INSTRUCTIONS
Apply DiTera ES to the soil as a pre-plant, at planting or post-plant treatment on annual and perennial crops (refer to commodities listed in Table 1) mixed with water and the mixed suspension applied as a soil applied spray or through drip irrigation systems. Best results will be obtained from Pre-plant applications close to the actual planting times. Unless otherwise specified, DiTera ES must be incorporated into the soil for optimum results. Incorporation may be accomplished by irrigation or mechanical equipment

The optimal application time must be determined based on the cultural practices and the nematode population dynamics. For perennial crops, apply DiTera ES just prior to a root flush to protect young roots. Multiple applications may be required for crops with multiple root flushes (for example, grapes, bananas, etc.).
DiTera ES must be applied using ground sprays and incorporated into the soil, or using approved irrigation systems (Refer to Chemigation Use Directions), with quantities of water sufficient to provide incorporation into the root area of the plants. The amount of water needed per acre will depend on the plant species, biology of the nematode species to be controlled, stage of crop, weather, soil moisture conditions, level of nematode infestation, etc. Use a minimum dilution of
1 part DiTera ES and 2 parts water.
Do not apply directly to foliage.
Do not apply by mist sprayer or aerial spray equipment.
Due to the nature of the active ingredient and the distribution of nematodes in agricultural soils, in-row or band application is generally suitable for adequate nematode control. The rates provided, are for broadcast applications. If banding or side-dressing, corresponding .rates need .to _ be calculated based on the actual area of soil to be treated. (See Table 2 for rate conversions). Higher rates and/or multiple applications may be required in coarse (light) soils with less than 1 % organic matter. Maximum benefits may not be realized in agricultural fields containing nondecomposed plant materials including infected roots from a previous crop or in fields with very high nematode infestations.
