For control of Codling Moth and Light Brown Apple Moth in Apples and Pears. Aids in control of San Jos′e Scale.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

APPLES, PEARS
Pest: Codling Moth, Light Brown Apple Moth
State: All States
Pest: San José Scale
State: Qld, NSW, Vic, SA, WA, ACT only
Rate: 
Dilute spraying - 20 or 40 g/100 L water
Concentrate spraying - refer to Mixing/Application section
Critical Comments: Commence application 7 to 10 days after full petal fall. Make 3 applications at 7 day intervals at the 20 g/100 L rate. Make a further application 7 days later at the 40 g/100 L rate. All subsequent applications should be at the 40 g/100 L rate at 4 to 6 week intervals depending on moth activity. Thorough coverage is essential. Apply the same total amount of product to the target crop whether applying by dilute or concentrate spraying methods.
Pheromone traps may assist in timing of application.
INSEGAR will suppress San José Scale when used in a full season schedule against Codling Moth and/or Light Brown Apple Moth.

NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION

WITHHOLDING PERIOD
Apples and Pears: DO NOT HARVEST FOR 14 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Mulch or mow flowering ground cover immediately before spraying of INSEGAR to minimise hazard to bee hive broods.

Mixing: Quarter fill the spray tank with water. Start agitation and slowly add the correct amount of product to the spray tank with the agitation system running. Continue agitation while topping up the spray tank with water and while spraying.

Application: Apply by high volume (dilute) sprayer or by concentrate (up to 4 times) sprayer.

Dilute spraying
For dilute spraying, apply to the point of runoff to ensure thorough coverage of foliage and fruit. Use a sprayer designed to apply high volumes of water up to the point of runoff and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy. Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of runoff. Avoid excessive runoff. The required water volume may be determined by applying different test volumes, using different settings on the sprayer, from industry guidelines or advice. Add the amount of product specified in the Directions for Use table for each 100 L of water. Spray to the point of runoff. The required dilute spray volume will change and the sprayer set up and operation may also need to be changed as the crop grows.
The following spray volumes are offered as a guide to proper spraying of average sized trees at conventional planting intervals. The same quantity of chemical per hectare should be used when spraying by either the dilute or concentrate method.

Stage Apples and Pears: Petal fall to first cover spray
Dilute Volume/ha (average trees): 2000 to 2500 L
Amount of Product/ha:
20 g/100 L: 400  to 500 g
40 g/100 L: 800 to 1000 g

Stage Apples and Pears: Full foliage
Dilute Volume/ha (average trees): 2500 to 3500 L
Amount of Product/ha:
20 g/100 L: 500  to 700 g
40 g/100 L: 1000 to 1400 g

Concentrate spraying
Use a sprayer designed and set up for concentrate spraying (that is a sprayer which applies water volumes less than those required to reach the point of runoff) and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy using your chosen water volume. Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume (See Dilute Spraying above) for the crop canopy. This is needed to calculate the concentrate mixing rate. The mixing rate for concentrate spraying can then be calculated in the following way
Example Only
- Dilute spray volume as determined above, eg 2000 L
- Your chosen concentrate spray volume, eg 1000 L/ha
- The concentration factor in this example is 2 X (ie 2000 L  1000 L = 2)
- If the dilute label rate is 20 g/100 L, then the concentrate rate becomes 2 x 20, ie 40 g/100 L of concentrate spray.
The chosen spray volume, amount of product per 100 L of water and the sprayer set up and operation may need to be changed as the crop grows. For further information on concentrate spraying users are advised to consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training and follow industry Best Practices.

Compatibility
INSEGAR WG can be mixed with the following fungicides: Baycor*, Delan*, INNOVA Mancozeb 750, Nustar*, Polyram*, INNOVA Iprodione, Rubigan*, Systhane*, Thiovit Jet, Topas and the following insecticides: Apollo*, Chlorpyrifos, Dipel, Omite*, Torque*.
It is not recommended to mix this product with more than one of the above chemicals in the tank. As formulations of other manufacturer’s products are beyond the control of Syngenta Crop Protection, all mixtures should be tested prior to mixing commercial quantities.

GROUP 7 B INSECTICIDE
Insecticide Resistance Warning
For insecticide resistance management INSEGAR WG is a Group 7B insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to INSEGAR and other Group 7B insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if INSEGAR or other Group 7B insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of INSEGAR on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, Syngenta Crop Protection Pty Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of INSEGAR to control resistant insects. INSEGAR may be subject to specific resistance management strategies. For further information contact your local supplier, Syngenta Crop Protection representative or local agricultural department agronomist.
