Uses: For control of Lepidoptera on vegetables, brassicas, fruit, maize, tea, grapes and cotton, at up to 16 g/ha, and in pine trees, at 5-25 g/ha.
Target pest and rate:
Crop | Pest | Rate | Critical Comments |
Brassica Vegetables (Broccoli, Brussels Sprout, Cabbages, Cauliflower Only) | Diamondback Moth, asparagus caterpillar, Cabbage White Butterfly | 250 to 300 g/ha
| Spray at first signs of insect infestation as indicated by local spray thresholds. Use the lower rate on low to moderate infestations. |
Capsicums, Lettuce | Heliothis (Helicoverpa armigera and Helicoverpa punctigera) | 200 to 250 g/ha
| Spray at first signs of insect infestation as indicated by local spray thresholds. For best results apply soon after the Helicoverpa eggs have hatched. |
Sweet Corn | Heliothis (Helicoverpa armigera and Helicoverpa punctigera) | 200 to 250 g/ha
| Spray at first signs of insect infestation as indicated by local spray thresholds. For best results apply soon after the Helicoverpa eggs have hatched. D |
Rice | Rice leaf roller | 200 to 400 g/ha
| Spray at first signs of insect infestation as indicated by local spray thresholds. Repeat application again as necessary to maintain control. |
