General Directions For Use (summary only)

Field Crops:

• Crop: Sugarcane (plant cane, ratoon cane), Peanuts 
• Pest: Greyback canegrub, Childers canegrub, Negatoria canegrub, Plectris canegrub, Rhopaea canegrub, Southern one-year canegrub, French’s canegrub, Peanut white grub (Heteronyx piceus) 
• Rate: The general application rates for field crops are specified as follows:
  • For Sugarcane (plant and ratoon cane), per 100 metres of cane row: Rates range from 11 mL per 100 metres of cane row to 22 mL per 100 metres of cane row. This is equivalent to rates ranging from 720 mL/ha to 1.44 L/ha for single row cane with 1.52 m spacing between rows.
  • For Peanuts, per 100 metres of peanut row: Rates range from 6.5 mL per 100 metres of peanut row to 13 mL per 100 metres of peanut row. This is equivalent to rates ranging from 0.71L/ha to 1.43L/ha for a single peanut row with 0.91 m spacing between rows.

Fruit Crops:

• Crop: Apples, Bananas – Cavendish, Bananas – Lady Finger, Citrus, Citrus (non-bearing only), Stone fruit 
• Pest: Woolly aphid, Banana rust thrips (Chaetanaphothrips signipennis), Banana weevil borer (Cosmopolites sordidus), Black citrus aphid, Citrus leafminer, Pink wax scale, Red scale, Green peach aphid, Black peach aphid 
• Rate: The general application rates for fruit crops vary depending on the specific crop, target pest, and application method:
  • Per tree application (soil drench, water mix, or via irrigation): Rates range from 3.5mL per 1L of water per tree (e.g., for Apples) to 9mL per tree (e.g., for Citrus). 
  • Per stool application (injection for Bananas): Rates range from 2.5mL to 3.5mL per stool; this can be injected undiluted or diluted 50:50 with water. 
  • Dilute Spraying application (e.g., for Stone fruit): The specified rate is 15 mL per 100 L of water. 
  • Concentrate Spraying application (e.g., for Stone fruit): The rate is calculated based on the chosen concentrate spray volume relative to the dilute spray volume. For example, a 3x concentration of a 15mL/100L dilute rate results in 45mL per 100L of concentrate. The concentration factor should not exceed 5x, meaning a rate up to 75mL per 100L of water if the dilute rate is 15mL/100L.

Vegetables:

• Crop: Brassicas (including broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kohlrabi), Capsicum, Cucurbits, Eggplant, Sweet Potato, Tomatoes, Cucumber, Dubosia, Potatoes
• Pest: Grey Cabbage Aphid, Turnip Aphid, Silverleaf whitefly (including type B), Green peach aphid, onion thrips, Melon thrips
• Rate: The general application rates for vegetables vary by crop, pest, and application method:
  • As a foliar or dilute spray (mL per 100L of water): The rate is 15mL per 100L of water.
  • As a foliar or dilute spray (mL per hectare): Rates range from 145mL per hectare  to 170mL per hectare.
  • For plant hole drench or furrow spray in Brassicas (mL per 1000 seedlings): The rate is 35 mL per 1000 seedlings.
  • For soil applications such as sub-surface trickle irrigation, furrow spray, or plant hole drench (mL per 100 metres of row): Rates range from 9 mL per 100 metres of row  to 14 mL per 100 metres of row

• Rate: The general application rates for ornamentals vary significantly based on the plant, pest, and application method:
  • Soil Drench/Application per Plant or Pot:
    • For Azaleas in pots (Azalea lace bug): 2mL of product in 250mL of water per pot.
    • For Scarab beetle larvae in Ornamentals in pots: A mixture of 2mL of product in 5L of water is used to treat twenty 6L pots (this is equivalent to 0.1mL of product per pot).
  • For Roses (Aphids, soil drench):
    • 2mL of product in 2L of water per plant (for plants up to 1m high), with an additional 1.2mL of product in 2L of water for each additional metre of plant height.
    • For Seedling eucalypts (to 1m high) in pots (Chrysomelid beetle larvae, Psyllids): 1.5mL of product per plant, mixed in water up to 0.5L per 3L pot.
  • Tree Trunk/Stem Application:
    • For Elm (Elm leaf beetle, soil injection): 4mL of product per 25mm of tree diameter at breast height, mixed in sufficient water (e.g., at least 50L per tree up to 400-500mm diameter).
    • For Pandanus trees (Flatid, stem injection): A mixture is made using 1 L of product per 1 L of water. Then, 5 mL of this mixture is applied per drilled hole.
    • Foliar Spray or Spot Spray Application (Rates of product per 100L of water): Rates range from 15mL to 500mL per 100L of water, depending on the pest and plant.
  • Specific rates include:
    • 15mL per 100L of water for pests such as Aphids, Azalea lace bugs, Psyllids, and Soft scales on Ornamental Plants, and for Aphids on Roses (foliar application).
    • 30mL per 100L of water for Hibiscus flower beetle or Longtailed mealy bug (plus surfactant for mealybug) on Ornamental Plants.
