- Mixing Instructions
Half fill the spray tank with clean water. Add the required quantity of SAMURAI 20SC. Fill the spray tank with water as well as the amount of oil needed to the required level while maintaining agitation to ensure thorough mixing of the spray mixture before spraying commences. Maintain agitation while spraying. Prepared spray mixture must not be left overnight in the spray tank. Ensure that agitation takes place for a few minutes prior to commencement of spraying after normal operational stops e.g. lunch break.
- Application Instructions
- To control citrus thrips the product should be applied as a light cover spray.
- For the control of mealybug, a full cover application is required, ensuring that all aboveground parts of the tree are thoroughly wetted with spray mixture. N.B. Please note that when applications aimed at the control of citrus black spot are made, the application volumes are not sufficient (high enough) to control mealybug with SAMURAI 20 SC.
- In order to accurately determine the application volume that should be used, please use the following calculation method:
Calculating the application volume:
Spray factor
Light cover spray Heavy cover spray
- Dense foliage (e.g. Grape fruit) 1,3 4,0
- Medium foliage (e.g. Valencias/Navels) 1,1 3,33
- Light foliage (young trees, etc.) 0,9 2,67
Calculating the volume per 1 meter canopy height per 100m
- If the spray factor 3,33 is:
3,33ℓ x 1m x 100m = 330ℓ / meter height/ 100m
If canopy height is 2,5m and row spacing is 5m (20 rows / 100m) the application volume:
333ℓ x 2,5m x 20 = 16 500 liters water/ha

Regular orchard inpections should
be carried out post application of

Monitor the vines at regular intervals from approximately four weeks after application for first signs of crawler movement. If any crawler movement is detected, apply a foliar application of an insecticide from a different mode of action (IRAC group code) which is registered for mealy bug control in grapes adhering to the label recommendations of such an insecticide.

Although this remedy has been extensively tested under a large variety of conditions the registration holder does not warrant that it will be efficacious under all conditions because the action and effect thereof may be affected by factors such as abnormal climatic and storage conditions; compatibility with other substances not indicated on the label and the occurrence of resistance of the insect against the remedy concerned as well as by the method, time and accuracy of application. The registration holder furthermore does not accept responsibility for damage to crops, vegetation, the environment or harm to man or animal or for lack of performance of the remedy concerned due to failure of the user to follow the label instructions or to the occurrence of conditions which could not have been foreseen in terms of the registration. Consult the supplier or registration holder in the event of any uncertainty.
- Precautions
- Avoid any inhalation of spray mist and contact with concentrate.
- Wear protective clothing - overalls, rubber boots, face-shield and gloves and wash contaminated clothing daily.
- Wash with water and soap after use.
- In case of contact with eyes, wash immediately with plenty of clean water and seek medical advice.
- Do not eat, drink, or smoke during handling, application and before washing.
- Clean applicator after use. Dispose of wash water where no contamination of dams, rivers, grazing or crops can occur.
- Prevent spray from drifting to other crops, grazing and dams, and areas not under treatment.
- Rinse empty container three times with a volume of water equal to a minimum of 10 % of that of the container. Add the rinsing to the contents of the spray tank before destroying the container in the prescribed manner.
- Destroy empty container by perforation and do not use for any other purpose. Prevent contamination of food, feeds, eating utensils and drinking water.
- Resistance Warning
SAMURAI 20SC is a group code 4A insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant to SAMURAI 20SC and other group code 4A insecticides. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if these insecticides are used repeatedly. The resistant insects may not be controlled by SAMURAI 20SC or any other group code 4A insecticide.
To delay insecticide resistance:
- Avoid exclusive repeated use of insecticides from the same insecticide group code. Alternate or tank mix with products from different insecticide group codes.
- Integrate other control methods (chemical, biological, cultural) in an insecticide control program.
For specific information on resistance management contact the registration holder of this product.
