GENERAL INFORMATION
HELIX VIBRANCE contains an insecticide, thiamethoxam, and four fungicides, difenoconazole, metalaxyl-M and S-isomer, fludioxonil and sedaxane. This product controls a broad spectrum of seed and soil-borne diseases as well as early-season control of flea beetles.
Integrated Pest Management for Canola:
Control of diseases and/or flea beetles can be reduced significantly if:
Canola is seeded into the same field more than once every three years
Seeding depths are excessive (>4 cm)
Emerging seedlings are subjected to poor growing conditions
Canola is planted into fields with reduced tillage practices

Canola fields should be monitored on a regular basis after emergence. Flea beetles often migrate from field edges inward. Field scouting will determine if a foliar insecticide application is warranted and whether it will be required over the entire field or on the headlands only.
Foliar insecticide application should be considered if:
Flea beetle damage has reached or is approaching the economic threshold of 25% leaf area damage on the cotyledons or first true leaves.
Canola stubble or a canola field is adjacent to emerging canola fields.
Flea beetle populations in previous years have been observed to be high and the level of pressure sustained.
Foliar insecticide applications should be made immediately if:
Stem feeding is observed. This may occur under cool and windy conditions.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
HELIX VIBRANCE is a premix formulation that includes a pigment. To optimize seed coverage, water, additional colourant and polymers can be added to facilitate application.
Apply 1.5 L/100 kg seed of HELIX VIBRANCE using standard commercial seed treatment equipment that provides uniform seed coverage. Uneven or incomplete seed coverage may not give the desired level of insect or disease control. Consult the manufacturer of the seed treating equipment for advice on the operation and calibration of the equipment. Maintain constant product agitation during the seed treatment process. Allow the seed to dry before bagging.
Ideal storage temperature is above freezing and below 30 C. Repeated freeze-thawing of HELIX VIBRANCE will not affect the physical integrity of the product. If the product should freeze, bring the product back to room temperature and ensure the contents are mixed well prior to application.
This product contains a pigment that will adequately colour the treated seed. However, users are responsible for ensuring that the treated seed, when dried and ready for bagging, has an unnatural colour. If the pigment contained in the formulation does not colour the seed adequately, additional colourant must be added to the mixture while treating the seed. Follow instructions on the colourant package for mixing. Regulations pertaining to colouration of treated seed enforced under the “Seed Act” must be strictly adhered to when using this product.
