A contact and ingested insecticide and repellent. Controls flies and some aphids also.
9. APPLICATION METHODS AND TIPS:
Do not spray areas foraged by bees for 10 days before flowering to petal fall.
Thorough spray coverage is essential.
Synthetic latex surfactants such as Bond improve control slightly under normal conditions and improve rainfastness and have maintained control levels with up to 50 mm rainfall after spraying.
Not compatible with miscible sulphur.

20. MODE OF ACTION:
A contact and ingested broad spectrum insecticide. Has repellent and anti feeding action. Some insects will starve rather than eat treated plants. Non systemic. Stable in ultraviolet light which aids it persistence on foliage.
Has a very quick knockdown action (within minutes of application).
