For ULTRA LOW VOLUME use, see ULV 14 days application section in this label. Check emerging and (stubble establishing crops in the late afternoon and evening for grazing) caterpillars crawling on the soil surface and feeding on the seedlings. Spray in the late afternoon or evening. In NSW do not apply before May or after August. Qld, NSW, 75 or Use the higher rate when the infestation is severe, or when ACT only 150 mL/ha there are larvae longer than 10 mm, or when longer residual activity is required. Pasture Webworm NSW, ACT, 75 mL/ha DO NOT apply as a ULV application. (Hednota spp.) Vic, SA, WA Pre-planting: F.S.A. AlphaCy 100 Insecticide may be applied only with knockdown herbicides prior to planting. Apply from the last week in May when the larvae have emerged. Pasture should be closely grazed to ensure good spray penetration. Use high water volumes eg. 100 L/ha. DO NOT apply on dense pasture. Post crop emergence: Inspect crop regularly from emergence and spray at first sign of pest activity. Repeat as required. Common Armyworm All States 240 mL/ha Apply before “head lopping” occurs when larval numbers (Mythimna convecta), exceed two or more per square metre. Spray in the cool of Southern Armyworm the day (late afternoon) when larvae are most active. Spray to (Persectania ewingii) achieve good crop penetration. This rate is effective against small (6 mm) and large (20 mm) grubs. Monitor crop closely and retreat if necessary. Poor control may occur in crops that have lodged. See application section for correct water rates. Redlegged Earth Mite NSW, ACT, 100 mL/ha Pre-emergence: Apply by ground rig only. Treat infested (Halotydeus destructor) Vic, Tas, paddocks after sowing but prior to crop emergence when soil SA, WA is moist. Monitor Redlegged Ear th Mite numbers and re-treat only if necessary. DO NOT apply as a ULV application. Redlegged Earth Mite 50 mL/ha Apply when mite numbers reach damaging levels. Spray (Halotydeus destructor), seedling crops if silvering or whitening (bleaching) of leaves Blue Oat Mite is causing a reduction in crop growth. If possible, spray on a (Penthaleus major) mild morning when mites are actively feeding on crop leaves. DO NOT use as a ULV application. Aphid Control to 125 mL/ha Apply at 5 to 6 weeks after sowing. Repeat the application prevent Barley 4 to 5 weeks later to maintain protection against aphid Yellow Dwarf Virus transmission to BYDV until after stem elongation. transmission F.S.A.

Apply at early silking. Use the higher rate if large WA, NT larvae are present. To help contain pyrethroid resistance in only Helicoverpa armigera in summer crops, do not apply to larvae > 5mm in Nor thern Qld and NSW. Native Budworm All States Thoroughly and regularly check the crop. Apply when (Helicoverpa infestation reaches an economically damaging level and punctigera) repeat if necessary. Best results will be obtained by applying at egg hatch. Use the higher rate if larvae longer than 10 mm are present. Rice Common Armyworm NSW, WA 200 mL/ha 7 days DO NOT use more than 400 mL/ha per season. Apply to (both (Mythimna convecta) only drained fields only. aerial Inspect crop regularly for grubs. Apply by aircraft in 20 - 30 and drill litres of water/ha. sown rice) Spray in the cool of the day (early morning or late afternoon) when larvae are active. Monitor crop closely and re-treat if necessary. Poor control may occur in crops that have lodged. See application section for correct water rates. Bloodworm 100 mL/ha Apply to water immediately after sowing using helicopter or fixed-wing aircraft. A second treatment may be required approximately 10 to 14 days later. Plants are not vulnerable to Bloodworm damage after secondary roots have developed. DO NOT release water from treated areas off-farm until the retention period specified by local irrigation authorities have been met. Sorghum * Corn Earworm Qld, NSW, 300 or 7 days For ULTRA LOW VOLUME use, see ULV application section in (Helicoverpa ACT, WA, 400 mL/ha (harvest) this label. DO NOT apply to tight headed varieties. Apply when armigera), NT only there are 2 or more actively feeding larvae per head, or when Native Budworm numbers are sufficient to cause economic damage. Use the (Helicoverpa higher rate if longer residual control is required. Repeat as punctigera) required. To help contain pyrethroid resistance in Helicoverpa armigera in summer crops, do not apply to larvae > 5mm in Nor thern Qld and NSW. Sorghum Midge 100 or Apply when midge numbers reach 1 - 2 per head, from (Contarinia sorghicola) 200 mL/ha emergence to completion of flowering. Use the higher rate for increased residual protection.

Application punctigera) only should be timed to coincide with egg hatching, before larvae are in protected feeding sites. Apply when egg laying is light i.e., 5 - 20 brown eggs/m or 2 - 5 newly hatched larvae per 100 terminals. 400 mL/ha Apply when egg laying is heavy and/or larvae are up to 5 mm in length. 500 mL/ha Apply when egg laying is continuous, larvae are up to 5 mm in length and longer residual protection is required.
