Direction for Use
In the following table, the rates stated are for high volume spraying to run-off. For concentrate spraying, adjust dilution rate accordingly.

Application
Apply at first sign of attack and repeat as necessary depending upon climatic conditions and rate of reinvasion. Re-treatment is normally not required more frequently than 14 days. Avoid treatment on hot dry days when plants are wilted. Under these conditions treat early morning or evening. Delay spraying if rain is imminent. Where a rate range is recommended, use the highest rate to control severe attack. Where mite populations are resistant to organophosphate insecticides, use an alternate product.

Wetting Agents
The addition of a suitable non-ionic surfactant is recommended on hard to wet crops.

Compatibility
PERFEKTHION S is compatible with most commonly used pesticides. Do NOT mix with strongly alkaline materials such as Bordeaux mixture and lime sulphur.

Handling
Do NOT handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. This product must be under the personal control of an APPROVED HANDLER or secured.

Tracking
Location and movement of this product must be recorded at each stage of its lifecycle.

Transport
Do NOT carry this product on a passenger service vehicle.

Spillage
Extinguish all ignition sources, evacuate the spill area, and prevent any product from entering drains. Wear appropriate protective clothing. Use a full-face mask with an organic vapour canister if ventilation is inadequate. Absorb spill with an inert material (such as vermiculite, clay granules or synthetic absorbent) and place in a labeled, sealable container for disposal. Wash the spill area with water and an alkaline detergent, then absorb the washings and place in the same sealable container. Dispose of the container in an approved landfill or under at least 50cm of soil in a non-crop, non-pasture area away from water sources and homes.

Fire
In case of fire, use water spray, carbon dioxide, dry powder or foam for extinction.

Personal Protection
When mixing or applying wear impervious waterproof clothing, PVC or neoprene gauntlet gloves, face and eye protection and respirator.

Do NOT allow spray drift outside the target area to occur. Clean out application equipment thoroughly after use. Do NOT contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash waters.
