FORMULATION & ACTIVE INGREDIENT: NEMATHORIN 10G is a fine granule containing 10% w/w fosthiazate.

TARGETS: Control of Potato Cyst Nematode (Globodera rostochiensis and Globodera pallida) on potatoes. Reduction of potato tuber damage caused by Wireworm and reduction of Spraing transmitted by Free Living Nematodes.

RESTRICTIONS
NEMATHORIN 10G granules must be evenly applied and incorporated completely in one operation.
FAILURE TO COMPLETELY BURY GRANULES IMMEDIATELY AFTER APPLICATION IS HAZARDOUS TO WILDLIFE.
DO NOT USE on crops harvested less than 17 weeks after treatment with NEMATHORIN 10G.
Consult processor before using on crops grown for processing.

PESTS CONTROLLED
A contact nematicide/insecticide for the control of the Potato Cyst Nematode (Globodera rostochiensis and Globodera pallida). Also for the reduction of potato tuber damage caused by Wireworms (Agriotes spp.) plus reduction of Spraing resulting from Tobacco Rattle Virus (TRV) transmitted by species of Free-Living Nematodes, (stubby root nematodes) belonging to the genera Trichodorus and Paratrichodorus.

CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION
Timing
At time of planting.

Rates of Use
For the control of potato cyst nematodes:
30 kg/ha broadcast overall and incorporated
For the reduction of spraing symptoms:
30 kg/ha – broadcast overall and incorporated before planting
For the reduction of wireworm damage:
15 kg/ha – broadcast overall and incorporated

APPLICATION
Ensure that the hopper on the application equipment is large enough to accommodate the full container content and that the amount dispensed is not more than is required for the area to be treated.
Surefill operating instructions: This is a ‘one shot’ container; all contents to be used in one operation. This container should only be used in conjunction with a suitable adaptor fitted to the hopper lid.

1. Break the green seal and remove the safety caps from the valve and applicator hopper.
2. Fit the container valve on to the applicator hopper.
3. Rotate the container anti-clockwise to start the flow of product.
4. When emptying is complete, rotate the container clockwise.
5. Remove the container from the applicator hopper.
6. Replace the safety caps on the applicator hopper and valve.
7. Return the empty containers to your supplier for refilling. Do not rinse out container. The red seal should not be broken.
8. Empty containers must be handled, transported and stored as if they contain pesticide.

Depth of incorporation is important for optimum efficacy. NEMATHORIN 10G granules should be incorporated to a depth of 10–15 cm. Incorporation to a greater depth than 10-15 cm will reduce efficacy of PCN control.
Application and incorporation is best achieved using equipment such as Horstine Farmery MICROBAND or TMair, Matco or Stocks-Micrometer or TechNeat Maxicast applicators together with a rear-mounted powered rotary cultivator.
Powered rotary cultivators are the preferred implement for incorporation but discs, power, spring tine or Dutch harrows can be used provided that two passes are made at right angles to each other.

Application with Stone Separating Equipment
Where application of NEMATHORIN 10G granules is to be done at the same time as stone separation, the granules should be applied through a Horstine Farmery MICROBAND applicator fitted with fishtail spreaders with a distance of 30 cm between centres fixed to the frame of the stone separator. The fishtail spreaders should be positioned as far forward as possible and ideally to achieve optimum placement and depth of incorporation should be placed above the first roller/web. It may be necessary to adjust the position according to the soil type and conditions. It is important that the applicator is positioned so that the granules are uniformly incorporated to a depth of 10–15 cm. INCORPORATION TO A GREATER DEPTH WILL CAUSE A REDUCTION IN CONTROL.
