General Instructions for ALBAUGH ACARAMIK - Mite Control on Various Crops

1. Product Overview:

   • ALBAUGH ACARAMIK is for controlling pest mites on pears, apples, tomatoes, citrus, hops, strawberries, and ornamentals.
   • Additionally, it is effective against pest mites and native budworm on cotton.
   • It quickly moves into leaves after application, remaining for several weeks.
   • Good coverage is essential as ALBAUGH ACARAMIK is not synthetic, and unabsorbed Abamectin degrades rapidly.

2. Crop Monitoring:

   • Regularly monitor crops every 3-5 days during the season for effective control.

3. Application on Cotton:

   • Air Application:

     • Apply by spray with a reliable crosswind for good canopy penetration.
     • Application is recommended in cooler parts of the day or night.
     • Preferably, use aircraft fitted with Micronair atomizers.

   • Ground Application:

     • Use inter-row droppers with nozzles spraying towards the cotton rows.
     • Nozzles should be level with or just below the canopy, spraying at right angles to the ground.

4. Mixing Instructions:

   • Measure the required amount of ALBAUGH ACARAMIK, add to the partly filled spray tank, and then add the remainder of the water.
   • If oil is recommended, add it after ALBAUGH ACARAMIK is well mixed.
   • Wetting agent is not required.

5. Mixing for Apple and Pear Applications:

   • For a mixture of 750ml ALBAUGH ACARAMIK plus 5L summer oil per hectare, follow the provided mixing rates.

   Water (Amount per 100 L)	ALBAUGH ACARAMIK	Summer Oil
   1,000 L/ha (minimum)	75 ml	500 ml

6. Crop Safety:

   • ALBAUGH ACARAMIK plus Summer Oil may occasionally cause slight russetting on sensitive pear varieties.
   • Some apple fruit blemishing may occur with low water volume applications.
   • Severe fruit russetting may occur on sensitive apple varieties when used within 7 days before or after the fungicide DELAN SC*.

7. Resistance Warning:

   • ALBAUGH ACARAMIK is a Group 6 insecticide.
   • Resistance management is crucial; repeated use can lead to resistance.
   • The product should not be applied more than the recommended number of times per season/crop.
   • Rotate ALBAUGH ACARAMIK with approved miticides from other chemical groups.
