• Not suitable for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs with established mite or insect predators or parasites.

NOTICE:

• Adhere to the Summer Crop Insecticide strategy for Helicoverpa (=Heliothis) armigera resistance in Northern NSW and Qld.
• Non-compliance may lead to widespread resistance affecting future summer cropping viability.

INSECTICIDE RESISTANT WARNING:

• Group 3A insecticide (Tal-Ken 100).
• Resistance may occur due to genetic variability.
• Kenso Corporation accepts no liability for losses due to Tal-Ken 100's failure in controlling resistant insects.

Application:

• Apply by ground rig or aircraft, ensuring thorough coverage. Avoid fog or mist application.

1. Tree and Vine Crops:

Mixing/Application:

DILUTE SPRAYING:

• Use a sprayer for high water volumes up to runoff.
• Set up for even coverage; apply enough water to cover the crop to runoff.
• Adjust based on guidelines or advice.
• Add specified product amount per 100L water from Direction for Use table.
• Spray to runoff; adjust as the crop grows.

CONCENTRATE SPRAYING:

• Use a sprayer for concentrate spraying.
• Set up for even coverage; determine dilute spray volume.
• Calculate concentrate mixing rate using concentration factor.
• Adjust as the crop grows.
• Consult industry guidelines and undergo training for concentrate spraying.

OTHER CROPS: Ground Application:

• Use a fine spray, depending on the crop (e.g., 50-200L/ha for cereals, canola). Aerial Application:
• Use at least 20L/ha of total spray solution.
• Spray during cooler times, avoiding calm conditions.
• Employ a spray drift minimization strategy.

Monitoring:

• Post-emergence monitoring of citrus leaf-eating weevil population.
• Treat if 25 beetles or more are recorded in consecutive counts.

Mixing:

• Add the required Tal-Ken 100 quantity to water, mix thoroughly, and maintain agitation.

Compatibility:

• Compatible with various fungicides.
• Additional surfactant may be necessary for hard-to-wet plants or high-volume situations.

Re-entry:

• Do not re-enter until spray deposits have dried, unless wearing suitable protective clothing.

Protection of Wildlife, Livestock, and Environment:

• Dangerous to fish, aquatic organisms, and bees.
• Avoid contamination of dams, waterways, and drains.
