General Instructions:

Before opening, carefully read Directions for Use, Precautionary Statements, Safety Directions, and First Aid Instructions. This product is an insecticide especially formulated for the control of chewing insects in field crops. Application to actively feeding insects results in rapid knockdown and control.

Crop Safety:

TYRANEX 500 SL will not injure plants when applied in accordance with the directions on this label. However, this product is phytotoxic to some varieties of Sorghum, including Alpha and Pioneer 846 varieties. A check should be made before applying this product to a Sorghum crop, as some new varieties may also be affected. TYRANEX 500 SL may be subject to alkaline hydrolysis under high pH conditions. If using water with a pH of 8 or greater, add an acidifying surfactant (350 g/L Soyal Phospholipids + 350 g/L Propionic Acid) at 100mL/100L to reduce the pH. The acidifying surfactant should be mixed in the water before adding TYRANEX 500 SL.

MIXING:

Add the required quantity of TYRANEX 500 SL to water in the spray vat while stirring or with agitators in motion. Use immediately after mixing.

APPLICATION:

Good pest control requires even, thorough coverage of the target area. Application should be made using appropriate spray equipment and sufficient water to provide adequate penetration and coverage. Equipment settings and water volume may need to vary depending on the growth stage of the crop.

Special Instructions for 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 product specified in the Directions for Use table for each 100L 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 can then be calculated in the following way:
  1. Dilute spray volume as determined above: For example, 1500L/ha
  2. Your chosen concentrate spray volume: For example, 500L/ha
  3. The concentration factor in this example is: 3X (i.e., 1500L ÷ 500L=3)
  4. If the dilute label rate is 10 mL/100L, then the concentrate rate becomes 3 x 10, that is, 30 mL/100L of concentrate spray.
• The chosen spray volume, amount of product per 100L of water, and the sprayer set up and operation may need to be changed as the crop grows.
• For further information on concentrate spraying, users are advised to consult relevant industry guideline, undertake appropriate competency training and follow Industry Best Practices.

Aerial Application:

Spraying technique should be “placement” rather than “drift” to ensure crop penetration. The swath width should be chosen to give uniform coverage. For best results, spray in the evening or early morning and avoid thermals and still air during the day.

Rice – Bloodworm Control: Apply at sowing time or within 24 hours of sowing to flooded bays where the water depth is 150mm or less. Use the higher rate when the water depth is greater than 150mm or where high amounts of organic matter are present. Bays should be flooded at least 3 days prior to application to ensure maximum hatching of Bloodworm. When the organic matter content of bays is unavoidably high, reduce water level and monitor results of spraying. Re-apply as indicated by pest population.

Rice Seed for Aerial Sowing:

For Bloodworm control: Mix product with water then pour evenly over pre-germinated seed equivalent to that needed for sowing one hectare in the hopper of the aircraft or seed auger. The treated seed should be sown within one hour of treatment to avoid possible damage to the seed. Treated seed is only to be used for sowing. Treated seed is not to be used as food for humans or poultry or any other animal. DO NOT allow treated seed to contaminate grain intended for human or animal consumption. Treated seed is not to be fed or otherwise exposed to wild or domestic birds. DO NOT contaminate areas other than rice-growing bays with treated seed. Any treated seed not used for sowing is to be destroyed.

COMPATIBILITY:

TYRANEX 500 SL is compatible with most commonly used insecticides and fungicides, including Antracol®. As formulations of other manufacturers’ products are beyond the control of Imtrade Australia Pty Ltd, all mixtures should be tested prior to mixing commercial quantities. As changes in climate conditions can alter the sensitivity of plants to mixtures of sprays, Imtrade Australia Pty Ltd accepts no responsibility for the behavior of such mixtures.

Resistance Warning: INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING:

GROUP 1B INSECTICIDE For insecticide resistance management, TYRANEX 500 SL is a Group 1B Insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to TYRANEX 500 SL 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 TYRANEX 500 SL or other Group 1B Insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of TYRANEX 500 SL on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since the occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, Imtrade Australia Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of TYRANEX 500 SL to control resistant weeds. TYRANEX® 500 SL may be subject to specific resistance management strategies. For further information, contact your local supplier, Imtrade Australia Pty Ltd representative, or local agricultural department of agriculture agronomist.
