DIRECTIONS FOR USE

RESTRAINTS DO NOT apply during or just before overhead irrigation. DO NOT apply in open field situations. Applications may only be made under covered or protected situations such as glasshouses, shade houses or plastic tunnels. This is a temperature sensitive product, please review storage conditions

NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION.

WITHHOLDING PERIODS Not required when used as directed

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Velifer Biological Insecticide is best used on low pest populations to maintain pressure below economic damage threshold. Although the efficacy of Velifer Biological Insecticide at 90 mL/100 L (0.09%) was generally not as high as that of chemical products, the efficacy is considered high enough for management of pest populations under normal conditions.

Spray sufficient Velifer/water mixture, to obtain full crop coverage, but not to the point of run off.

Velifer Biological Insecticide is a contact insecticide and it is essential that the spores make contact with all the insects, to be treated. Apply, as a full cover film spray, using conventional spray equipment. Good coverage is essential, but not to the point of run off.

Due to UV sensitivity, it is recommended that Velifer is applied during the afternoon, or evenings. Mixed volumes must be applied as soon as possible and not left overnight, or standing in the sun. Velifer does not impose any risk of residues in harvested crops. Heavy rain or overhead irrigation, within one day of treatment, could wash spores off and reduce efficacy - repeat treatment.

MIXING SHAKE WELL BEFORE USE Before use ensure that all application equipment is clean. Half fill spray tank with water and start agitation. Before opening the bottle of Velifer, agitate the bottle by repeated inversions to re-suspend fungal spores that may have settled during transport and storage. Add the required quantity of Velifer. Fill the tank to the required volume whilst maintaining agitation. Continuous agitation must be maintained until spraying is complete.

All application equipment should be cleaned thoroughly with water prior to storage.

COMPATIBILITY Contact BASF technical representative for more information on compatibility

INTERGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT The use of additional chemical control measures is important to minimise the risk of resistance to Velifer biological insecticide developing with repeated, ongoing use.

Precautions Not for domestic use.

Re-entry or Rehandling Do not enter treated areas until spray has dried or dissipated and enclosed area has been thoroughly ventilated, unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing), gauntlet-length chemical resistant gloves and disposable mist face mask covering mouth and nose.
