Spinner Turf Insecticide

Tips For Use

Mixing:

• Add the required amount of Spinner to clean water in a half-filled spray tank with the agitator or by-pass in operation.
• Maintain agitation while filling the tank with the remainder of the water. 
• Agitate whilst spraying.

Application:

• Do not apply with aircraft or through any type of irrigation equipment. 
• Ensure even application in order to achieve even disease control. 
• Avoid overlapping sprays. 
• Ensure that the boom height for broadcast application does not exceed 50 cm above the leaf blades of the turf. 
• Avoid application under conditions when uniform coverage cannot be obtained or when spray drift may occur.
• Soil Insects: Application volumes for soil insects (African Black Beetle, Argentinian Scarab, June Beetle, Argentine Stem Weevil and Billbug) should be as high as possible (700 to 1000 L/ha) to ensure placement close to the soil surface. 
  • Use nozzles that produce very coarse to extremely coarse droplets (e.g. Air Induction 08 nozzles). 
  • Preferably spray onto wet or dewy turf. Irrigate with at least 3 mm of water commencing within 1 hour of application.
• Surface Insects: Application volume for leaf and crown-feeding insects (Argentine Stem Weevil, Cutworm and Armyworm) should be adequate to ensure thorough and even coverage of the turf leaves and penetration to the crowns. 
  • Total application volume should be 300 to 500 L/ha. Use coarse droplets (eg Air Induction flat fan 025 to 04 nozzles). 
• In higher cut turf (≥15 mm) a significant spray shielding effect can occur, impacting negatively on spray penetration and even coverage at low application volumes.

• Do not apply with aircraft or through any type of irrigation equipment.
• Do not apply if heavy rain is forecast.
