Preserve 120 SC Insecticide

Tips For Use

Restraints:

• Do not make more than 4 applications to any crop in any one season, except where otherwise indicated in the Critical Comments (also see the resistance statement).

Mixing:

• Agitate or shake the container immediately prior to use. Half fill the spray tank with water, add the appropriate amount of accurately measured Surefire Preserve 120 SC Insecticide, then complete filling the tank.
• Ensure thorough agitation by mechanical or hydraulic action at all times during mixing and application.
• Use only clean water within the range pH 5-9 to dilute Surefire Preserve 120 SC Insecticide.
• Whenever possible the spray mix should be used immediately after it is prepared. However, if weather conditions or mechanical breakdown prevent immediate use, the spray mix may be stored for up to 72 hours without loss of activity.

Application:

• Thorough coverage of the crop is essential. Ensure this by increasing water volume with plant growth stage.
• Do not apply when conditions are unsuitable for water-based spray applications.
• Avoid high temperature, strong winds, inversion conditions, imminent rain or any conditions that may reduce the quality of spray coverage or result in drift from the target area.
• Techniques to minimise drift should be employed at all times when aerially applying sprays to, or near, sensitive areas.
• For optimum results follow the application specifications listed below:
  Ground Spraying: Apply in a minimum of 250 L/ha of water. Increase spray volumes as the crop grows.
  Aerial Spraying: Apply in a minimum of 30 L/ha of water.

Rainfastness:

• Rain can wash Surefire Preserve 120 SC Insecticide from treated plant surfaces and result in reduced efficacy.
• Avoid making spray applications if rain is expected before the spray can dry completely.

Precautions:

• Re-entry Period: Do not enter treated areas until the spray is dry.

Storage:

• Store in the closed, original container in a cool well-ventilated area.
• Do not store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight.

Safety Directions:

• May irritate the eyes.
• Avoid contact with eyes.
• When opening the container, preparing spray and using the prepared spray, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and elbow-length chemical resistant gloves.
