GENERAL INFORMATION

SEFINA INSECTICIDE, a dispersible concentrate (DC), is a selective contact insecticide for the management of a variety of aphid species, control of whiteflies, and suppression of potato leafhopper. The active ingredient in SEFINA INSECTICIDE is afidopyropen, a member of the pyropene class of chemistry. SEFINA INSECTICIDE causes immediate cessation of feeding.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE (See specific sections for each crop group)
Shake container well before use.
Apply recommended rates of SEFINA INSECTICIDE as instructed in the following series of crop application rate tables. For SEFINA INSECTICIDE to be most effective, apply at the first sign of insects and before the build-up of heavy pressure. Application must be timed to coincide with locally recommended treatment threshold levels.
SEFINA INSECTICIDE is not systemic. Thorough and uniform coverage of all plant parts is required for effective control. Foliar applications may be made using properly calibrated ground or aerial application equipment. Use of higher water volumes is recommended for thorough and uniform coverage. Applying SEFINA INSECTICIDE at spray volumes lower than directed can make it harder to obtain thorough coverage and may result in slower activity and/or inadequate control.
DO NOT use in the greenhouse.
As this product is not registered for the control of pests in aquatic systems, DO NOT use to control aquatic pests.
DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.

Plant Tolerance
This product has been tested on a number of crop varieties with no phytotoxicity observed at labeled rates; however, SEFINA INSECTICIDE has not been tested on all varieties and cultivars. It is recommended to test a small group of representative plants for tolerance to SEFINA INSECTICIDE under local growing conditions and prior to large-scale use.

Use a minimum water volume of 100-200 L/ha depending on the application method (see crop specific application tables). Ensure thorough coverage of foliage. Consult nozzle manufacturers’ recommendation for spray pressures for specific nozzles.

Aerial application
Apply SEFINA INSECTICIDE at rates listed in the crop specific application rate tables when insect thresholds are reached. Use a minimum water volume of 50 L/ha. Ensure thorough coverage of foliage. Consult nozzle manufacturers’ recommendation for spray pressures for specific nozzles.

Airblast application
Apply SEFINA INSECTICIDE at rates listed in the crop specific application rate tables when insect thresholds are reached. Use a minimum water volume of 1000 L/ha. Ensure thorough coverage of foliage. Consult nozzle manufacturers’ recommendation for spray pressures for specific nozzles.
