| Situation | Pests | Rate | Critical Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Turf | Couchgrass Mite (Aceria cynodoniensis, formerly Eriophyes cynodoniensis) | 1 to 2 L/ha or 10 to 20 mL/100 m² | Apply AGADOR® at 1 L/ha when pest pressure is low (early curative). Use the 2 L/ha rate when pest pressure is high and turf injury is already evident. Always add a non-ionic surfactant to ensure good coverage and penetration of leaf sheaths. Apply 1 to 2 consecutive AGADOR® applications at 21 to 28 day intervals if population persists. Refer to Application section for detailed information. |
| Ring Nematode (Macroposthonia sp), Sting Nematode (Ibipora lolii) | 2 L/ha or 20 mL/100 m² | Apply AGADOR® in an early curative situation (after appropriate nematode extraction, identification and counts). Wash application in with 3 to 6 mm of irrigation or rain immediately after application. Apply up to 3 consecutive AGADOR® applications at 14 to 21 day intervals. Sting Nematode: When counts are 100 nematodes/200 g soil or higher apply at least 3 consecutive applications of AGADOR® at 14 day intervals. Switch to an alternative chemistry class if counts stay high and symptoms persist. Refer to Application section 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 product directly to the spray tank and mix well. AGADOR® mixes completely with water and should not be tank mixed with other fertilisers as it contains an iron chelate. Non-ionic Surfactants: Use AGRAL® Spray Adjuvant (600 g ai/L) at 0.42% v/v or 420 mL/100 L spray mix. Alternatively use other non-ionic surfactants (1000 g ai/L formulations) at 0.25% v/v or 250 mL/100 L spray mix.
Compatibility AGADOR® is compatible with BANNER MAXX® Turf Fungicide, HEADWAY® Maxx Turf Fungicide, HERITAGE MAXX® Turf Fungicide, PRIMO MAXX® Turf Growth Regulator and SUBDUE MAXX® Turf Fungicide.
Application Apply by ground boom sprayer or low pressure hand wand DO NOT apply by backpack application DO NOT apply by a hand gun sprayer DO NOT apply with aircraft DO NOT apply through any type of irrigation system or ultra low volume spray system DO NOT apply with a nozzle height greater than 50 cm above the ground
Nematodes: Application volumes for root affecting nematodes should be as high as possible to ensure placement close to the soil surface. When lower application volumes are used, washing in should commence as soon as possible after application. For best results use very coarse droplets (eg Air Induction 08 nozzles) and total application volume of approximately 1000 L/ha. Preferably spray onto wet or dewy grass. Irrigate with 3 to 6 mm of water commencing within 1 hour of application. Couchgrass Mite: Application volume for Couchgrass Mite should be adequate to ensure thorough and even coverage of the turf leaves and penetration into the crowns. Ideal application volume should be 350 to 500 L/ha. For best results use minimum coarse droplets (eg Air Induction 025 or 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.
Insecticide Resistance Warning GROUP 6 INSECTICIDE For insecticide resistance management AGADOR® Turf Nematicide and Miticide is a Group 6 insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to AGADOR® and other Group 6 insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if AGADOR® and other Group 6 insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of AGADOR® 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 AGADOR® to control resistant insects. AGADOR® may be subject to specific resistance management strategies. For further information contact your supplier, Syngenta representative or local agricultural department agronomist.
Integrated Pest Management The possible effects of AGADOR® on integrated pest management (IPM) strategies in the turf industry have not been studied at the proposed rates. However, based on available information, it cannot be ruled out that AGADOR® may have an adverse effect on non-target beneficial turfgrass invertebrates where such IPM is practiced.
PRECAUTIONS Re-entry Period General Public DO NOT allow public re-entry into treated areas until the spray has dried. Grounds Staff / Professional Operators Low exposure activities: DO NOT allow entry into treated areas until the spray has dried. When prior entry is necessary, wear chemical resistant gloves and footwear. High exposure activities: DO NOT allow entry into treated areas for 4 days for high exposure activities such as hand weeding, unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use.
PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK DO NOT graze treated turf/lawn, or feed turf/lawn clippings from any treated area to poultry or livestock. Highly toxic to bees. Will kill bees foraging in or near treated turf or in hives which are oversprayed or reached by spray drift. Residues may remain toxic to bees for several days after application.
PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT DO NOT apply under weather conditions or from spraying equipment that may cause spray to drift from the target area. Very toxic to aquatic life. DO NOT contaminate wetlands or watercourses with this product or used containers.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL Store in the closed original container in a cool, well ventilated area. DO NOT store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. Triple or preferably pressure rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings to the 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 no facility is 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 Local, State or Territory government regulations. DO NOT burn empty containers or product.
SAFETY DIRECTIONS Harmful if swallowed. Harmful if inhaled. May irritate the eyes. Avoid contact with eyes. DO NOT inhale spray mist.
