CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION
Due to the mode of action, rapid knockdown of pests should not be expected. Obvious control usually occurs after 3–7 days and is dependent upon pest stage, with youngest larvae being most susceptible and adults least susceptible. For optimum control, application should be made as soon as pests appear in the crop, so that population build up is prevented through targeting the very young larval stages as they are produced.
Through its two-way systemicity, the active ingredient spirotetramat is translocated to growing points and is able to reach hidden aphids in heart leaves and on roots. However, it is important to note that there is little movement from new leaves to older leaves, so good spray cover on older leaves will be particularly important.

Application: Apply in a water volume of 200–600 Litres of water per hectare according to crop type and crop density.
Apply as a MEDIUM quality spray (BCPC).
Brussels sprouts, broccoli/calabrese, cabbage, cauliflower, collards and kale.
Apply Clayton Occupy at a rate of 0.5 L/ha as aphids or whitefly start to build up in the crop. Clayton Occupy may be used up to a maximum of two applications. Water volume: 300–600 L/ha. All varieties of Brussels sprouts, broccoli/calabrese, cabbage, cauliflower, collards and kale may be treated. Clayton Occupy works relatively slowly over a period of days, it works best when the plant vascular system is actively transporting the product and the pest species are actively feeding (see “Pests Controlled” section for more detail).
Lettuce.
Apply Clayton Occupy at a rate of 0.5 L/ha as aphids or whitefly start to build up in the crop. Clayton Occupy may be used up to a maximum of two applications.
Water volume: 300 – 600 L/ha. All varieties of lettuce may be treated. Clayton Occupy works relatively slowly over a period of days, it works best when the plant vascular system is actively transporting the product and the pest species are actively feeding (see “Pests Controlled” section for more detail).
Potato.
Apply Clayton Occupy at a rate of 0.48 L/ha as aphids start to build up in the crop. Applications in potato varieties that produce flowers can only be made from the end of flowering (BBCH 69).
Clayton Occupy may be used up to a maximum of four applications.
Clayton Occupy works relatively slowly over a period of days, it works best when the plant vascular system is actively transporting the product and the pest species are actively feeding (see “Pests Controlled” section for more detail).
Water volume: 200–400 L/ha.
All varieties of potato may be treated.
Onion.
Apply Clayton Occupy at a rate of 0.48 L/ha as onion thrips start to build up in the crop.
Clayton Occupy may be used up to a maximum of four applications.
Water volume: 200–600 L/ha.
All varieties of onion may be treated.
Clayton Occupy works relatively slowly over a period of days, it works best when the plant vascular system is actively transporting the product and the pest species are actively feeding (see “Pests Controlled” section for more detail).
Carrots.
Apply Clayton Occupy from 2 true leaves (BBCH 12) at a rate of 0.3 L/ha for willow carrot aphid as they start to build up in the crop.
Clayton Occupy may be used up to a maximum of two applications.
All varieties carrots may be treated.
Water volume: 200–600 L/ha.
Clayton Occupy works relatively slowly over a period of days, it works best when the plant vascular system is actively transporting the product and the pest species are actively feeding (see “Pests Controlled” section for more detail).
