GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Larvicidal activity, due to destruction of the midgut
epithelium, occurs within 12 to 48 hours of ingestion.
Applications shall be made during the active larval
st
th
th
feeding stages (1 to early 4 instar) because late 4
instar larvae do not feed immediately prior to
pupation, application has to be made in the early
stages of the life cycle. When more than 50% of the
th
larval population is in the late 4 instar stage, the use
of this product is not recommended.
INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING
For insecticide resistance management, VectoLex
WG is a Group 11 insecticide.
Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to
VectoLex WG and other Group 11 insecticides may
exist through normal genetic variability in any insect
population. The resistant individuals can eventually
dominate the insect population if VectoLex WG or
other Group 11 insecticides are used repeatedly. The
effectiveness of VectoLex WG on resistant individuals
could be significantly reduced. Since occurrence of
resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use,
Valent BioSciences accepts no liability for any losses
that may result from the failure of VectoLex WG to
control resistant insects.
VectoLex WG may be subject to specific resistant
management strategies. For further information
contact your local supplier, Sumitomo Chemical
Australia Pty Ltd representative or local agricultural
department agronomist.
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
Repeated use of VectoLex WG (applications to
20 successive generations) may lead to a level of
resistance in some mosquito populations reducing
the effectiveness of products containing Bacillus
sphaericus. We recommend the use of an
appropriate resistance management strategy which
incorporates VectoBac (Bacillus thuringiensis var.
israelensis) or other larv
