DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

RATE: In the following table all rates for ground application are for dilute spraying. For concentrate spraying, refer to the Mixing/Application section.
CRITICAL COMMENTS: For all uses in this table. Apply by dilute or concentrate spraying equipment. Apply the same total amount of product to the target crop whether applying this product by dilute or concentrate spraying methods.

APPLES, PEARS
(Spring and Summer treatment)
Pest: Codling Moth, Light Brown Apple Moth, Two-Spotted Mite
State: Qld, NSW, Vic, Tas, SA, WA only

Pest: Woolly Aphid
State: NSW, Vic, Tas, SA, WA only

Pest: San José Scale
State: Qld, NSW, Vic, SA, WA only

Pest: Mealy Bug
State: Vic, Tas, SA, WA only

Rate: Dilute Spraying Rate/100 L: 125 mL
WHP days: 14
Critical comments: Spray at petal fall and repeat application at 21 day intervals as required. Ensure thorough coverage of foliage and fruit. If heavy rain falls soon after application, shorten intervals between spraying.
For best control of San Jose José and Mealy Bug at least three applications commencing at petal fall are recommended.
If Codling Moth and Light Brown Apple Moth are severe problems, shorten interval between sprays to 14 days until pest activity decreases.
Where Mealy Bug, San José Scale and Woolly Aphid are present, ensure thorough coverage of limbs and branches.
These sprays will keep Woolly Aphid in check during the period they are applied.
The addition of a specific miticide will be necessary when mite resistance occurs. Frequent observation of mites is recommended to avoid population buildup. This product is deleterious to beneficial insects. Take care when using in IPM orchards.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
This product is harmful to beneficial insects. Care should be exercised when the product is applied into integrated pest management orchards, eg citrus and deciduous fruits. The addition of a wetting agent used at recommended rates will improve spray coverage, where listed in the table.

INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING
For insecticide resistance management SUPRATHION 400 EC Insecticide is a Group 1B insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to SUPRATHION 400 EC and other Group 1B insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if SUPRATHION 400 EC or other Group 1B insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of SUPRATHION 400 EC on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced.
Since occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, Adama Australia Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of SUPRATHION 400 EC to control resistant insects.
SUPRATHION 400 EC may be subject to specific resistance management strategies. For further information contact your local supplier, Adama representative or local agricultural department agronomist.

MIXING
Partly fill spray tank with water. Add required amount of product with agitator or by-pass in operation.

TREE AND VINE CROPS
Dilute Spraying:
Use a sprayer designed to apply high volumes of water up to the point of run-off 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 run-off. Avoid excessive run-off. 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 SUPRATHION 400 specified in the Directions for Use table for each 100 L of water. Spray to the point of run-off. 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 run-off) 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 above) 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
1. Dilute spray volume as determined above: for example 1500 L/ha
2. Your chosen concentrate spray volume: for example 500 L/ha
3. The concentrate factor in this example is 3X (ie. 1500 L ÷ 500 L = 3)
4. If the dilute label rate is 125 mL/100 L, then the concentrate rate becomes 3 x 125, that is 375 mL/100 L of concentrate spray.
The chosen spray volume, amount of product per 100 L of water, and the sprayer set and operation may need to be changed as the crop grows. For further information of concentrate spraying, users are advised to consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate  competency training and follow industry Best Practices.

COMPATIBILITY
This product is compatible with most commonly used orchard sprays such as Benomyl, Thiram, Zineb and spraying oils. It is also compatible with Maneb and Mancozeb.
