Unless otherwise stated, the use of the product must be in accordance with the product label. To Avoid Crop Damage Nursery stock is not known to be sensitive to the chemical insecticide products listed in this permit when used in strict accordance with the rate, conditions of use and other warnings. However, the large number of disparate crop lines produced in commercial production nurseries means that not all these products have been fully evaluated for crop safety on all species, or in all situations where treatment may be undertaken. Some of these insecticide may demonstrate toxicity under certain situations, application methods, application rates and weather conditions to susceptible nursery stock. Some insecticides may also leave undesirable spray residue on foliage and flowers. *** PER91804 Version 1 Page 4 of 5 If unsure of crop tolerance, users must treat a sample number of plants or a small area prior to whole crop treatment and monitor any phytotoxic effects that will compromise production goals. This action cannot guarantee crop safety as application, environmental and crop conditions may vary from test treatment to whole of crop treatment. Discontinue applications when any adverse symptoms post-treatment are observed. Any instances of phytotoxic damage should be reported immediately to the permit holder. Resistance Management Use insecticide products in accordance with existing Insecticide Resistance Management Strategies and in accordance with best practice. Insecticide products should be used as part of an integrated insect pests management program, which incorporates as many control options as possible to minimise insect pests pressure. It is important that approved insecticide products are rotated between different chemical mode of action (MoA) groups at regular intervals within a structured insect pests management plan. Insecticide Resistance Management Strategies have been developed by CropLife Australia. An updated version of these strategies is available from CropLife Australia’s website at: or search on-line for Resistance Management CropLife Australia. Other Matters Continued issuance of this permit is subject to the outcomes of the current APVMA review of fipronil. This permit may be impacted by the outcomes of this review.
