Application equipment
♧ Knapsack / handheld
The dose is based on the area treated. Calibrate using clean water, then scale the product and carrier volume for that area. Use only equipment permitted by the full label; the table is not a fixed tank-mix recipe.
▦ Boom / large area
Use the target-specific hectare rate and carrier volume above. Follow all equipment, droplet, drift and irrigation directions in the full label.
Before you apply
- For armyworm and adult beetle/weevil uses, irrigate with up to 4 mm soon after application. Adult beetle control is not the same as grub-larva control.
- For funnel ants apply late afternoon and allow at least two hours before irrigation. Do not use when established predatory mites give effective mite control.
