GENERAL USE PRECAUTIONS

DO NOT APPLY BY AIR
DO NOT apply this product directly to aquatic habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs, ditches and wetlands), estuaries habitats or marine habitats.
DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.
A plantback interval of 30 days must be observed between application and planting of rotational crops, with the exception of radish, Chinese cabbage, pak choi and cole crops for which no plantback restriction is required.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Apply Lorsban 15G Insecticide to control corn rootworm and aid in the suppression of cutworm in corn and also to control onion maggot larvae in onions and cabbage maggot in broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower and rutabagas. Every effort should be made to completely incorporate granules. Granule deposits from spills and accumulation at row ends should be covered with soil.

Field, Seed and Sweet Corn

Crop: CORN (FIELD, SWEET)
Pests: Northern corn rootworm, western corn rootworm, cutworm (suppression)
Rates and Directions:
Do not apply more than 1 application per season. Do not apply within 70 days of harvest. Ground application only (DO NOT APPLY BY AIRCRAFT). Do not enter treated fields until 1 day after application.
ROW TREATMENT
Apply 75 grams product per 100 m row. Incorporate the granules into the top 2.5 cm of soil by placing a 15–18 cm wide band over the row behind the planter shoe and ahead of the press wheels. When applied as directed for rootworm control, this product will provide some reduction of cutworm populations. However, under heavier infestations of cutworms, further insecticidal treatment with other formulations may be necessary.

Equivalent rates of Lorsban 15G Insecticide per hectare for various row spacing are given in the accompanying table.

Amount of Lorsban 15G Insecticide/100 m of Row: 75 g
kg of Lorsban 15G Insecticide Required/ha For Various Row Spacing: 
102 cm - 7.4
96.5 cm - 7.8
91.5 cm - 8.2
86.5 cm - 8.7
81 cm - 9.2
76 cm - 9.8

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR EQUIPMENT CALIBRATION

CAUTION: The following table lists suggested initial gauge settings for application of Lorsban 15G Insecticide with one hopper opening per row. Be sure to check the actual application rate under your operating conditions.
1. Fill hopper.
2. Attach a plastic bag to tube opening.
3. Set your planter to the initial settings shown on the table.
4. Measure off 100 row metres and drive your planter the premeasured distance at your desired speed.
5. Each bag should contain 75 grams of granules depending on your desired rate.
NOTE: Grams WT of granules - 75 grams
Approx. mL (volume) - 100 mL
6. If the result is over or under the desired rate, adjust the settings and repeat the calibration.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
For resistance management, please note that Lorsban 15G Insecticide contains a Group 1B1 insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Lorsban 15G Insecticide and other 1B1 insecticides. The resistant individuals may dominate the insect population if this group of insecticides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action but are specific for individual chemicals, such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed.
To delay insecticide resistance:
Where possible, rotate the use of Lorsban 15G Insecticide or other Group 1B1 insecticides with different groups that control the same pests in a field.
Use tank mixtures with insecticides from a different group when such use is permitted.
Insecticide use should be based on an IPM program that includes scouting, record keeping, and considers cultural, biological and other chemical control practices.
Monitor treated pest populations for resistance development.
Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for the specific site and pest problems in your area.
For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Dow AgroSciences Canada Inc. at 1-800-667-3852 or at www.dowagro.ca.
