GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING
For insecticide resistance management, ORBIT 290 SL is a Group 1B insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to ORBIT 290 SL and other Group 1B insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if ORBIT 290 SL and other Group 1B insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of ORBIT 290 SL on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, Adama Australia Pty. Ltd. accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of ORBIT 290 SL to control resistant insects. ORBIT 290 SL may be subject to specific resistance management strategies. For further information contact your local supplier, Adama representative or local agricultural department agronomist.

MIXING
Mix the required quantity of ORBIT 290 SL in sufficient water to give even coverage. Boom sprayers and aircraft are satisfactory for spraying ORBIT 290 SL.

COMPATIBILITY
Compatible with most commonly used herbicides from direct drilling and minimum tillage to pasture topping. Ensure that ORBIT 290 SL is thoroughly mixed in the spray tank before adding a herbicide. DO NOT mix concentrates together but add each to the spray tank separately. As formulations of other manufacturers’ products are beyond the control of Adama Australia Pty. Ltd., all mixtures should be tested prior to mixing commercial quantities. As changes in climatic conditions can alter the sensitivity of plants to mixtures of sprays, Adama Australia Pty. Ltd. cannot be responsible for the behaviour of such mixtures.
