

4. APPLICATION BY CONCENTRATE SPRAYING

   • Use a sprayer designed for concentrate spraying (applies water volumes less than run-off) matched to the crop.
   • Set up and operate the sprayer for even coverage throughout the crop canopy with chosen water volume.
   • Determine dilute spray volume (See Dilute Spraying above) needed to calculate concentrate mixing rate.
   • Calculate the concentrate rate using the concentration factor.
     • Example: Dilute volume = 1500 L/ha, Concentrate volume = 500 L/ha, Concentration factor = 3 (1500 L ÷ 500 L)
     • If dilute label rate is 15 mL/100 L, concentrate rate becomes 3 x 15, i.e., 45 mL/100 L of concentrate spray.
   • Adjust spray volume, product amount per 100 L of water, and sprayer setup as the crop grows.
   • For further information on concentrate spraying, consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training, and follow industry best practices.

REDLEGGED EARTH MITE (RLEM)

Redlegged earth mite is an introduced pest in southern Australia, active from May to November. During the hotter months, it develops a resting stage impervious to heat and drought by producing diapause eggs in Spring. These eggs remain on the soil surface and pose a threat when they emerge in the following autumn.

• Use higher application rates in cereals and pasture after autumn rains when mites emerge for extended control periods.
• Utilize systems like Timerite to estimate the optimum timing for a Spring spray to reduce egg-laying adult mite numbers, reducing damage to pasture and crops when RLEM emerge from eggs.
