Dispose of rinsate by adding it to the spray tank. Do not dispose of undiluted chemical on site. Wash outside of the container and the cap. Store cleaned container in a sheltered place with cap removed. It will then be acceptable for recycling at any drumMUSTER collection or similar container management program site. The cap should not be replaced, but may be taken separately.

SAFETY DIRECTIONS

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

Restraints:
DO NOT use if rainfall is expected before spray has dried as reduced efficacy may result.
DO NOT apply if heavy rains or storms are forecast within 3 days.
DO NOT irrigate to the point of runoff for at least 3 days after application.

SPRAY DRIFT RESTRAINTS
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 3 and 20 kilometres per hour at the application site during the time of application.

DO NOT apply by aircraft.

DO NOT apply by a boom sprayer.

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 vertical sprayer unless the following requirements are met:
• Spray is not directed above the target canopy.
• The outside of the sprayer is turned off when turning at the end of rows and when spraying the outer row on each side of the application site.
• For dilute water rates up to the maximum listed for each type of canopy specified, minimum distances between the application site and downwind sensitive areas (see ‘Mandatory buffer zones’ section of the following table titled ‘Buffer zones for vertical sprayers’) are observed.

Buffer zones for vertical sprayers

| Type of target canopy and dilute water rate | Mandatory downwind buffer zones for: |
| :--- | :--- |
| | Natural aquatic area | Livestock areas |
| 2 metres tall and smaller, maximum dilute water rate of 1500 L/ha | 45 metres | Not required |
| Taller than 2 metres (not fully-foliated), maximum dilute water rate of 1500 L/ha | 85 metres | 10 metres |
| Taller than 2 metres (fully-foliated), maximum dilute water rate of 1500 L/ha | 80 metres | Not required |

| Crop | Pest | Rate | WHP | Critical Comments |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Pome fruit (Apples & Pears) | Two-spotted mite (Tetranychus urticae) | Dilute Spraying 170mL / 100 L (26.5 g ai/100L) | Harvest: 14 days | Kanemite should be applied to the point of run-off as soon as mites appear. Equipment should be calibrated so that no less than 1000 L of water is applied per hectare. Complete coverage of all foliage is essential. Only one application should be made per season. |
| Stone fruit (including Nectarines, Peaches, Plums, Apricots & Cherries) | | | | |

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

WITHHOLDING PERIOD:
POME FRUIT: DO NOT HARVEST FOR 14 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION.
STONE FRUIT: DO NOT HARVEST FOR 14 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION.
GRAZING: DO NOT graze any treated area or cut for stockfood.

EXPORT OF TREATED PRODUCE:
MRLS OR IMPORT TOLERANCES FOR ACEQUINOCYL MAY NOT BE ESTABLISHED IN ALL MARKETS. IF YOU ARE USING THIS PRODUCT ON POME AND STONE FRUIT FOR EXPORT, PLEASE CHECK WITH UPL AUSTRALIA PTY LTD FOR THE LATEST INFORMATION.

EXPORT TRADE ADVICE – TREATED CROPS:
TREATED CROP COMMODITIES DESTINED FOR EXPORT MAY REQUIRE EXTRA TIME BETWEEN APPLICATION AND HARVEST TO BE ACCEPTED IN SOME EXPORT MARKETS. BEFORE YOU USE THIS PRODUCT, YOU ARE ADVISED TO CONTACT UPL AUSTRALIA PTY LTD AND/OR YOUR INDUSTRY BODY ABOUT ANY POTENTIAL TRADE ISSUES AND THEIR MANAGEMENT.

EXPORT TRADE ADVICE – LIVESTOCK:
CONSUMPTION BY LIVESTOCK OF ANY MATERIALS PREVIOUSLY TREATED WITH THIS PRODUCT MAY PRODUCE RESIDUES IN THE ANIMAL THAT MIGHT NOT BE ACCEPTABLE IN SOME EXPORT MARKETS. BEFORE YOU USE THIS PRODUCT, YOU ARE ADVISED TO CONTACT UPL AUSTRALIA PTY LTD AND/OR THE RELEVANT LIVESTOCK INDUSTRY BODY ABOUT ANY POTENTIAL TRADE ISSUES AND THEIR MANAGEMENT. YOU SHOULD ALSO BE PREPARED TO INFORM OTHER LIVESTOCK PRODUCERS WHO INTEND USING THE MATERIAL AS STOCKFEED OF ITS CHEMICAL EXPOSURE HISTORY.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
Kanemite Miticide is a selective miticide for the control of Two-spotted Mite in Pome Fruit and Stone Fruit. When applied to the foliage as directed, Kanemite Miticide provides knockdown through contact activity and good residual control.
Due to its unique chemistry, mode of action and selective nature, Kanemite is relatively inactive against beneficial/predaceous mites and insects and therefore is compatible with IPM and resistance management programs.

***

Crop Monitoring:
Effective control depends upon regular crop monitoring. Check trees regularly (every 3-5 days) during the season.

Mixing Instructions:
Measure the required amount of Kanemite, add to partly filled spray tank under agitation, and then add the remainder of the water. Use a sprayer designed to apply high volumes of spray solution 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 spray solution (Kanemite + water) to cover the crop to the point of run-off. Avoid excessive run-off. The required amount of spray solution (Kanemite + water) will change as the crop grows. The required water volume may be determined by applying different test volumes, using different settings on the sprayer, from industry guidelines or expert advice.
It is recommended that solutions of Kanemite mixed with water be used promptly, to prevent degradation of the product.

Application:
This product is a contact miticide and therefore it is important to achieve complete coverage of the crop to ensure mite control.

Resistance Management:
Pome & stone fruit: Only one application should be applied per season.

INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING:
GROUP 20B INSECTICIDE
For insecticide resistance management Kanemite® Miticide is a Group 20B insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to Kanemite Miticide and other Group 20B insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if Kanemite Miticide or other Group 20B insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of Kanemite Miticide on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, UPL Australia Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Kanemite Miticide to control resistant insects.

PRECAUTION:
Re-entry Period:
Do not enter treated areas until the spray has dried. If prior entry is necessary wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing). Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use.

PROTECTION OF HONEY BEES AND OTHER INSECT POLLINATORS
Harmful to bees. DO NOT apply to crops from the onset of flowering until flowering is complete. 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.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT
Very toxic to aquatic life. DO NOT contaminate wetlands or watercourses with this product or used containers.
