GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Insecticide Resistance Warning For insecticide resistance management 4Farmers Imidacloprid 600 is a group 4A insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to 4Farmers Imidacloprid 600 and other Group 4A insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if 4Farmers Imidacloprid 600 and other group 4A insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of 4Farmers Imidacloprid 600 on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since the occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, 4 Farmers Australia Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of 4Farmers Imidacloprid 600 to control resistant insects. 4Farmers Imidacloprid 600 may be subject to specific resistance management strategies. For further information contact your supplier, 4 Farmers Australia Pty Ltd representative or local agricultural department agronomist.

Cotton Mixing and seed treatment Prior to pouring or pumping

4Farmers Imidacloprid from the container, either shake the container vigourously or operate pump by-pass to ensure thorough mixing of the contents. Flowable formulations will settle over time. Add most of the water into the mixing vat, followed by flowable fungicides (e.g. quintozene), coating agents (e.g. Peridam, Nancret) and 4Farmers Imidocloprid and stir until homogeneous. Then add the emulsifiable liquid fungicide (e.g. Apron 200SL) slowly whilst stirring. Calibrate commercial seed dressing equipment to ensure the seed throughput is mixed with the correct dose of slurry seed dressing. Ensure the seed dressing mixture is applied to the maximum number of seeds when initially applied to the seed. Retain seed in mixing chamber until coverage on seed is good. Store treated seed under cover in cool, dry conditions. Do not treat seed with poor viability. Do not store treated seed near foodstuffs or where likely to prove hazardous to humans or animals.

Forage and seed pasture, canola, forage brassicas, lupin, summer crops

Mixing and seed treatment Prior to pouring, shake container vigorously, then add the required quantity of 4Farmers Imidacloprid 600 to sufficient water to give even coverage of the seed to be treated. Place seed in mixing equipment and rotate. Mix 4Farmers Imidacloprid 600 with sufficient water to give even coverage of seed and spray onto seed. For small seeds, apply a total volume of 4Farmers Imidacloprid 600 plus water of 1.5 L/100 kg seed. For large seeds, apply a total volume of 4Farmers Imidacloprid 600 plus water of 500 mL/100 kg seed. Continue rotation until all liquid is distributed on seed. Store treated seed under cover in cool, dry conditions. Do not treat seed with poor viability. Do not store treated seed near foodstuffs or where likely to prove hazardous to humans or animals. Do not carry over maize, sorghum, sunflower or sweet corn seed from one season to the next season. The insecticidal activity of 4Farmers Imidacloprid 600 on the seed is maintained for a minimum of two seasons. Flow rate: 4Farmers Imidacloprid 600 treated seed may slow flow rate of seed. Check flow rate of seed through sowing machinery before sowing to ensure the desired seeding rate is achieved.

Cereal crops

Mixing and seed treatment Prior to pouring, shake container vigorously, then add the required quantity of 4Farmers Imidacloprid 600 to sufficient water to give even coverage of the cereal seed to be treated. The quantity of water used for mixing will vary depending on type of equipment and quantity of seed. Use a minimum of 400 mL of mixture (product + water) with each 100 kg of seed. Whatever dilution is used it is essential that 120 mL or (240 mL) of 4Farmers Imidacloprid 600 is applied/100 kg seed. The mixture should be gently stirred regularly.
