Formulation
A water dispersible granule containing 300 g/kg indoxacarb.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
IMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the Product Label. All instructions within this section must be read carefully in order to obtain safe and successful use of this product.

 

Rumo may be applied to the following crops:

Pest controlled: Rumo offers control of Pollen Beetle (Meligethes spp.) including pyrethroid resistant forms. Rumo stops pollen beetles feeding very quickly but the pollen beetles may take several days to die.

Dose: 85 g/ha in 200 l/ha using boom sprayer.

Timing: Apply when pollen beetles are present and reaching threshold levels. For effective control of Pollen Beetle, sprays should be applied at the green bud stage. Application may be made before GS 60 first flowers open growth stage. DuPont trials have shown that a rate of 62.5 g/ha of Rumo® gives control of Pollen Beetle at least as good as competitor standards, eg neonicotinoids.

 For persistent control of high populations, DuPont would recommend 85 g/ha of Rumo (equivalent to approx 3 ha pack).

 For lower populations, or where 10 days persistence is not required, 62.5 g/ha of Rumo would be appropriate (equivalent to 4 ha pack).

Pests controlled: Cabbage whites (Pieris spp.), Cabbage moth (Mamestra brassicae), Garden pebble moth (Evergestis forficalis), Cabbage leafroller (Clepsis spectrana) and Diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella).

Dose: 85 g/ha in 200 l/ha using boom sprayer.

Timing: Treat when first caterpillars are detected or 7-10 days after trapping of the first adults in pheromone traps. Subsequent treatments may be applied at 8-14 day intervals as required.

 

Pests controlled: Golden twin-spot moth (Chrysodeixis chalcites), Beet armyworm (Spodoptera exigua), Cabbage moth (Mamestra brassicae), Tomato moth (Lacanobia oleracea), Silver y-moth (Autographa gamma) and other Plusia species and leafrollers.

Dose: 0.0125% w/v (12.5 g/100 L of water).

Timing: Treat as soon as the first caterpillars (damage) are detected. Subsequent treatments may be applied at 8-14 day intervals as required.

Note: Since there is only limited experience with this use, a test spraying should be performed to determine if the corresponding plant and/or variety tolerates the application.

 

Rumo can only be applied once to a crop of oilseed rape.

Rumo can be applied three times to a crop of cabbage, cauliflower or broccoli.

Rumo can be applied six times per year to approved protected vegetables.

 

Rumo is safe to use on all recommended crops if used as directed.

 

In accordance with good agricultural practice, avoid spraying when bees are actively

foraging i.e. during the heat of the da

 

When insecticides with the same mode of action are used repeatedly over several years to control the same species in the same field, naturally-occurring resistant strains may survive a correctly applied treatment, propagate, and become dominant in that field. An insect can be resistant if the product applied under recommended conditions does not work well. Some insects have developed resistance to commercially available products. When resistance occurs, recommended rates fail to suppress the pest population below economic thresholds.

It is important that the grower considers the following:

• Alternate the use of Rumo with products with a different mode of action than indoxacarb.

• Monitor insect populations and apply Rumo when locally determined economic thresholds are reached.

• Follow the directions for use as mentioned on this label, regarding dose, interval and optimum application timing.

Growers should consult the IRAG website for further information on the current resistance management strategy for pollen beetle.

 

RESTRICTIONS
RUMO should not be applied to any crop suffering from stress as a result of drought, waterlogging, low temperatures, pest or disease attack, nutrient or lime deficiency or other factors reducing crop growth.
Good agricultural practice suggests that RUMO should be used when bees are less active (i.e. early morning or late evening).

MIXING
Before using RUMO, make sure that the spraying equipment is clean. RUMO mixes easily with water, but the following mixing procedure should be followed: Quarter fill the spray tank with clean water, start the agitation and add the required quantity of RUMO directly to the tank without prior creaming. Continue agitation while topping up the tank and while spraying.

COMPATIBILITY
Do not use any product in a tank-mix if the mixture cannot be applied within the recommendations for all the separate ingredients. When using in a tank-mix, always add RUMO to the spray tank first. Consult your supplier before applying in tank-mix with any other product.
