Advanced Application Guidelines

Optimal Application Techniques

  1. Timing Considerations:

    • Apply at first sign of pest infestation

    • Early morning or late afternoon applications preferred

    • Avoid application during flowering to protect pollinators

  2. Spray Preparation:

    • Use clean water for mixing

    • Maintain proper agitation in spray tank

    • Avoid mixing with alkaline products

  3. Equipment Recommendations:

    • High-volume sprayers for thorough coverage

    • Nozzle selection based on target pest location

    • Calibrate equipment for precise application

Resistance Management Strategy

  • Rotate with insecticides from different MoA classes

  • Limit to 2-3 applications per season

  • Combine with biological controls where possible

  • Monitor pest populations for resistance development

Safety and Environmental Considerations

Handling Precautions

  • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Requirements:

    • Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene)

    • Respirator with organic vapor cartridge

    • Protective eyewear with side shields

    • Long-sleeved clothing and waterproof boots

    • Eye contact: Flush with water for 15 minutes

    • Skin contact: Wash with soap and water

    • Inhalation: Move to fresh air immediately

    • Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting; seek medical attention

Environmental Safeguards

  • Aquatic Toxicity: Highly toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates
