GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

CROP MONITORING

Effective mite control depends upon regular monitoring of crops during the season at 3-5 day intervals.

MIXING

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

APPLICATION

On Apples, Pears, Stone fruit, Almonds and Table grapes good coverage is important so the volume should be no less than 750 L/ha. DO NOT apply in water volumes greater than 2000 L/ha. On large Pear trees use a water volume of 2500 L/ha.

INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING

GROUP 10B INSECTICIDE

For insecticide resistance management ParaMite Selective Miticide is a Group 10B miticide. Some naturally occurring mite biotypes resistant to ParaMite and other Group 10B miticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any mite population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the mite population if ParaMite or other Group 10B miticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of ParaMite on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since the occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, Sumitomo Chemical Australia Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of ParaMite to control resistant mites. ParaMite may be subject to specific resistance strategies. For further information contact your local supplier, Sumitomo Chemical Australia Pty Ltd representative or local department of agriculture or agronomist. To ensure ParaMite remains effective DO NOT use ParaMite more than once per season.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL

Store in the closed original container in a well-ventilated area, as cool as possible, although avoid freezing. DO NOT store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. Triple rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings to spray tank. DO NOT dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. If recycling, replace cap and return clean containers to recycler or designated collection point. If not recycling, break, crush, or puncture and deliver empty packaging for appropriate disposal to an approved waste management facility. If an approved waste management facility is not available bury the empty packaging 500 mm below the surface in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots, in compliance with relevant Local, State or Territory government regulations. DO NOT burn empty containers or product.

SAFETY DIRECTIONS

When opening the container and preparing spray wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and elbow-length chemical resistant gloves. When using the prepared spray wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing). Wash hands after use. After each day’s use wash gloves and contaminated clothing.

RE-ENTRY

DO NOT allow entry into 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.
