decis Flowable Insecticide controls insects through contact and/or ingestion.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Section 7: Application Instructions and Cautions
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Use sufficient water to ensure thorough, uniform coverage over entire plant surface for optimum insect control. More water may be required when dense foliage is present and depending on the type of spray equipment used.
Thorough wetting of all plants is essential for good results.
decis Flowable Insecticide may be applied by air only on crops where aerial application is specified.
Refer to Aerial Application (Section 7) and Environmental Precautions (Section 4) for instructions and cautions to follow when using aerial application equipment.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF decis Flowable Insecticide ON HIGH ORGANIC (MUCK) SOILS:
In soils with high organic content (muck soils), special care in the application of decis Flowable Insecticide is necessary.
Apply no more than 200 mL of product per hectare.
decis Flowable Insecticide should be applied only ONCE during each crop year on muck soil, prior to August 1st.

AERIAL APPLICATION:
Apply only by fixed-wing or rotary aircraft equipment which has been functionally and operationally calibrated for the atmospheric conditions of the area and the application rates and conditions of this label. Label rates, conditions and precautions are product specific. Read and understand the entire label before opening this product. Apply only at the rate recommended for aerial application on this label. Where no rate for aerial application appears for the specific use, this product cannot be applied by any type of aerial equipment. Ensure uniform application. To avoid streaked, uneven or overlapped application, use appropriate marking devices.

Use Precautions
Apply only when meteorological conditions at the treatment site allow for complete and even crop coverage. Apply only under conditions of good practice specific to aerial application as outlined in the National Aerial Pesticide Application Manual, developed by the Federal/Provincial/Territorial Committee on Pest Management and Pesticides. Do not apply to any body of water. Avoid drifting of spray onto any body of water or other nontarget areas. Specified buffer zones should be observed. Coarse sprays are less likely to drift, therefore, avoid combinations of pressure and nozzle type that will result in fine particles (mist). Do not apply during periods of dead calm or when wind velocity and direction pose a risk of spray drift. Do not spray when the wind is blowing towards a nearby sensitive crop, garden, terrestrial habitat (such as shelter-belt) or aquatic habitat. 

Operator Precautions
Do not allow the pilot to mix chemicals to be loaded onto the aircraft. Loading of premixed chemicals with a closed system is permitted. It is desirable that the pilot have communication capabilities at each treatment site at the time of application. The field crew and the mixer/loaders must wear chemical resistant gloves, coveralls and goggles or face shield during mixing/loading, cleanup and repair. Follow the more stringent label precautions in cases where the operator precautions exceed the generic label recommendations on the existing ground boom label. All personnel on the job site must wash hands and face thoroughly before eating and drinking. Protective clothing, aircraft cockpit and vehicle cabs must be decontaminated regularly.
Decis Flowable Insecticide may be applied by aircraft to Wheat, Barley, Oats, Flax, Canola (Rapeseed), Mustard, Potatoes, Sunflowers and Sweet Corn.
Follow directions in Section 8 for rates, timing of application and harvest restrictions. EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION DURING THE AERIAL APPLICATION OF ANY INSECTICIDE, HERBICIDE OR FUNGICIDE. Drift of pesticides is not always visible with the human eye. Small droplets may drift into sensitive areas without obvious signs of danger. Follow these directions precisely!
When applying decis Flowable Insecticide by aircraft, uniform spray coverage is essential. To achieve uniform spray coverage, the use of spray nozzle tips and spraying pressures which provide a small droplet size (150-250 micron range) is recommended.
Apply decis Flowable Insecticide in a minimum of 11-22 litres of water per hectare at a pressure of at least 200 kPa. For best results, use sufficient water to ensure complete coverage. DO NOT USE RAINDROP NOZZLES.
Ensure that all circuits (pipes, booms, etc.) have the correct decis Flowable Insecticide / water concentration before application is started.
DO NOT apply decis Flowable Insecticide by aircraft when the wind speeds exceed 8 kph.

APPLICATION PRECAUTIONS:
See Section 4 for environmental precautions (buffer zones).
AVOID APPLICATION WHEN TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS ARE PREVAILING OR DURING PERIODS OF EXCESS HEAT (over 25 C) as control will be reduced. Best control will be achieved when decis Flowable Insecticide is applied during the cooler portions of the day (normally early morning or at dusk).
USE ONLY FOR RECOMMENDED PURPOSES AND AT RECOMMENDED RATES.
