DO NOT use less than the minimum volume of water specified.
Reduced volume spraying must not be used for cereal aphid control in wheat and barley after 31 March in the year of harvest.
This product must not be applied to a cereal crop if any product containing pyrethroid insecticide or dimethoate has been applied to that crop after the start of ear emergence (GS51).
Do not apply this product in tank mixture with a triazole-containing fungicide when bees are likely to be actively foraging in the crop.
It is recommended that as a matter of good practice, spraying in oilseed rape should becarried out in the late evening or early morning or in dull weather if at all possible and localbeekeepers should be advised of the intention to spray and the chemical being used.
To protect non target insects/arthropods respect an unsprayed buffer zone of 5m to non-crop land.

Wheat and Barley
Maximum number of application: 2
Pest – Cereal aphids (autumn/winter)
Also reduction of spread of barley yellow dwarf virus and
reduction of yellow cereal fly
Application rate: 125 ml/ha
Timing of application:
High risk situation: e.g. crops drilled before the 3rd week of
September, crops following grass or grassy stubbles, or crops in areas with a history of BYDV.
The first application should be made when aphids are first seen in the crop (or by mid-October). A second application will be necessary at the end of the aphid migration, which is normally at the end of October or beginning of November. Where conditions continue to favour prolonged activity e.g. mild winters, and where two applications of another insecticide have already been made in the autumn, one application of FASTHRIN 10 EC can be made in December to March.
Other situations: Apply in late October or early November to crops which have emerged by mid-October if aphids are found, or on ADAS warnings. NOTE: FASTHRIN 10 EC applied in the autumn for aphid control will also reduce the number of yellow cereal fly if present in the crop.
Please refer to Resistance Management Section for more information
Pest – Cereal aphids (summer)
Application rate: 125 ml/ha in 200 litres of water per hectare
Timing of application: Apply between the onset of flowering and the milky ripe stage (GS 61 to 73). Details of thresholds are available from
ADAS or your specialist adviser. This product must not be applied to a cereal crop if any product containing a pyrethroid insecticide or dimethoate has been applied to that crop after the start of ear emergence (GS 51).
Please refer to Resistance Management Section for more information.

Winter oilseed rape
It is recommended that as a matter of good practice, spraying in oilseed rape should be carried out in the late evening if at all possible and local beekeepers should be advised of theintention to spray and the chemical being used at least 24 hours in advance.
Maximum number of application: 2
Pest – Cabbage stem flea beetle and rape winter stem weevil
Also reduction of spread of beet western yellow virus

Application rate: 100 ml/ha
Timing of application: FASTHRIN 10 EC should be applied when adult cabbage stem flea beetle feeding damage is first seen on young rape plants. A second application should be made when larval damage is seen in the leaf petioles (normally one month later). In situations where no adult feeding damage is seen, the first application should be made when larval damage is first seen in the leaf petioles, followed by a second application one month later*.
NOTE: The use of FASTHRIN 10 EC for the control of cabbage stem flea beetle will also control the adults and young larvae of rape winter stem weevil if these are present in the crop at the time of application.
Application of FASTHRIN 10 EC at these timings will also reduce the spread of Beet Western Yellows Virus.
