Do not exceed the specified rates or application frequencies.
- Application Methods
GESAPON 20G may be mixed and spread with superphosphate or lime but a more even spread is likely to be achieved by the use of granular spreading equipment with a fine application kit accessory for lower application rates. Spinner type fertilizer spreaders are not recommended. For aircraft application accurately calibrated attachments should be used to give a wider and more even swath.
- Withholding Periods
It is an offense for users of this product to cause residues exceeding the relevant MRL in the New Zealand (Maximum Residues Limits of Agricultural Compounds) Food Standards. Pasture Nil Note: Keep ducks, geese and hens off treated area for 7 days after application. Carrots 21 days

- Rates And Timing of Application
Crop Pest Rate Critical Comments Carrots, Parsnips Carrot rust fly 11 Kg/ha Apply beneath the seed at sowing. Surface band application along the row may also be needed in the late spring after 10 weeks growth, to protect until harvest. For Parsnips, application must only be prior to or at sowing. Cereals Grass grub 5.5 Kg/ha Apply drilled with the seed at the time of sowing. 11 Kg/ha Broadcast evenly over cultivated ground. Work it into the soil to about 5cm depth during the final cultivation before sowing. Pasture (At sowing time) Grass grub 5.5 Kg/ha Apply drilled with the seed at the time of sowing. 11 Kg/ha Broadcast evenly over cultivated ground. Work it into the soil to about 5cm depth during the final cultivation before sowing Pasture (Established) Grass grub 11 Kg/ha Apply as a broadcast application. For best results: • Apply evenly to short pasture when grass grubs are feeding close to the surface • It is most important that at least 13mm of rain should fall within one week after application • Soil already moist at application may help control by encouraging shallower feeding of grubs and easier penetration of rain. Note: Penetration and activity of diazinon is reduced in heavy clay soils and in soils of high organic matter content. Control of grass grub may be less effective under these circumstances Pasture Porina caterpillar 5.5 Kg/ha Apply as a broadcast application. For best results apply as evenly as possible and early in the autumn before excessive pasture damage has occurred. Note: In any weather GESAPON 20G will persist long enough to contact caterpillars which have stayed underground for several nights. Control of porina is not impaired by long grass or rain falling shortly after application Seed Crops (Clover, Grass, Vegetables) Grass grub 5.5 Kg/ha Apply drilled with the seed at the time of sowing. Do NOT apply more than once per season. 11 Kg/ha Broadcast evenly over cultivated ground. Work it into the soil to about 5cm depth during the final cultivation before sowing. Do NOT apply more than once per season. Vegetables (Beans, Peas, Leafy Vegetables*); *Except Lettuce Grass grub 5.5 Kg/ha Apply drilled with the seed at the time of sowing. Do NOT apply more than once per season. 11 Kg/ha Broadcast evenly over cultivated ground. Work it into the soil to about 5cm depth during the final cultivation before sowing. Do NOT apply more than once per season Note: Unless otherwise specified, do NOT apply more than 2 applications per season
