APVMA Code :60284 Active Constituent(s): 200g/Lfipronil

Registered For Commercial Use Domestic Use Overview For the control of various insect pests in asparagus, bananas, brassicas, cotton, forestry, ginger, wine grapevines, mushrooms, pasture, potatoes, sorghum, sugarcane and swede. Chemical Group phenyl pyrazole General Instructions For insecticide resistance management REGENT 200SC is a Group 2C insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to REGENT 200SC and other Group 2C insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if REGENT 200SC or other Group 2C insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of REGENT 200SC on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since the occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, Nufarm Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant insects. REGENT 200SC may be subject to specific resistance management strategies. For further information contact your local supplier, Nufarm representative or local agricultural department agronomist. Residues Management Crops Growers should note that MRLs or import tolerances do not exist in all markets for produce treated with REGENT 200SC. If you are growing produce for export, please check with Nufarm Australia Limited for the latest information on MRLs and import tolerances BEFORE using REGENT 200SC. Livestock Livestock may be exposed to fipronil residues in the feed by grazing treated pasture and/or sorghum forage and fodder. Observance of the 14 day grazing withholding period permits compliance with Australian MRLs for fipronil in meat, offal and milk. To meet more stringent export residues requirements, Meat and Livestock Australia recommends Export Slaughter Intervals (ESIs) and Export Grazing Intervals (EGIs) for REGENT 200SC. When livestock grown for export are grazed on pasture and/or sorghum forage and fodder treated with REGENT 200SC the user must obtain details of the recommended export intervals from Meat and Livestock Australia and must follow those recommendations. Mixing Bananas, Brassicas, Cotton, Wine Grapevines, Potatoes, Pasture, Sorghum, Sugarcane Slowly add the required amount of product to water in the spray tank while stirring or agitating. Agitate while spraying. Mushrooms Add required amount of REGENT 200SC to a small quantity of water, ensuring thorough mixing. Asparagus, Bananas, Brassicas, Cotton, Ginger, Wine Grapevines, Pasture, Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, Sorghum, Sugarcane Slowly add the required amount of product to water in the spray tank while stirring or agitating. Agitate while spraying. Mushrooms Add required amount of REGENT 200SC to a small quantity of water, ensuring thorough mixing. Application Bananas Ensure thorough coverage of butts, suckers and surrounding trash and exposed soil. Bananas (Band Spray) Example calculations of the quantity of REGENT 200SC and the minimum water volume required to treat a 100 m row length of bananas for various band widths Brassicas Ensure thorough coverage of foliage and heads. Cotton For ground application use a prepared spray volume of 35 - 75 L/ha depending on the size of the crop. For aerial application see ?Aerial application instructions below. Ginger Apply as a spray to soil and incorporate to a depth of 200 mm prior to planting. Wine Grapevines Regent 200SC should be applied by hand held equipment as a high volume directed spray of approximately 500mL of solution per vine directed to trunks and cordons during dormant period only. Mushrooms Apply mixture to peat moss during preparation of casing, ensuring even mixing in peat moss. Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes Apply as a broadcast spray to the surface of the soil and incorporate to a depth of 15 cm prior to planting. Swede and Turnip Ensure thorough coverage of foliage. AERIAL APPLICATION Use spray techniques that minimise off-target spray drift. DO NOT use rotary atomisers. Use application volumes between 20 L and 50 L/ha. Achieve a droplet density of ~60 droplets/cm2 on a flat surface on the target. When spraying large droplets (>250 ?m), increase the application volume to >40 L/ha to ensure sufficient droplets are produced. Aerial application is not recommended for brassica and potato crops. Protection of wildlife, fish, crustaceans and environment DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers. DO NOT spray across open bodies of water. Highly toxic to fish and aquatic organisms. This product will kill susceptible non-target invertebrates, including beneficial species, if they are exposed to drift. DO NOT apply aerially to brassicas and potatoes. A spray drift minimisation strategy should be employed at all times when aerially applying sprays to, or near, sensitive areas. The strategy envisaged is exemplified by the cotton industry?s Best Management Practice Manual. Protection of crop, native and other non-target plants DO NOT apply in weather conditions or from spraying equipment, that may cause spray to drift onto non-target plants/crops, cropping lands or pastures. Safety Directions Harmful if inhaled or swallowed. Will irritate the eyes and skin. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. When opening the container and preparing product for use, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing), elbow-length PVC gloves and goggles. When using the prepared spray, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and elbow-length PVC gloves. Wash hands after use. After each day's use, wash gloves, goggles and contaminated clothing. Storage Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well ventilated area. DO NOT store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. Disposal 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 bury empty containers in a local authority landfill. If no landfill is available bury the containers below 500 mm in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots. Empty containers and product should NOT be burnt. Precautions Re-entry Period DO NOT allow entry into treated areas until spray has dried. When 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. Human flaggers, if used in aerial spraying operations, must be protected by enclosed cabs. Product details last updated on 01 Feb 2010
