DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
RESTRAINTS
DO NOT apply by open cab equipment.
DO NOT apply by aircraft.
DO NOT spray during flowering or within 7 days prior to flowering. Post-flowering applications should only commence after flowering has completely finished and bee hives are not likely to be reached by spray drift.

1. BROADACRE CROPS AND PASTURES
DO NOT apply using ULV application.

COTTON
Pest: False Wireworm, Wireworm, Sugarcane Wireworm
State: Qld, NSW, WA only
Rate: 6.25-18.75 mL/100m of row OR 625 mL to 1.88 L/ha for row spacing of 1 metre
Critical comments: Apply as a spray directed into the furrow at planting. Use a spray nozzle behind the seed tube that will deliver a coarse spray in a total volume of 60-100 L/ha. The spray should cover a 10 cm band over the seed and contact the bottom, sides and all soil drawn into the furrow at closure before soil is brought in behind covering tyres in front of the press wheel.
Use higher rate with extreme population numbers.
If row spacing varies from 1 m then apply at the mL/100 m of row use rate.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
PYRINEX SUPER is a contact and residual insecticide/miticide. It can be used as a protective treatment when applied at regular intervals or as a knockdown treatment to control existing pests. Best results are obtained when PYRINEX SUPER is applied before pest populations build up to damaging levels. This product is not suitable for use in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programme where mite predators are established and providing effective mite control.

APPLICATION
Ground Application
Applications should be made as a fine spray preferably using hollow cone nozzles and a droplet size of 150 to 200 microns. The application volume will depend on the type of crop to be treated. The following are suggested:
Low volume broadacre applications to – e.g. cereals, canola, lucerne, subterranean clover: 50-200 L/ha.
Low volume row crops applications to cotton, tomatoes: 50-200 L/ha.
High volume applications to row crops – e.g. trellised tomatoes: 200-1000 L/ha except as noted in critical comments. Use 200 L/ha from transplanting increasing to 1000 L/ha at maturity.
In Furrow Application
Apply as a band spray to the open furrow at planting. Spray the entire furrow width using a nozzle located directly behind the seed tube. Ensure all spray is directed into the furrow contacting bottom, sides and all soil drawn into the furrow at closure.
Use a minimum of 20 L of water/ha. Use the higher rate under extreme population numbers.

MIXING
Add the required amount of product slowly to water in the spray tank whilst stirring or agitating. Agitate mixture during spraying.

COMPATIBILITY
PYRINEX SUPER is compatible with a range of, insecticides, miticides, and fungicides. 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.

SURFACTANTS
Additional surfactant may only be necessary on hard to wet plants and in high volume situations. Wetspay® 1000 is recommended at label rates.

INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING
PYRINEX® SUPER is a Group 1B and 3A insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to PYRINEX SUPER and other Group 1B and 3A insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if PYRINEX SUPER or other Group 1B or 3A insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of PYRINEX SUPER on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced.
Since the occurrence of resistant insects is difficult to detect prior to use, Adama Australia Pty. Ltd. accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of PYRINEX SUPER to control resistant insects. PYRINEX SUPER may be subject to specific resistance management strategies. For further information contact your local supplier, Adama representative or local agricultural department agronomist.
