GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Mixing:

  • With the agitator running, add DiPel DF onto the water in the partially filled tank.

  • Continue agitation and add the remaining water.

  • Use the spray within 12 hours of mixing.

  • If spraying is interrupted, ensure thorough agitation before resuming.

  • Addition of a spreader-sticker may enhance coverage on hard-to-wet crops.

  • If mixing with cupric hydroxide, use immediately and do not allow the mixture to stand.

Application:

  • DiPel DF must be ingested by the target insect, so thorough coverage is crucial.

  • Use dropper nozzles and a fine spray to improve coverage.

  • Do not spray past the point of run-off.

  • Treat when larvae are young for optimal effectiveness.

  • Under heavy pressure, apply higher recommended rates with shorter intervals between applications.

  • Retreatment may be necessary if rain falls shortly after treatment.

  • Avoid using broad-spectrum insecticides during a DiPel DF spray program to maximize beneficial insect assistance.

  • Note: Effectiveness may diminish due to pests developing tolerance or resistance. Contact your local Valent BioSciences representative if control is unacceptable.

Compatibility:

  • DiPel DF is compatible with most insecticides and fungicides.

  • Do not apply as a tank mix with or within 2 days of applying alkaline products such as foliar nutrients, liquid fertilisers, or Bordeaux mixtures.

Resistance Warning:

  • DiPel DF belongs to Group 11 insecticides. Insecticide resistance may develop over time.

  • Consult with local authorities for resistance management strategies.

  • Valent BioSciences accepts no liability for losses resulting from the failure of DiPel DF to control resistant insects.
