Directions For Use

Use only as directed.

Mixing Instructions

Fill spray tank half full with water, start agitator and slowly sprinkle the correct amount ofDiPel®DF into the vortex of swirl; run agitator for some minutes. Add wetter/sticker while mixing and bring up to required volume with water.

If equipment has no or poor agitation (such as knapsack sprayers and tank sprayers with no agitators, etc.) filltank half full with water, slowly sprinkleDiPel®DFto hydrate and disperse by itself; only then add wetter/sticker. Bring to required volume and mix well.

A suitable wetter/sticker is recommended for hard to wet crops i.e. cole crops or to improve weather fastness of the spray deposit. Add according to the dosage instructions on the label of the wetter/sticker.

Do not allow spray mix to stand in the tank for more than 12 hours.

NOTE

Repeat application at an interval sufficient to maintain control, usually 3 to 14 days depending on plant growth rate, moth activity and rainfall after treatment.

Apply to obtain full cover spray when pest is first noticed. Treat when larvae are young (early instars). Larvae must be actively feeding. After ingestion, larvae stops feeding immediately, but death may not follow till some time later.

Do not apply DiPel®DFthrough any type of irrigation system.

Do not use water that is alkaline. Use a buffer to lower the pH of the water to 7.

DiPel®DFdoes not harm bees, fish, birds, beneficial insects or wild life. DiPel®DFdoes not interrupt the activities of beneficial and predacious anthropoids in integrated pest management programs. Treated crops may be harvested shortly after application. There are no restrictions on applyingDiPel®DFup to the time of harvest.

		leafroller to be effective.  Good coverage of
		all parts of the foliage is therefore of primary
		importance.
