PROVAUNT delivers excellent curative performance, with optimal results achieved when applications are made before population numbers build to damaging levels. For Argentine Stem Weevil adults applications should be made with the appearance of over wintering adult pests. A second application should be made early summer to treat adults and stem feeding larvae. For Lepidoptera grubs an application should be made as soon as activity is detected. *** Page 3 of 4 Mixing Prior to mixing, start with clean, well maintained application equipment. Fill spray tank to ¼ to ½ full of water. Measure the amount of PROVAUNT required for the area to be sprayed. Add PROVAUNT directly to spray tank with the agitation engaged. Mix thoroughly to disperse the insecticide. Once dispersed, the material must be kept in suspension at all times by continuous agitation. Use mechanical or hydraulic means, DO NOT use air agitation, premix or slurry. If spray solution is left standing, ensure thorough re-agitation of the spray mix until fully re-suspended. DO NOT allow spray mix to sit overnight, as re-suspension maybe difficult. Compatibility As formulations of other manufacturer’s products are beyond the control of Syngenta, and the quality of water may vary with location, all mixtures should be tested prior to mixing commercial quantities. Application Apply using coarse droplets (minimum) using Air induction 04 nozzles. Spray with at least 400 L of water/ha to ensure even coverage. The required water volume may be determined by applying different test volumes, using different settings on the sprayer, from industry guidelines or expert advice. Note that the amount of product specified in the Directions for Use is per hectare of product. You will need to determine your spray rate per hectare before deciding on the amount of product to add to the tank. For optimal control, DO NOT water in when treating Argentine Stem Weevil adults or larvae, and delay irrigation and mowing for 24 hours where treating for caterpillars. Spray Timing Argentine Stem Weevil adults: PROVAUNT should be applied when over wintered adults are first observed in late winter/early spring to prevent egg laying. Argentine Stem Weevil larvae and adults: A second application should be made early summer to treat larvae and adults concurrently as part of a strong chemical rotation program. Caterpillars: PROVAUNT will provide excellent curative caterpillar control in turfgrass and should be applied when pests/damage is observed. Spray Equipment Cleanout Immediately following application, thoroughly clean all spray equipment to reduce risk of forming hardened deposits that might become difficult to remove. Drain spray equipment. Thoroughly rinse sprayer and flush hoses, boom, and nozzles with clean water. Loosen and physically remove all visible deposits. Clean all other associated application equipment. Insecticide Resistance Warning GROUP 22A INSECTICIDE For insecticide resistance management PROVAUNT Insecticide is a Group 22A insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to PROVAUNT and other Group 22A insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if PROVAUNT and other Group 22A insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of PROVAUNT 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 PROVAUNT to control resistant insects. PROVAUNT may be subject to specific resistance management strategies. For further information contact your supplier or Syngenta. PRECAUTION Re-entry Period DO NOT allow entry into treated areas until the spray has dried. PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT Very toxic to aquatic life. DO NOT contaminate wetlands or watercourses with this product or used containers. *** Page 4 of 4 PROTECTION OF HONEY BEES AND OTHER INSECT POLLINATORS Highly toxic to bees. Harmful to bee brood. DO NOT allow spray drift to flowering weeds or flowering crops in the vicinity of the treatment area. Before spraying, notify beekeepers to move hives to a safe location with an untreated source of nectar and pollen, if there is potential for managed hives to be affected by the spray or spray drift. STORAGE AND DISPOSAL Store in the closed, original container in a dry, cool, well ventilated area out of direct sunlight. Triple rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings to spray tank. DO NOT dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. If recycling, replace cap and return clean containers to recycler or designated collection point. If not recycling, break, crush, or puncture and deliver empty packaging to an approved waste management facility. If an approved waste management facility is not available, bury the empty packaging 500 mm below the surface in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose, clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots, in compliance with relevant local, state or territory government regulations. DO NOT burn empty containers or product. SAFETY DIRECTIONS Harmful if swallowed.
