Scarlet Trio Advanced Insecticide

Tips For Use

General Tips:

• Avoid spraying while bees are actively foraging. Avoid spray drift to flowering weeds or flowering crops in the vicinity of the treatment area.
• Avoid applying more than 2 sprays per season on turf.
• Spray droplets used should be no smaller than a coarse spray droplet size category.
• Mandatory downwind buffer zones – Natural Aquatic Areas:
  • 10m, Pollinator Areas: 110m.
• Foliar targeted applications (Mites, Couch Fly):
  • Apply in 400-800L of water per hectare.
  • Using an acidifying & spreader surfactant (e.g. Wilt 700 or Manta Ray) will maximise tank stability and improve coverage.
  • Soil-borne insects won’t be controlled if the product is used as a foliar application.
• Soil Targeted applications (Ground Pearl, African Black Beetle, Argentinian Scarab, Billbug, Argentinian Stem Weevil, Mole Cricket):
  • Apply in a water volume >400L per hectare and irrigate with at least 3 mm of water commencing within 1 hour of application.
  • Foliage-based insects won’t be controlled when the product is washed into the soil.
  • Using a soil surfactant will assist in maximising soil movement and coverage of the insecticide.

Restraints:

• Do not use on fine textured compacted clay soils without amelioration before treatment application.
• Do not apply if heavy rains or storms are forecast within 48 hours.
• Do not irrigate to the point of field runoff for at least 48 hours after application.
• Do not apply if rainfall is imminent. The effect of this product could be diminished if rain falls within 6 hours of application.
• Do not apply to turf under heat or moisture stress.
• Do not apply by backpack.
• Do not apply by aircraft.
• Do not apply by vertical sprayer.
• Do not apply through any type of irrigation system or ultra-low volume spray system.
• Do not apply more than 2 sprays per season on turf.
• Do not apply with a nozzle height over 50 cm above the ground.

Mixing:

• Use only clean spraying equipment in good condition.
• Half-fill the spray tank with clean water and commence agitation.
• Add the required quantity of product directly to the water, then add a mixing partner and complete the filling to the final volume.
• Spray immediately and maintain agitation throughout.
• Do not allow the spray mixture to remain in the tank overnight or for long periods without agitation.

Application:

• Apply by ground boom sprayer, low-pressure hand wand or handgun sprayer.
• To be effective, Scarlet Trio Advanced requires thorough spray coverage.
• Ensure equipment is properly calibrated to give an even distribution at the correct volume.
• Application volume should be adequate to ensure thorough and even coverage of turf leaves with penetration into the crowns.
• The total application volume should be 400 to 800 L/ha.
• Use coarse droplets (e.g. Air Induction flat fan 025 to 04 nozzles).
• In higher-cut turf (>15 mm), a significant spray shielding effect can occur, negatively impacting spray penetration and even coverage at low application volumes.

Precautions: Re-Entry Period

General Public:

• Do not allow entry into treated areas until the spray has dried.

Occupational Users:

• Do not allow entry into treated areas until the spray has dried unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical-resistant gloves.
• Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use.

Protection Of Honey Bees And Other Insect Pollinators:

• Highly toxic to bees.
• Harmful to bee brood.
• Clothianidin has systemic action.
• Do not spray while bees are actively foraging.
• Do not allow spray drift to flowering weeds or flowering crops in the vicinity of the treatment area.
• Before spraying, notify beekeepers to move hives to a safe location with an untreated source of nectar and pollen if there is potential for managed hives to be affected by the spray or spray drift.
• The risk to bees is reduced by spraying early morning and late evening while bees are not foraging.
• Residues may remain at levels toxic to bees for several days following application.

Protection Of Crops, Native And Other Non-Target Plants:

• Drift Warning – Do not apply under weather conditions or from spraying equipment, which could be expected to cause spray to drift onto adjacent crops, croplands, pastures or livestock.
