GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Mixing

Shake the container well before using. Partially fill the spray tank with clean water and add the required volume of product to the water whilst agitating. Where recommended, add non-ionic surfactant, then top up the tank with clean water to the required volume. Vayego 200 SC should be agitated constantly before and during application and applied as soon as possible after mixing.

Application

Dilute spraying – all crops except maize and sweet corn

• 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 100 L of water up to a maximum of 300 mL Vayego per hectare in a single application. 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 – table grapes, macadamias, mangoes, pome fruit, stone fruit

• Use a sprayer designed and set up for concentrate spraying (that is a sprayer which applies spray 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 spray 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:

  • Dilute spray volume as determined above: For example 1500 L/ha

  • Your chosen concentrate spray volume: For example 750 L/ha

  • The concentration factor in this example is 2X (i.e. 1500 L ÷ 750 L = 2)

  • If the dilute label rate is 10 mL/100 L, then the concentrate rate becomes 2 x 10, which is 20 mL/ 100 L of concentrate spray.

• The chosen spray volume, amount of product per 100 L of water, and the sprayer set up and operation may need to be changed as the crop grows.

• Do not use at a concentration factor greater than 2X (e.g. at a rate higher than 25 mL/ 100 L where a dilute spraying rate of 12.5 mL/ 100 L is specified), unless indicated otherwise in the Critical Comments section under Directions for Use.

• Note that the concentration mixing rate is applicable only to Vayego. The adjuvant remains unchanged (i.e. no concentration factor applies).

• For further information on concentrate spraying, users are advised to consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training and follow industry best practice.

Maize and sweet corn

• Thorough coverage of the target area is essential. Apply in a minimum spray volume of 100 L/ha. Adjust water volumes according to the crop growth stage. Use suitable application parameters (nozzles, pressure, boom height, speed, etc.) to ensure thorough and even coverage. Use only nozzles capable of delivering COARSE or VERY COARSE spray quality droplets.

• Sweet corn: Where a standard “over the top” boom spray is used, the use of droppers will help improve spray coverage to the target area i.e. silks and cobs.

INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING

GROUP 28 INSECTICIDE

For insecticide resistance management, Vayego 200 SC Insecticide is a Group 28 insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to Vayego 200 SC and other Group 28 insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if Vayego 200 SC or other Group 28 insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of Vayego 200 SC on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, Bayer CropScience Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Vayego 200 SC to control resistant insects.

Resistance management strategy

Vayego 200 SC may be subject to specific resistance management strategies. For further information contact your local supplier, Bayer Crop Science representative, local agricultural department agronomist or visit www.croplife.org.au.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT

Very toxic to aquatic life. DO NOT contaminate wetlands or watercourses with the product or used containers.

PROTECTION OF HONEY BEES AND OTHER INSECT POLLINATORS

Table grapes, maize and sweet corn: Following pre-flowering application ensure bees have adequate food sources other than the treated crop or remove bees to prevent foraging in the treated area. All other crops: DO NOT apply to crops pre-bloom or from the onset of flowering until flowering is complete. Highly toxic to bees. Tetraniliprole has a systemic action. DO NOT allow spray drift to flowering weeds or flowering crops in the vicinity of the treatment area. Before spraying, notify beekeepers to move hives to a safe location with an untreated source of nectar and pollen, if there is potential for managed hives to be affected by the spray or spray drift. Risk to bees is reduced by spraying in early morning or late evening while bees are not foraging.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL

Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Do not store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. Triple rinse container before disposal. Add rinsings to spray tank. Do not dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. If recycling, replace cap and return clean containers to recycler or designated collection point. If not recycling, break, crush or puncture and deliver empty packaging for appropriate disposal to an approved waste management facility. If an approved waste management facility is not available, bury the empty packaging 500 mm below the surface in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots, in compliance with relevant Local, State or Territory government regulations. Do not burn empty containers or product. Do not re-use empty container for any other purpose.

SAFETY DIRECTIONS

Keep out of reach of children. When opening the container, mixing and loading and using the prepared spray, wear cotton overalls (or equivalent clothing) buttoned to the neck and wrists and elbow-length chemical resistant gloves. Wash hands after use. After each day’s use, wash gloves and contaminated clothing.
