CRITICAL USE COMMENTS:

Apply spray treatment when successive checks indicate population is
increasing rapidly
in size, and before dense colonies are evident. If mealybug
populations reach high
levels, or conditions favour rapid pest population build-up, then
repeat applications may
be required.

Minimum re-treatment interval of 5 – 7 days should be observed.

Thorough coverage of the foliage is essential. The use of a higher
spray volume will
enable more thorough coverage, especially under adverse conditions,
such as hot, dry
weather and/or dense canopy cover.

Apply minimum spray volume of 50 L/ha by air or 100-450 L/ha by ground
rig.

DO NOT apply more than 3 applications per crop.

Applications MUST be undertaken in accordance with the Australian
Cotton Industry’s
_Best Management Practices_ guidelines.
WITHHOLDING PERIOD:
Harvest: DO NOT apply later than 14 DAYS before harvest.
