GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
MAVRIK Aquaflo Insecticide is a potent, broad spectrum, synthetic pyrethroid insecticide with contact action against various insect pests in a range of horticultural and arable crops and on ornamentals.

POLLINATORS
When MAVRIK Aquaflo Insecticide is applied during non-foraging periods, applications will not interfere with the activity of honey-bees once spray has dried.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is an offence to use this product on animals.

Fruit crops
The rates suggested per 100 litres water are for high volume spraying to run-off. For concentrate spraying adjust the dilution rate accordingly. To ensure good control, complete coverage is necessary, especially on dense crops or where leaves are damaged or curled.

AVOCADOS
Pest: Leafrolles
Rate: 20 ml/100 litres water
Critical Comments: Apply at early flowering, with a second application 3-4 weeks later if required. Ensure a minimum of 400 ml MAVRIK Aquaflo Insecticide/hectare. The addition of a wetting agent is recommended

CHERRIES, PEACHES, PLUMS
Pest: Black cherry, Leafcurl plum and Green peach aphids
Rate: 20 ml/100 litres water
Critical Comments: Apply with oil at bud movement. A second application may be made before shuck fall if required.

GRAPES
Pest: Thrips
Rate: 40 ml/100 litres water
Critical Comments: Apply as a single spray just before flowering, ensuring a minimum of 400 ml MAVRIK Aquaflo Insecticide/hectare. The addition of a wetting agent is recommended if MAVRIK Aquaflo Insecticide is applied alone.

KIWIFRUIT
Pest: Leafrollers
Rate: 20 ml/100 litres water
Critical Comments: Apply pre-flowering ensuring a minimum of 300 ml MAVRIK Aquaflo Insecticide/hectare. DO NOT apply after bud cracking (first visible petals).

NECTARINES
Pest: Thrips
Rate: 20 ml/100 litres water
Critical Comments: Make 2-3 applications from pink to shuck fall at 10-14 day intervals. The addition of a wetting agent is recommended if MAVRIK Aquaflo Insecticide is applied alone.

TAMARILLOS
Pest: Whitefly, Green peach aphid
Rate: 20 ml/100 litres water
Critical Comments: Apply after pruning before pest damage occurs. Repeat applications at 14 day intervals or as required. Good weed control will also assist by removing alternative whitefly host plants.

CLOVER SEED CROPS
Pest: Clover case bearer moth, Blue green lucerne aphid
Rate: 150 ml/hectare
Critical Comments: Apply in early December for clover case bearer moth, or when aphids appear in the crop. The addition of a wetting agent is recommended.

OIL SEED RAPE
Pest: Grey cabbage aphid
Rate: 150 ml/hectare
Critical Comments: Apply at first appearance of the pest in the crop. May be applied during bee nonforaging periods. The addition of a wetting agent is recommended.

CABBAGES
Pest: White butterfly, Diamondback moth
Rate: 30 ml/100 litres water
Critical Comments: Apply with wetting agent as soon as pests first appear and repeat at 10-14 day intervals. Ensure a minimum of 300 ml Insecticide Aquaflo/hectare. Use 700-1,000 litres water/hectare, using the higher water rate as the crop matures.

ONIONS
Pest: Thrips 
Rate: 300 ml/hectare 
Critical Comments: Apply at first appearance of the pest and repeat at 14-21 day intervals or as required. For maximum control, ensure uniform coverage of the crop

TOMATOES (FIELD)
Pest: Tomato fruitworm, Green peach aphid
Rate: 20-30 ml/100 litres water or 150-250 ml/hectare
Critical Comments: Apply with wetting agent as soon as pests first appear and repeat at 7-14 day intervals. Early in the season, apply the lower rate in 500 litres water increasing to the higher rate in 1,000 litres water/ha as the crop matures.

CEREALS
Pest: Cereal Aphid, Rose Grain Aphid
Rate: 75-150 ml/hectare
Critical Comments: To control aphids and prevent transmission of Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus (BYDV), apply after crop emergence when aphids first appear, with a second application after 14 days if aphids continue to migrate into the crop, up to the end of tillering. Apply the higher rate if aphid pressure is high and/or longer residual activity is required. Do not apply more than two applications per crop.
