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.
DO NOT allow effluent or runoff from greenhouses or mushroom houses containing this product to enter lakes, streams, ponds or other waters.
Field sprayer application: DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE S572.1) medium classification. Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground.
Airblast application: DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT direct spray above plants to be treated. Turn off outward pointing nozzles at row ends and outer rows.
DO NOT apply when wind speed is greater than 16 km/h at the application site as measured outside of the treatment area on the upwind side.
Aerial application: DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply when wind speed is greater than 16 km/h at flying height at the site of application. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE S572.1) medium classification. Reduce drift caused by turbulent wingtip vortices. Nozzle distribution along the spray boom length
MUST NOT exceed 65% of the wing- or rotorspan.
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.

RATE
Rates for orchard spraying are shown as mL of THIEF 50 SC per 1000 litres water for dilute spraying based on a volume of approximately 3500 litres per hectare. For concentrate spraying apply the same quantity per hectare as would be applied by dilute spraying. For potato seed piece treatment, use a minimum of 1.3 L water per 280 mL of THIEF 50 SC. Use the recommended rate and use a shorter spray interval within the stated range under conditions of severe disease pressure.
Compatibility:
THIEF 50 SC is compatible with most pesticides; do not mix with lime or other alkaline materials

APPLES AND PEARS:
NOTE: When using THIEF 50 SC in a tank mix, only use with a suitable protectant fungicide that is registered on the target crops at a suitable timing. Always follow label rates and the most conservative personal protective equipment, pre-harvest intervals (PHI), re- entry intervals (REI) and spray intervals of the two tank mix products.
Control of Apple Scab (Venturia spp.), and Powdery Mildew (Podosphaera leucotricha): Spray with ground application equipment using sufficient volume for thorough coverage. . When used with a tank mix partner, always use the most restrictive preharvest interval labelled for either tank mix partner. DO NOT APPLY BYAIR.
