Proclaim is an IPM friendly, yet highly effective, insecticide for the the control of Light Brown Apple Moth during critical stages of grape vine growth. 

For the control of Diamondback Moth (Cabbage Moth) and Cabbage White Butterfly in Brassica vegetables, Lightbrown Apple Moth and Grapevine Moth in Grapes and Heliothis in Capsicum, Lettuce, Sweet Corn and Tomatoes

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

BRASSICA VEGETABLES Broccoli, Brussels Sprout, Cabbages, Cauliflower only
Pest: Diamondback Moth (Cabbage Moth) (Plutella xylostella) and Cabbage White Butterfly (Pieris rapae)
Rate: 250 to 300 g/ha
Critical Comments: Spray at first signs of insect infestation as indicated by local spray thresholds. Use the lower rate on low to moderate infestations. Add Citowett* or Agral® at the appropriate label rate. DO NOT make more than 4 applications to any brassica crop. Where more than one crop is grown DO NOT make more than 4 applications of PROCLAIM in any one year.
PROCLAIM should be used according to CropLife insecticide resistance strategies.

CAPSICUM, LETTUCE  
Pest: Heliothis (Helicoverpa armigera and Helicoverpa punctigera)
Rate: 150 to 250 g/ha
Critical Comments: Spray at first signs of insect infestation as indicated by local spray thresholds. For best results apply soon after the Helicoverpa eggs have hatched. DO NOT apply more than 4 sprays of Proclaim per crop. Where more than one crop is grown per year DO NOT apply more than 4 sprays per year. Ensure thorough spray coverage.
Use the lower rate when targeting light infestations of small larvae. Use 250 g/ha during periods of heavy insect pressure or under very hot and sunny conditions. PROCLAIM should be used according to the CropLife resistance strategies.

GRAPES Except grapes grown for dried fruit production
Pest: Lightbrown Apple Moth, Grapevine Moth
Rate: 
Dilute Spraying 15 g/100 L
Concentrate Spraying Refer to the Mixing/ Application Section
Critical Comments: DO NOT apply after bunch closure. For optimal control of Light Brown Apple Moth apply soon after egg lay when larvae are small in size and before larvae become webbed into the bunches. Eggs laid after application on new growth may not be controlled.
For Grapevine Moth control, spray when local threshold levels have been reached.
Monitor pest levels after application, a further application may be required (minimum re-treatment interval: 7 to 14 days).
Apply by dilute or concentrate spraying equipment. Apply a maximum of 2 applications. Ensure thorough coverage. Apply the same amount of product to the target crop whether applying this product by dilute or concentrate spraying methods.

SWEET CORN
Pest: Heliothis (Helicoverpa armigera , Helicoverpa punctigera)
Rate: 150 to 250 g/ha
Critical Comments: For best results apply just prior to or just after the Helicoverpa eggs have hatched, but before larvae enter the cob. DO NOT apply more than 4 sprays of PROCLAIM per crop. Where more than one crop is grown per year DO NOT apply more than 4 sprays per year. Thorough spray coverage is critical. Larvae present within the cob at the time of spraying may not be controlled.
Use the lower rate when targeting light infestations of small larvae.
PROCLAIM should be used according to the CropLife resistance strategies.

TOMATOES
Pest: Heliothis (Helicoverpa armigera , Helicoverpa punctigera)
Rate: 
150 to 250 g/ha or 15 to 25 g/100 L (dilute spraying) for trellised Tomatoes.
Concentrate Spraying Refer to the Mixing/ Application section
Critical Comments: Spray at first signs of insect infestation as indicated by local spray thresholds. For best results apply soon after the Helicoverpa eggs have hatched.  DO NOT apply more than 4 sprays of PROCLAIM per crop. Where more than one crop is grown per year DO NOT apply more than 4 sprays per year. Ensure thorough spray coverage.
Use the lower rate when targeting light infestations of small larvae. Use 250 g/ha during periods of heavy insect pressure or under very hot and sunny conditions. Trellised Tomatoes: In the case of dilute spraying (g/100 L) apply in the range of 400 to 500 L/ha after transplanting and increase to 800 to 1000 L/ha at full canopy.
PROCLAIM should be used according to the CropLife resistance strategies.

EXPORT TRADE ADVICE
Treated crop commodities destined for export may require extra time being allowed between application and harvest, as some export market have either no Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) or different MRLs to those of Australia. Details of overseas standards and any export interval can be obtained by contacting Syngenta Crop Protection before using this product.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Mixing
Add the required amount of PROCLAIM to a partly filled spray tank, and then add the remainder of the water.

Application
PROCLAIM is not systemic making good coverage essential - ensure thorough coverage of the crop DO NOT apply by aerial application
Brassica Vegetables: Apply PROCLAIM in a minimum of 400 L water/ha
Capsicums, Lettuce, Sweet Corn, Tomatoes: Ensure thorough coverage of the crop Grapes: Apply PROCLAIM in a minimum of 250 L water/ha

Mixing/Application – Grapes and Trellised Tomatoes
Dilute Spraying: 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 expert 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.
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) 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: For example 1000 L/ha
- Your chosen concentrate spray volume: For example 500 L/ha
- The concentration factor in this example is: 2 X (ie. 1000 L / 500 L = 2)
- If the dilute label rate is 15 g/100 L, then the concentrate rate becomes 2 x 15, that is 30 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
PROCLAIM is compatible with Chess® Insecticide, Delfin* WG Insecticide, Pirimor® WG Aphicide, Supracide® 400 EC, Topas® 100 EC Systemic Fungicide, Citowett, Agral, Confidor* 200SC Insecticide, Mavrik* Aquaflo Insecticide and mancozeb. As formulations of other manufacturer’s products are beyond the control of Syngenta, and the quality of water may vary with location, all mixtures should be tested prior to mixing commercial quantities.

GROUP 6 INSECTICIDE

Insecticide Resistance Warning
For insecticide resistance management PROCLAIM Insecticide is a Group 6 insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to PROCLAIM and other Group 6 insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if PROCLAIM and other Group 6 insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of PROCLAIM on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, Syngenta Crop Protection accepts no liability for any losses that may result from failure of PROCLAIM to control resistant insects. PROCLAIM may be subject to specific resistance management strategies. For further information contact your supplier, Syngenta Crop Protection representative or local agricultural department agronomist.
