GROUP 7C INSECTICIDE

For the control of silverleaf whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Biotype B) in cotton, rockmelon and capsicum, the control of silverleaf whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Biotype B) and greenhouse whitefly in tomatoes, and the control of various scale in citrus and olives.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
RESTRAINTS
DO NOT apply if rain is forecast within 48 hours.
DO NOT apply to soils where surface water is evident.
DO NOT apply LASCAR more than twice per growing season. LASCAR should be alternated with other suitable products, the choice of which will depend on the need to maintain beneficial insects in the field or orchard.

COTTON
Pest: Silverleaf Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Biotype B)
Rate: 500 mL/ha
Critical comments: Ensure thorough coverage (See APPLICATION). Apply when industry recommended thresholds of silverleaf whitefly (SLW) are exceeded. If a second spray is required, a minimum re-treatment interval of two weeks must be observed. DO NOT apply more than twice in any one season. Apply as per current Cotton Industry Insecticide Resistance Management Strategy.

ROCKMELON, TOMATO, CAPSICUM (field and greenhouse)
Pest: Silverleaf Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Biotype B), Greenhouse Whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum)
Rate: 500 mL/ha
Critical comments: Ensure thorough coverage (See APPLICATION). Apply in 100 - 150 L water per hectare. Use high water volume 500 - 1000 L/ha for dense crops. If applying more than 1000 L/ha use a rate of 50 mL/100 L water. Apply at first appearance of whitefly. If a second spray is required, a minimum re-treatment interval of two weeks must be observed. DO NOT apply more than twice in any one season. To avoid the resistance build-up, the product must be rotated with other approved products. Apply in accordance with the SLW Resistance Management Strategy.

CITRUS
Pest: Red Scale (Aonidiella aurantii), Black Scale (Saissetia olae)
Rate: 50 mL/100 L water

OLIVES
Pest: Black Scale (Saissetia olae)
Rate: 50 mL/100 L water

Critical comments: Ensure thorough coverage (See APPLICATION).
Red scale: Apply at the time of crawler release. There are usually multiple periods of crawler release from spring through to autumn. Ideally LASCAR should be applied to control the first generation but if the infestation persists and there is significant crawler release later in the season then LASCAR can be applied again. DO NOT apply more than twice in any one season on tree crops.
Black scale: Apply at the time of crawler release which is usually December to January but also may occur in autumn. DO NOT apply more than twice in any one season.

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

WITHHOLDING PERIODS
COTTON: DO NOT HARVEST FOR 28 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION. DO NOT GRAZE TREATED CROP OR CUT FOR STOCK FEED. DO NOT FEED TREATED COTTON TRASH TO LIVESTOCK.
ROCKMELON, TOMATO AND CAPSICUM: DO NOT HARVEST FOR 1 DAY AFTER APPLICATION. DO NOT GRAZE TREATED CROP FOR STOCKFEED.
CITRUS: DO NOT HARVEST FOR 7 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION.
OLIVES: DO NOT HARVEST FOR 7 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION. DO NOT FEED TREATED OLIVE CROPS OR BY-PRODUCTS OF TREATED CROPS (E.G. OLIVE POMACE) TO LIVESTOCK.

TRADE ADVICE INFORMATION
Treated citrus fruit, melons, tomatoes and olives destined for export may require extra time being allowed between application and harvest, to be accepted in some export markets. Before you use this product, you are advised to contact Adama and/or your industry body about any potential trade issues and their management.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
LASCAR acts by suppressing embryogenesis with the insect egg and by inhibiting metamorphosis and adult emergence of target insects. LASCAR has no activity on adult insects, but hatching of eggs laid by treated adults will be suppressed. Since activity depends on the insect’s development, evidence of activity will be slower than typical contact insecticides.

MIXING
Measure the required amount of LASCAR, add to the partly filled spray tank and then add the remainder of the water.

APPLICATION
Cotton:
Ensure thorough coverage. Apply in 100 – 150 L water/ha (ground rig boom spray) OR 20 – 30 L water/ha (aerial). Ground application must be first option undertaken, aerial application may only be applied in cases where canopy closure prevents ground access. Apply when industry recommended thresholds of silverleaf whitefly (SLW) are exceeded.
DO NOT apply more than two applications per crop.
DO NOT apply consecutive applications, apply the product as part of a SLW management strategy with other approved chemistry for SLW in particular a non-Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) product. The minimum re-treatment interval permitted between the first and second LASCAR spray is 14 days.
A strategy to minimize spray drift should be employed at all times when aerially applying sprays to, or near, sensitive areas. Such a strategy is illustrated by the cotton industry’s Best Management Practice Manual.
Rockmelon, Tomato and Capsicum:
Ensure thorough coverage. Apply by foliar spray with ground rig in 100-150 L water per hectare. Use high water volume 500 - 1000 L/ha for dense crops. If applying more than 1000 L/ha use a rate of 50 mL/100 L water. Apply when whiteflies first appear. DO NOT apply more than two applications per crop. DO NOT apply consecutive applications, apply the product as part of a silverleaf whitefly (SLW) management strategy with other approved chemistry for SLW in particular a non-Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) product. The minimum re-treatment interval permitted between the first and second LASCAR spray is 14 days. Apply in accordance with the SLW Resistance Management Strategy.
DO NOT apply using spray equipment carried on the back of the user.
Citrus and Olives:
It is essential to apply in sufficient water to ensure thorough coverage. For young trees this will be approximately 1000 L/ha. DO NOT apply less than 1000 L/ha to bearing trees.

CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT
After using LASCAR IGR empty the tank and completely drain the system. Rinse the tank, pump, lines, hoses, filters and nozzles by circulating clean water through the system. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice.

PRECAUTIONS
DO NOT apply using spray equipment carried on the back of the user.
Re-entry Period:
Do not enter treated areas until the spray has dried, unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use.

INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING
For insecticide resistance management LASCAR is a Group 7C insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to LASCAR and other Group 7C insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant
individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if LASCAR or other Group 7C insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of LASCAR on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since the occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, Adama accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of LASCAR to control resistant insects.
LASCAR may be subject to specific resistance strategies. For further information contact your local supplier, Adama representative or local department of agriculture agronomist.
To ensure LASCAR remains effective DO NOT use more than twice per season.
