GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Transform is a sulfoximine insecticide, in the form of a suspension concentrate.

INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING

GROUP 4C INSECTICIDE

For insecticide resistance management, Transform Isoclast active Insecticide is a Group 4C insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to Transform and other Group 4C insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if Transform and other Group 4C insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of Transform on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, Corteva Agriscience Australia Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Transform to control resistant insects. Transform may be subject to specific resistance management strategies. For further information contact your local supplier, Corteva Agriscience representative or local agricultural department agronomist.

MIXING

  • Agitate or shake the container immediately prior to use.

  • Half fill the spray tank with water, add the appropriate amount of accurately measured Transform, then complete filling the tank.

  • Ensure thorough agitation by mechanical or hydraulic action at all times during mixing and application.

  • Use only clean water within the range pH 5-9 to dilute Transform.

COMPATIBILITY

If intending to tank mix Transform with other agricultural chemicals or plant nutrients consult Corteva Agriscience.

WETTING AGENTS

Not all surfactants or crop oils are of equal quality. Corteva Agriscience Australia Pty Ltd does not support the use of alternative products other than those listed below. Agral Spray Adjuvant, Nufarm Chemwet 1000 and Spreadwet 1000 Wetting Agent. If intending to use other wetting agents consult Corteva Agriscience.

STORAGE OF DILUTED SPRAY MIX

Whenever possible the spray mix should be used immediately after it is prepared. However, if weather conditions or mechanical breakdown prevent immediate use, the spray mix may be stored for up to 72 hours without loss of activity. The spray mix should be agitated thoroughly by mechanical or hydraulic action at regular intervals during storage to prevent sedimentation. Ensure that the stored spray mix is thoroughly agitated at least once every 8 hours. The spray mix must be stored out of direct sunlight.

APPLICATION

Thorough coverage of the crop is essential. Ensure this by increasing water volume with plant growth stage. Do not apply when conditions are unsuitable for water-based spray applications. Avoid high temperature, strong winds, inversion conditions, imminent rain or any conditions that may reduce the quality of spray coverage or result in drift from the target area. Techniques to minimise drift should be employed at all times when aerially applying sprays to, or near, sensitive areas (see RESTRAINTS).

For optimum results follow the application specifications listed below:

Ground Spraying (Broadacre crops): Apply in a minimum of 50 L/ha of water with spray droplets no smaller than medium category according to nozzle manufacturer specifications that refer to the ASAE S-572 Standard. Increase spray volumes as the crop grows.

Ground Spraying (Vegetable crops): Apply in a minimum of 250 L/ha of water with spray droplets no smaller than medium category according to nozzle manufacturer specifications that refer to the ASAE S-572 Standard. Increase spray volumes as the crop grows.

Aerial Spraying (Broadacre arable and vegetable crops only): Apply in a minimum of 30 L/ha of water with spray droplets no smaller than a medium category according to nozzle manufacturer specifications that refer to the ASAE S-572 Standard.

PRECAUTIONS:

RE-ENTRY

DO NOT allow entry into treated areas until the product has dried (Aerial Application): DO NOT use human flaggers/markers unless they are protected by engineering controls such as enclosed cabs.

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 first 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 product specified in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE table for each 100 L of water. Spray to the point of runoff. If volume to be applied is <1000L/ha then use the low volume (concentrate) application method for calculation of chemical rate. For volumes > 1000 L/ha use dilute spray rate.
