An insect growth inhibitor for the control of Codling Moth and Leafrollers on Apples and Pears.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
Resistance to this insecticidal product could develop from excessive use. To minimise this risk use strictly in accordance with label instructions and resistance management strategies that exist for any insect pests listed on this label. Maintain good agricultural practice. MATCH contains a group 15 insecticide, lufenuron, belonging to the benzolurea class of chemistry.

GENERAL INFORMATION
MATCH is an insect growth inhibitor. Following ingestion by caterpillars, MATCH disrupts chitin formation and consequently affected larvae fail to moult, with subsequent mortality.

Pollinators: When MATCH is applied during non-foraging periods, applications will not interfere with the activity of honey-bees once spray has dried.

Grazing restriction: The following restrictions on the use of this product MUST be observed. DO NOT feed treated crops or allow stock to graze the orchard sward for a period of 120 days after the last application of MATCH. Take care not to allow spray drift onto pasture or crops outside of the treated property.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
The rate suggested is for dilute spraying to run off. For concentrate spraying adjust dilution rate accordingly.
It is an offence to use this product on animals
