Restraints: DO NOT apply if rain or overhead irrigation is expected within 6 hours. Retain the first flush of irrigation tailwater / storm water in the tailwater dam after application. DO NOT use more than 3 sprays per season in any single crop. DO NOT use in covered or protected situations such as glasshouses, greenhouses, shade houses or plastic tunnels. DO NOT apply by air. DO NOT apply more than once to almonds at the hull split stage. DO NOT apply using spray equipment carried on the back of the user. Spray drift restraints: DO NOT allow bystanders to come into contact with the spray cloud; DO NOT apply unless the wind speed is between 3 and 20 kilometres per hour at the application site; DO NOT apply if there are hazardous surface temperature inversion conditions present. Tree and vine crops (Table 1): all rates are for dilute spraying (per 100 L). Apply the same total amount of product to the target crop whether applying by dilute or concentrate spraying methods. For concentrate spraying, DO NOT use at rates greater than 5 times the dilute spraying rate. Almonds - carob moth: 80 mL + wetter. 1st generation: early post-flower application at the beginning of the season (Aug-Sept); carefully monitor pheromone traps for peak adult pest incidence of 1st generation; once field scouting indicates egg laying and newly hatched larvae apply a maximum of 3 sprays at a minimum of 10-day intervals. 2nd generation: hull-split application at the start of hull split (2 - 5% of the almond hull sutures open), timed to the initiation of egg hatch. Concentrate spraying is not appropriate for this pest. Do not apply less than 2,000 L/ha water. Apples and pears (and other pome fruit) - lightbrown apple moth: 25 mL. For the spring generation, commence spraying at petal fall and apply in a series of 3 applications at 14-day intervals. Where a later summer generation occurs, spray when moth activity is indicated by pheromone traps or lure pots; apply a minimum of 2 sprays with a 21-day interval. Loopers: control is best achieved using a schedule of 3 sprays in spring. Avocado and coffee - avocado leafroller: 25 mL. Apply at first sign of pest incidence, targeting eggs and newly hatched (very small) larvae. Blueberry - lightbrown apple moth: 25 mL; apply when locally determined thresholds are exceeded. Citrus - lightbrown apple moth: 25 mL + a wetting agent at 10 mL/100 L; high volume spraying equipment only; spray to runoff; a second spray may be required 2-3 weeks later. Custard apple - yellow peach moth: 25 mL. Grapevines - lightbrown apple moth: 25 mL; spring generation from pre-flowering onwards, second spray 14 - 21 days later; summer generation at first sign of activity. Kiwifruit - lightbrown apple moth: 25 mL; monitor from bud burst, target eggs and first instar larvae. Carob - suppression of carob moth (Ectomyelois ceratoniae): 80 mL + wetter. Use as part of an IPM system. Apply a maximum of 3 sprays at a minimum of 10-day intervals. Concentrate spraying is not appropriate for this pest. Do not apply less than 2,000 L/ha water. Add a non-ionic wetting agent at the recommended rate. Longan and lychee - macadamia nut borer: 40 mL. Macadamia - macadamia flower caterpillar: 25 mL, apply at a threshold of 50-80% of racemes infested; macadamia nut borer: 40 mL. Tomatoes, peppers (capsicum and chilli), eggplant and okra (Table 2) - native budworm, tomato grub, cluster caterpillar: 125 mL or 170 mL/100 L or 1.25 L or 1.7 L/ha. Use the higher rate under heavy egg pressure. Apply to brown eggs or at egg hatch when pest numbers reach treatment threshold levels. Reapply after 7 days if necessary.
