Directions for Use:

Restraints:

• Aircraft Application: DO NOT apply by aircraft.

• Foliar Sprays: Limit to a maximum of 3 foliar sprays per season. If water volumes exceed 2000 L/ha, limit to 1 foliar spray per season.

• Soil Application: Limit to one soil application per grape block per season. DO NOT apply soil and foliar applications on the same grape block in the same season.

• Weather Conditions: DO NOT apply if heavy rains or storms are forecast within 3 days.

• Irrigation: DO NOT irrigate to the point of run-off for at least 3 days after application.

• Run-off Management: DO NOT allow first-flush irrigation tailwater or storm run-off from treated soil to enter natural waterways.

Spray Drift Restraints:

• Ensure bystanders do not come into contact with the spray cloud.

• Avoid unacceptable impact on native vegetation, agricultural crops, landscaped gardens, and aquaculture production from spray drift.

• Maintain wind speed between 3 and 20 kilometers per hour during application.

• Avoid hazardous surface temperature inversion conditions during application.

• Use vertical sprayers only if certain requirements are met, including observing mandatory downwind buffer zones.

Mixing:

• Measure the required amount of product to a partially filled spray tank and then add the remainder of the water. Maintain agitation during tank filling and spraying.

Compatibility:

• Test water quality and all mixtures before mixing commercial quantities.

Application:

• Apply only by ground equipment.

• Ensure equipment is calibrated to provide good coverage at the correct volume.

Dilute Spraying:

• Use a sprayer designed for high volumes of water up to the point of run-off. Apply evenly throughout the crop canopy.

• Determine the required water volume based on industry guidelines or expert advice.

• Add the specified amount of product per 100 L of water and spray to the point of run-off.

• Adjust spray volume and equipment setup as the crop grows.

Concentrate Spraying:

• Use a sprayer designed for concentrate spraying and matched to the crop being sprayed.

• Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume for the crop canopy to calculate the concentrate mixing rate.

• Adjust spray volume, product amount, and equipment setup as the crop grows.

Wetting Agent:

• Add MAXX Organosilicone Surfactant at the specified rate. DO NOT exceed this rate.

• MAXX surfactant may cause russeting on pears and apples under certain conditions. Use with caution.

• Avoid using MAXX surfactant within 7 days of applying copper-based or nutritional products to fruit.

Insecticide Resistance Warning:

• SAMURAI is a Group 4A insecticide. Resistance may develop in insect populations with repeated use.

• Use SAMURAI as part of a resistance management strategy. Consult local experts for guidance.

Protection of Crops, Native, and Non-Target Plants:

• Avoid applying when relevant non-target terrestrial plants are downwind within the no-spray zone.
