DIRECTIONS FOR USE
MIXING: Mix 8 L of product with 400 L of water. Add sufficient water to the mixing tank to allow proper agitation by pump or paddles. Continue stirring while adding first the OpalTM Insecticidal Soap then the remaining water. Hard water in excess of 300 ppm should be conditioned to reduce its hardness prior to mixing with OpalTM Insecticidal Soap.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS For field applications, apply the diluted solution at a rate of 700 to 1900 L/hectare using ground spray equipment. For best results commence treatment when infestation is first noticed. Thoroughly spray insect pests on plants with diluted product to wetting. Minimize run-off to reduce plant injury on sensitive plants. Opal Insecticidal Soap is a contact spray and is effective in its liquid state. Pests need to be contacted with spray solution to be effective. Efforts should be made to thoroughly reach all plant parts including undersides of leaves.
Repeat treatment every one to two weeks as needed. Apply to a maximum of three consecutive applications to ensure plant injury does not occur. Additional applications may be possible if previous experience with repeat applications of the product under the same conditions have not produced plant injury. May be used on edible crops up to and including day of harvest.

USE RESTRICTIONS: Do not use on sweet peas, nasturtiums, delicate ferns. Do not spray when plants are under stress. Use with care on new seedlings, transplants and blooms. Avoid spraying during full sun. Spray early in morning or evening or when overcast. Soap spray may cause marking of some varieties. If concerned about sensitivity of plants, apply to individual plants or small areas of plants and wait to determine if plant damage (phytotoxicity) occurs prior to treatment of larger areas.
