Bugmaster Flowable Insecticide (Carbaryl)

Tips For Use

Restraints:

• Do not make more than four applications per season to avocados.
• Do not make more than three applications per season to mangoes.
• Do not apply by air unless otherwise specified.
• Do not allow spray to drift off-target onto sensitive areas, including (but not limited to) natural streams, rivers, waterways, wetlands, water bodies, watercourses or neighbouring properties.

The application of Bugmaster Flowable to flowering crops during the period 7 days prior to flowering to 30 days post-flowering may result in fruit thinning. Do not apply Bugmaster Flowable to flowering crops during this period if fruit thinning is unacceptable.

Mixing:

• Shake container before use. Fill tank half full of water, add Bugmaster Flowable and mix thoroughly, then add remainder of water and mix again.
• When using as a tank mix with spray oils, add the product after thoroughly mixing the oil with water in the spray tank.

Application:

• Good pest control and fruit thinning (pome fruit) requires even, thorough coverage of the target area.
• The application should be made using appropriate spray equipment and sufficient water to provide adequate penetration and coverage.
• Equipment settings and water volume may need to vary, depending on the growth stage of the crop.
• 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.
