GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING
For insecticide resistance management, TITAN Fipronil 200SC Insecticide is a Group 2B Insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to TITAN Fipronil 200SC Insecticide and other Group 2B Insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if TITAN Fipronil 200SC Insecticide or other Group 2B Insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of TITAN Fipronil 200SC Insecticide on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since the occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, TITAN AG Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant insects. TITAN Fipronil 200SC Insecticide may be subject to specific resistance management strategies. For further information, contact your local supplier, TITAN AG representative, or local agricultural department agronomist.

RESIDUES MANAGEMENT IN EXPORT PRODUCE
Crops:
Growers should note that MRLs or import tolerances do not exist in all markets for produce treated with TITAN Fipronil 200SC Insecticide. If you are growing produce for export, please check with TITAN AG Pty Ltd for the latest information on MRLs and import tolerances BEFORE using TITAN Fipronil 200SC Insecticide.

Livestock:
Livestock may be exposed to fipronil residues in the feed by grazing treated fodder. Observance of the 14-day grazing withholding period permits compliance with Australian MRLs for fipronil in meat, offal, and milk. To meet more stringent export residues requirements, Meat and Livestock Australia recommends Export Slaughter Intervals (ESIs) and Export Grazing Intervals (EGIs) for TITAN Fipronil 200SC Insecticide. When livestock grown for export are grazed on fodder treated with TITAN Fipronil 2005C Insecticide, the user must obtain details of the recommended export intervals from Meat and Livestock Australia and must follow those recommendations.

MIXING
Asparagus, Bananas, Brassicas, Cotton, Wine Grapevines, Pasture, Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, Sugarcane:
Slowly add the required amount of product to water in the spray tank while stirring or agitating. Agitate while spraying.
Mushrooms:
Add the required amount of TITAN Fipronil 200SC Insecticide to a small quantity of water, ensuring thorough mixing.

APPLICATION
Bananas:
Ensure thorough coverage of butts, suckers, and surrounding trash and exposed soil.
Bananas (Band Spray):
Example calculations of the quantity of TITAN Fipronil 200SC Insecticide and the minimum water volume required to treat a 100m row length of bananas for various band widths.

Band width to be treated:
1.5m; Spray area per 100m row: 150m²; Total quantity of TITAN Fipronil 200SC Insecticide required per 100m row: 60mL; Minimum recommended water volume per 100m (Trash removed): 20L; Minimum recommended water volume per 100m (Trash retained): 40L.
2.0m; Spray area per 100m row: 200m²; Total quantity of TITAN Fipronil 200SC Insecticide required per 100m row: 80mL; Minimum recommended water volume per 100m (Trash removed): 27L; Minimum recommended water volume per 100m (Trash retained): 54L.
2.5m; Spray area per 100m row: 250m²; Total quantity of TITAN Fipronil 200SC Insecticide required per 100m row: 100mL; Minimum recommended water volume per 100m (Trash removed): 33L; Minimum recommended water volume per 100m (Trash retained): 66L.
3.0m; Spray area per 100m row: 300m²; Total quantity of TITAN Fipronil 200SC Insecticide required per 100m row: 120mL; Minimum recommended water volume per 100m (Trash removed): 40L; Minimum recommended water volume per 100m (Trash retained): 80L.

Brassicas:
Ensure thorough coverage of foliage and heads.
Cotton:
For ground application, use a prepared spray volume of 35-75L/ha depending on the size of the crop. For aerial application see 'Aerial application' instructions below.
Ginger:
Apply as a spray to soil and incorporate to a depth of 200mm prior to planting.
Wine Grapevines:
TITAN Fipronil 200SC Insecticide should be applied by handheld equipment as a high-volume directed spray of approximately 500mL solution per vine, directed to trunks and cordons during dormant period only.
Mushrooms:
Apply mixture to peat moss during preparation of casing, ensuring even mixing in peat moss.
Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes:
Apply as a broadcast spray to the surface of the soil and incorporate to a depth of 15cm prior to planting.
Sweed and Turnip:
Ensure thorough coverage of foliage.

AERIAL APPLICATION
Use spray techniques that minimize off-target spray drift. DO NOT use rotary atomizers. Use application volumes between 20L and 50L/ha. Achieve a droplet density of ~60 droplets/cm² on a flat surface on the target. When spraying large droplets (>250µm), increase the application volume to >40L/ha to ensure sufficient droplets are produced. Aerial application is not recommended for brassica and potato crops.

PRECAUTIONS
Re-entry period: DO NOT allow entry into treated areas until spray has dried. When prior entry is necessary, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical-resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day's use. Human flaggers, if used in aerial spraying operations, must be protected by enclosed cabs.

PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS
DO NOT apply in weather conditions or from spraying equipment that may cause spray to drift onto non-target plants/crops, cropping lands, or pastures.
