General Instructions:

After Application: VERTIMEC PRO quickly moves into leaves where it remains for several weeks and is taken up by sucking mites. It is not systemic, making good coverage essential. VERTIMEC PRO that is not absorbed into plants is quickly degraded.

Crop Monitoring: Effective control depends upon regular monitoring of crops. Check crops regularly (every 3 to 5 days) during the season.

Mixing: Measure the required amount of VERTIMEC PRO, add it to the partly filled spray tank, and then add the remainder of the water. If oil is recommended, add this after the VERTIMEC PRO is well mixed. Wetting agent is not required.

Mixing Instructions for Apple and Pear Applications: VERTIMEC PRO is not systemic, making good coverage essential. To achieve the desired application rate, follow the mixing rates provided in the table.

Crop Safety: VERTIMEC PRO plus Summer Oil has very occasionally caused slight fruit russetting on some pear varieties, particularly Anjou and other sensitive varieties. A very small amount of temporary apple fruit blemishing has been associated with low water volume applications. DO NOT apply VERTIMEC PRO to apples or pears before or after applications of Delan or Captan. Certain conditions may play a part in the occurrence of this damage. DO NOT make applications under certain temperature, drying, or equipment conditions to avoid crop damage.

Cut Flowers: This product has been used on a wide range of ornamental plant species without damage. However, some species and varieties are particularly sensitive to chemical sprays. It is advisable to treat only a small number of plants first to ascertain their reaction before treating larger quantities.

Application: Citrus: To be effective, VERTIMEC PRO requires thorough spray coverage. Ensure that equipment is properly calibrated to give an even distribution at the correct volume. Use either dilute spraying or concentrate spraying methods as appropriate for your crop and equipment.

Compatibility: VERTIMEC PRO is compatible with certain oils and most commonly used insecticides and fungicides. However, all mixtures should be tested prior to mixing commercial quantities.

Crop Specific Strategy: VERTIMEC PRO should not be applied more than the specified number of times per season or crop. In addition, it should not be applied in consecutive seasons on crops without an unrelated chemical being used in between.

Resistance Warning: Insecticide Resistance Warning | GROUP 6 INSECTICIDE: VERTIMEC PRO is a Group 6 insecticide, and resistance management strategies should be followed to prevent the development of resistant insect populations. Consult with your supplier, Syngenta representative, or local agricultural department agronomist for further information.
