DIRECTIONS FOR USE
IMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the Product Label. All instructions within this section must be carefully read in order to obtain safe and successful use of this product. To reduce effects on non-target insects or other arthropods:For application to cereals: DO NOT SPRAY WITHIN 5 m OF THE FIELD BOUNDARY1. For application to other arable and vegetable crops using tractor-mounted boom sprayers: Avoid spraying within 5 m of the field boundary1. For application to pears using broadcast air-assisted sprayers: The best available application technique, which minimises off-target drift, should be used. 1 These buffer distances should be measured from the field boundary, which for the purposes of this labelling, is defined as from the edge of non-cropped land (i.e. land taken permanently out of agricultural production, including the 1-2 m strips adjacent to hedgerows and watercourses established under the Single Payment Scheme). Cropped land includes managed buffer strips (e.g. grass strips, wild flower margins and conservation headlands), but since these are usually set up as havens for wildlife it is best practice to minimise spray drift onto them.
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
Strains of some aphid species are resistant to many aphicides. Where aphids resistant to products containing lambda-cyhalothrin occur, STEALTH is unlikely to give satisfactory control. Repeat treatments are likely to result in lower levels of control.
GENERAL INFORMATION
STEALTH acts by contact, therefore ensure thorough spray cover for good control.
Processed Crops: Taint tests have shown that STEALTH does not taint crops, but growers should consult processors before use.
MIXING AND SPRAYING
Preparation of sprayer: Part fill the spray tank with clean water and start agitation. Shake the container and add the correct amount of STEALTH to the sprayer using a filling device (e.g. induction bowl, probe etc.) or by direct addition to the spray tank. Wash out container thoroughly. Preferably use an integrated pressure rinsing device or manually rinse three times. Add washings to the sprayer at the time of filling. Dispose of rinsed container safely according to DEFRA Code of Practice. Spraying: Ensure adequate volume and pressure is used and that the sprayer is correctly calibrated before use. Do not leave the spray liquid in the sprayer for long periods (i.e. during meals or overnight).
