SPRAY DRIFT RESTRAINTS: Please note SPRAY DRIFT RESTRAINTS apply to all uses. Specific definitions for terms used in this section of the label can be found at
DO NOT allow bystanders to come into contact with the spray cloud. DO NOT apply in a manner that may cause an unacceptable impact to native vegetation, agricultural crops, landscaped gardens and aquaculture production, or cause contamination of plant or livestock commodities, outside the application site from spray drift. The buffer zones in the relevant buffer zone table/s below provide guidance but may not be sufficient in all situations. Wherever possible, correctly use application equipment designed to reduce spray drift and apply when the wind direction is away from these sensitive areas. DO NOT apply unless the wind speed is between three and 20 kilometres per hour at the application site during the time of application. DO NOT apply if there are hazardous surface temperature inversion conditions present at the application site during the time of application. Surface temperature inversion conditions exist most evenings one to two hours before sunset and persist until one to two hours after sunrise. DO NOT apply by a boom sprayer unless the following requirements are met: • spray droplets not smaller than a MEDIUM spray droplet size category • minimum distances between the application site and downwind sensitive aquatic and wetland areas including aquacultural ponds, surface streams and rivers (see ‘Mandatory No-Spray Zones’ below) are observed.

Page 26 of 29 Transform Isoclast active Insecticide label 5th September 2023
EXPORT SLAUGHTER INTERVAL (ESI) – 14 days: After observing the grazing withholding period, livestock that has been grazed on or fed treated crops should be placed on clean feed for 14 days prior to slaughter.
CROPS FOR EXPORT - Before using Transform® on crops destined for export it is essential to consult your exporter or Corteva Agriscience to ensure that an appropriate MRL is in place in the importing country.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Transform® is a sulfoximine insecticide, in the form of a suspension concentrate.
INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING GROUP 4C INSECTICIDE For insecticide resistance management, Transform® Isoclast® active Insecticide is a Group 4C insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to Transform® and other Group 4C insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if Transform® and other Group 4C insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of Transform® on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, Corteva Agriscience Australia Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Transform® to control resistant insects. Transform® may be subject to specific resistance management strategies. For further information contact your local supplier, Corteva Agriscience representative or local agricultural department agronomist.
MIXING • Agitate or shake the container immediately prior to use. • Half fill the spray tank with water, add the appropriate amount of accurately measured Transform®, then complete filling the tank. • Ensure thorough agitation by mechanical or hydraulic action at all times during mixing and application. • Use only clean water within the range pH 5-9 to dilute Transform®.
COMPATIBILITY If intending to tank mix Transform® with other agricultural chemicals or plant nutrients consult Corteva Agriscience.
WETTING AGENTS Not all surfactants or crop oils are of equal quality. Corteva Agriscience Australia Pty Ltd does not support the use of alternative products other than those listed below. Agral® Spray Adjuvant, Nufarm Chemwet 1000 and Spreadwet 1000 Wetting Agent. If intending to use other wetting agents consult Corteva Agriscience. Agral® Trademark of a Syngenta Group Company
STORAGE OF DILUTED SPRAY MIX Whenever possible the spray mix should be used immediately after it is prepared. However, if weather conditions or mechanical breakdown prevent immediate use, the spray mix may be stored for up to 72 hours without loss of activity. The spray mix should be agitated thoroughly by mechanical or hydraulic action at regular intervals during storage to prevent sedimentation. Ensure that the stored spray mix is thoroughly agitated at least once every 8 hours. The spray mix must be stored out of direct sunlight.
Page 27 of 29 Transform Isoclast active Insecticide label 5th September 2023
APPLICATION Thorough coverage of the crop is essential. Ensure this by increasing water volume with plant growth stage. Do not apply when conditions are unsuitable for water-based spray applications. Avoid high temperature, strong winds, inversion conditions, imminent rain or any conditions that may reduce the quality of spray coverage or result in drift from the target area. Techniques to minimise drift should be employed at all times when aerially applying sprays to, or near, sensitive areas (see RESTRAINTS).
For optimum results follow the application specifications listed below: Ground Spraying (Broadacre crops): Apply in a minimum of 50 L/ha of water with spray droplets no smaller than medium category according to nozzle manufacturer specifications that refer to the ASAE S-572 Standard. Increase spray volumes as the crop grows.
Ground Spraying (Vegetable crops): Apply in a minimum of 250 L/ha of water with spray droplets no smaller than medium category according to nozzle manufacturer specifications that refer to the ASAE S-572 Standard. Increase spray volumes as the crop grows.
Aerial Spraying (Broadacre arable and vegetable crops only): Apply in a minimum of 30 L/ha of water with spray droplets no smaller than a medium category according to nozzle manufacturer specifications that refer to the ASAE S-572 Standard.
PRECAUTIONS: RE-ENTRY DO NOT allow entry into treated areas until the product has dried
(Aerial Application): DO NOT use human flaggers/markers unless they are protected by engineering controls such as enclosed cabs.
DILUTE SPRAYING • Use a sprayer designed to apply high volumes of water up to the point of run-off and matched to the crop being sprayed. • Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy. Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of first run-off. Avoid excessive run-off. • The required water volume may be determined by applying different test volumes, using different settings on the sprayer, from industry guidelines or expert advice. • Add the amount of product specified in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE table for each 100 L of water. Spray to the point of runoff. If volume to be applied is <1000L/ha then use the low volume (concentrate) application method for calculation of chemical rate. For volumes > 1000 L/ha use dilute spray rate.
CONCENTRATE SPRAYING Use a sprayer designed and set up for concentrate spraying (that is a sprayer which applies water volumes less than those required to reach the point of run-off) and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy using your chosen water volume. Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume (see DILUTE SPRAYING above) for the crop canopy. Consult your local advisor, agronomist or Department of Primary Industries to determine this volume. This is needed to calculate the concentrate mixing rate. The mixing rate for concentrate spraying can then be calculated in the following way:
Concentrate Spraying Example
- Dilute spray volume as determined above: e.g. 1000 L/ha
- Your chosen concentrate spray volume: e.g. 500 L/ha
- The concentration factor is 2X (1000 / 500)
Page 28 of 29 Transform Isoclast active Insecticide label 5th September 2023
- If the dilute label rate is 40 mL/100 L, then the concentrate rate becomes 2 X 40, i.e. 80 mL/100 L of concentrate spray The chosen spray volume, amount of product per 100 L of water and the sprayer set up and operation may need to be changed as the crop grows. For further information on concentrate spraying, users are advised to consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training. Always follow Industry Best Practices.
RAINFASTNESS Rain can wash Transform® from treated plant surfaces and result in reduced insect control. Avoid making spray applications if rain is expected before the spray can dry completely.
CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT After using Transform® empty the tank and completely drain the system. Rinse the tank, pumps, lines, hoses, filters and nozzles by circulating clean water through the system. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice.
PROTECTION OF HONEYBEES AND OTHER INSECT POLLINATORS Hazard: Highly toxic to bees. Harmful to bee brood. Sulfoxaflor has systemic action. Will kill foraging bees directly exposed through contact during spraying and while spray droplets are still wet. May harm bees in hives which are over-sprayed or reached by spray drift. DO NOT apply this product while bees are foraging in the crop to be treated.
Risk Management: Treatments made to crops in flower or upwind of adjacent plants in flower that are likely to be visited by bees at the time of application, should not occur during the daytime if temperatures within an hour after the completion of spraying are expected to exceed 12 °C. It is recommended that orchard floors containing flowering plants be mown just prior to spraying. Beekeepers who are known to have hives in, or nearby, the area to be sprayed should be notified no less than 48 hours prior to the time of the planned application so that bees can be removed or otherwise protected prior to spraying.
PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT Very toxic to aquatic life. DO NOT contaminate wetlands or water courses with this product or used containers.
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT This product may have adverse effects on parasitic wasps particularly where IPM is practiced.
