GENERAL INFORMATION
TALISMA EC is a liquid grain protectant with broad-spectrum insecticidal activity for the control of INSECTS infesting STORED CEREAL GRAINS and GRAIN STORES.

QUALIFIED RECOMMENDATION FOR USE IN GRAIN STORES AND STORAGE STRUCTURE
This recommendation is based on limited effectiveness data. When the grain store is empty before harvest, clean out old grain, dust and other debris and thoroughly clean the grain handling equipment. Spray all structural surfaces of empty grain store and grain handling machinery taking care to treat all crevices. Where possible this should be done up to 3 to 4 weeks before filling the store.

Apply by either:
pneumatic or hydraulic knapsack sprayer with fan spray nozzle motorised knapsack sprayer tractor operated spray lance (or contractor’s equivalent equipment)

RESISTANCE
To minimize the risk of resistance the following precautions should be taken:
Use TALISMA EC at label recommended rates. Do not reduce or increase rates from manufacturer recommendations as this can hasten resistance development. Monitor subsequent pest levels to gauge control. Use insecticides from different chemical classes and different modes of action (not just different brands or other pyrethroids from IRAC group 3A) during the season. Calibrate equipment for accurate application. Use recommended spray volumes and pressures. Where strains resistant to products containing pyrethroids compounds are present TALISMA EC is unlikely to give satisfactory control.
