For the control of Root Knot Nematode in Tomatoes, Capsicums, Chillies, Eggplants and Cucurbits as per the Directions for Use.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Mixing
Calculate the amount of TERVIGO required based on the area to be treated. The amount of TERVIGO to be used must not exceed the total dose required. Prepare the injection solution using a minimum dilution for injection of 500mL of product in 1 L of water. The volume of the injection solution should not exceed what can be injected in ¼ of the total irrigation volume. DO NOT prepare more injection solution than required to dose the total area to be treated.
Add the required amount of TERVIGO directly to the spray tank and mix well. TERVIGO mixes completely with water and should only be mixed with compatible fertilisers as it contains an iron chelate.

Application
Drip/trickle irrigation
TERVIGO should be applied through direct injection into drip/trickle irrigation systems. Injection equipment must be accurately calibrated to achieve the required application rates prior to treatment. TERVIGO should be incorporated into the normal irrigation schedule at the recommended timing within the irrigation cycle. Even distribution is essential. Irrigation systems should be monitored periodically to ensure all delivery points are in working order and there are no clogs or blockages. TERVIGO is most effective when drippers are located directly beside seedlings.
The TERVIGO injection solution (see Mixing) should be injected into irrigation systems during the second quarter of the irrigation cycle, after the soil has been partially wetted up. The duration of injection should be long enough to distribute TERVIGO uniformly, this will vary greatly depending on irrigation system setup and design, area of crop treated, emitter type, irrigation flow rates etc. (refer to the manufacturer specifications for the irrigation system). To achieve this inject TERVIGO over a period of at least twice the duration that it takes irrigation water to travel between the point of injection and the last emitter. This duration should be determined by observing the time it takes for the last emitter to be fully operational after commencement of the irrigation cycle.
The final half of the irrigation cycle is used to flush product from system and aid in the distribution of product into the plants root zones. DO NOT over irrigate. Soil or growing media moisture levels should be at or slightly below field capacity at the end of the application and irrigation cycle.
Planting Hole Drench Application
TERVIGO should be applied with a minimum total diluted volume of 50 mL per seedling directly at the base of transplanted seedlings or into the planting hole immediately before transplanting. Actual total volume will vary depending on equipment used, pre-existing soil moisture levels and soil type by should be sufficient to ensure uniform application and distribution.
Compatibility
As formulations of other manufacturer's products are beyond the control of Syngenta Australia Pty Ltd, and water quality varies with location, all mixtures should be tested prior to mixing commercial quantities. Check compatibility prior to use, contact your local Syngenta representative for further information.

Insecticide Resistance Warning
For insecticide resistance management TERVIGO Nematicide is a Group 6 insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect or nematode biotypes resistant to TERVIGO and other Group 6 insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect or nematode population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the population if TERVIGO and other Group 6 insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of TERVIGO on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, Syngenta Australia Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from failure of TERVIGO to control resistant insects. TERVIGO may be subject to specific resistance management strategies. For further information contact your supplier, Syngenta representative or local agricultural department agronomist.
