Mandatory No-Spray Zones DO NOT apply if there are aquatic or wetland areas including aquacultural ponds, surface streams and rivers within 15 m downwind from the application area
| Situation | Pest | Rate | Critical Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Established Turf | African Black Beetle larvae (Heteronychus arator), Argentinian Scarab larvae (Cyclocephala signaticollis), June Beetle larvae (Phyllophaga sp) | 1 kg/ha | Apply prior to or at peak egg hatch, (African Black Beetle - late September through to mid October or Argentinian Scarab - early December), or when small larvae are present. Ensure product placement as close to soil surface as possible. Preferably spray onto wet or dewy turf. Irrigate with at least 3 mm water commencing within 1 hour of application. DO NOT irrigate to the point of runoff. Refer to the Application sections for detailed information. |
| Argentine Stem Weevil larvae (Listronotus bonariensis) | 1 kg/ha | Monitor adult activity through spring and early summer. Spray when peak numbers (preventatively) or when first visual symptoms are observed (curatively) typically around late September to December. Early application is essential to minimise damage to turf due to feeding. Refer to the Application sections for detailed information. | |
| Billbug larvae (Sphenophorus brunnipennis) | 1 kg/ha | Monitor adult activity through late spring and early summer. Spray when numbers peak or when small larvae (4 mm) are found in the thatch or surface soil typically around late November to early December. Early application is essential to minimise damage to turf due to feeding. Ensure product placement as close to soil surface as possible. Preferably spray onto wet or dewy turf. Irrigate with at least 3 mm of water commencing within 1 hour of application. DO NOT irrigate to the point of runoff. Refer to the Application sections for detailed information. | |
| Caterpillars including Black Cutworm (Agrotis ipsilon), Lawn Armyworm, (Spodoptera mauritia) | 500 g/ha | Monitor adult activity through spring and summer. Spray when pest is evident. Early application is essential to minimise damage to turf due to feeding. Apply as a foliar spray during spring and summer when pests are present. Refer to the Application sections for detailed information. |
NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION
WITHHOLDING PERIOD: DO NOT GRAZE TREATED TURF/LAWN OR FEED TURF/LAWN CLIPPINGS FROM ANY TREATED AREA TO POULTRY OR LIVESTOCK
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Mixing Add the required amount of SPINNER to clean water in half-filled spray tank with the agitator or by-pass in operation. Maintain agitation while filling tank with remainder of water. Agitate whilst spraying.
Compatibility As formulations of other manufacturer’s products are beyond the control of Syngenta, and water quality varies with location, all mixtures should be tested prior to mixing commercial quantities.
Application DO NOT apply with aircraft or through any type of irrigation equipment. Ensure even application in order to achieve even disease control. Avoid overlapping sprays. Ensure that boom height for broadcast application does not exceed 50 cm above the leaf blades of the turf. Avoid application under conditions when uniform coverage cannot be obtained or when spray drift may occur. Soil Insects: Application volumes for soil insects (African Black Beetle, Argentinian Scarab, June Beetle, Argentine Stem Weevil and Billbug) should be as high as possible (700 to 1000 L/ha) to ensure placement close to the soils surface. Use nozzles that produce very coarse to extremely coarse droplets (eg Air Induction 08 nozzles). Preferably spray onto wet or dewy turf. Irrigate with at least 3 mm of water commencing within 1 hour of application. Surface Insects: Application volume for leaf and crown feeding insects (Argentine Stem Weevil, Cutworm and Armyworm) should be adequate to ensure thorough and even coverage of the turf leaves and penetration to the crowns. Total application volume should be 300 to 500 L/ha. Use coarse droplets (eg Air Induction flat fan 025 to 04 nozzles). In higher cut turf (≥15 mm) a significant spray shielding effect can occur, impacting negatively on spray penetration and even coverage at low application volumes.
APVMA Compliance Instructions for Mandatory COARSE or Larger Droplet Size Categories These instructions inform users of this chemical product how to lawfully comply with the requirement of a COARSE or larger spray droplet size category for spray application. Spray droplet size categories are defined in the ASAE S572 Standard (newer name may also be shown as ASABE) or the BCPC guideline. Nozzle manufacturers may refer to one or both to identify droplet size categories, but for a nozzle to comply with this requirement, the manufacturer must refer to at least one. Complying with the label requirement to use a specific droplet size category means using the correct nozzle that will deliver that droplet size category under the spray operation conditions being used. The APVMA has approved only the following specific methods for choosing the correct nozzle. Use one of the methods specified in these instructions to select a correct nozzle to deliver a COARSE or larger droplet size category. Mandatory instructions for ground applications for COARSE droplet size or larger categories USE ONLY nozzles that the nozzles’ manufacturer has rated to deliver a COARSE, a VERY COARSE or an EXTREMELY COARSE droplet size category as referenced to ASAE S572 or BCPC. Choose a nozzle specified to provide the droplet size required in the label Spray Drift Restraints. DO NOT use a higher spray system pressure than the maximum the manufacturer specifies for the selected nozzle to deliver the droplet size category required in the label Spray Drift Restraint.
Insecticide Resistance Warning GROUP 4A 28 INSECTICIDE For insecticide resistance management SPINNER Turf Insecticide is a Group 4A and Group 28 insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to SPINNER and other Group 4A and/or Group 28 insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if SPINNER or other Group 4 and/or Group 28 insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of SPINNER on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, Syngenta Australia Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from failure of SPINNER to control resistant insects. SPINNER may be subject to specific resistance management strategies. For further information contact your supplier, Syngenta representative or local agricultural department agronomist.
