Brandon

INSECTICIDE

WATER SOLUBLE GRANULE (SG)

Active Consistent: Emamectin benzoate 50 g/kg

For the control of Diamondback Moth (Cabbage Moth) and Cabbage White Butterfly in Brassica Vegetables, Light Brown Apple Moth and Grapevine Moth in Grapes and Heliothids in Capsicum, Lettuce, Sweet Corn and Tomatoes as specified in the Directions for Use table.

GENERAL INSTRUCTION:

Add the required amount of Brandon to a partly filled spray tank then add the remainder of the water.

MIXING/APPLICATION

Dilute Spraying: Use a sprayer designed to apply high volumes of water up to the point of runoff 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 runoff. Avoid excessive runoff. 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. The required dilute spray volume will change and the sprayer set up and operation may also need to be changed as the crop grows.

INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING

For insecticide resistance management BRANDON Insecticide is a Group 6 insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to BRANDON and other Group 6A insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population.

The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if BRANDON or other Group 6 insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of BRANDON on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since the occurrence of resistant insects is difficult to detect prior to use, Mckinley trading LP. accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of BRANDON to control resistant insects. BRANDON may be subject to specific resistance management strategies. For further information contact your local supplier, BRANDON representative or local agricultural department agronomist.

COMPATIBILITY:

As formulations of other manufacturer’s products are beyond the control of Mckinley Trading LP and the quality of water may vary with location, all mixtures should be tested prior to mixing commercial quantities.

CROP	PEST	RATE	CRITICAL COMMENTS
Brassica Vegetables Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Cabbages, Cauliflower only	Diamondback Moth (Cabbage Moth) (Plutella xylostella), Cabbage White Butterfly (Pieris rapae)	150 to 300 g/ha	Spray at first signs of insect infestation as indicated by local spray thresholds. Use the lower rate on low to moderate infestations. DO NOT make more than 4 applications to any brassica crop. Where more than one crop is grown DO NOT make more than 4 applications of BRANDON in any one year.
Capsicum, Lettuce	Heliothis (Helicoverpa armigera, Helicoverpa punctigera)	150 to 250 g/ha	Spray at first signs of insect infestation as indicated by local spray thresholds. For best results apply soon after the Helicoverpa eggs have hatched. DO NOT apply more than 4 sprays of BRANDON per crop. Where more than one crop is grown per year DO NOT apply more than 4 sprays per year. Ensure thorough spray coverage.   Use  the  lower  rate  when  targeting  light  infestations  of  small larvae. Use 250 g/ha during periods of heavy insect pressure or under very hot and sunny conditions.
Grapes (except grapes grown for dried fruit production)	Lightbrown Apple Moth (Epiphyas postvittana) Grapevine Moth (Phalaenoides glycinae)	15 g/100 L	DO NOT apply after bunch closure. For optimal control of Light Brown Apple Moth apply soon after egg lay when larvae are small in size and before larvae become webbed into the bunches. Eggs laid after application on new growth may not be controlled. For Grapevine Moth control, spray when local threshold levels have been reached. Monitor pest levels after application, a further application may be required (minimum retreatment interval: 7 to 14 days). Apply by dilute or concentrate spraying equipment. Apply a maximum of 2 applications. Ensure thorough coverage. Apply the same amount of product to the target crop whether applying this product by dilute or concentrate spraying methods.
Sweet Corn	Heliothis (Helicoverpa armigera, Helicoverpa punctigera)	150 to 250 g/ha	For best results apply just prior to or just after the Helicoverpa eggs have hatched, but before larvae enter the cob. DO NOT apply more than 4 sprays of BRANDON per crop. Where more than one crop is grown per year DO NOT apply more than 4 sprays per year. Thorough spray coverage is critical. Larvae present within the cob at the time of spraying may not be controlled. Use the lower rate when targeting light infestations of  small larvae.
Fruiting vegetables including tomatoes eggplants, capsicums, chillies (field grown and protected cropping)	Heliothis (Helicoverpa spp) Cluster caterpillar (Spodoptera litura)	150 to 300 g/ha	DO NOT apply more than four (4) sprays of BRANDON or other insecticide containing emamectin per crop. Minimum retreatment interval 7 days. Where more than one crop is grown per year DO NOT apply more than four (4) sprays per year.
Legume vegetables Including Green beans, green peas, sugarsnap peas, snow peas	Heliothis (Helicoverpa spp.) Cluster caterpillar (Spodoptera litura) Loopers (Chrysodeixis spp)	150 to 300 g/ha	DO NOT apply more than four (4) sprays of BRANDON or other insecticide containing emamectin per crop. Minimum retreatment interval 7 days. Where more than one crop is grown per year DO NOT apply more than four (4) sprays per year.
Cucurbits including cucumber, melons, pumpkins, squash, zucchini	Heliothis (Helicoverpa spp.) Cluster caterpillar (Spodoptera litura) Cucumber moth (Diaphania indica)	150 to 250 g/ha	Spray at first signs of insect infestation as indicated by local spray thresholds. For best results apply just prior to or just after egg hatch when larvae are small. DO NOT target large larvae. Apply before larvae enter fruit or lettuce heads. Use the higher rate during periods of heavy insect pressure or under very hot and sunny conditions. Ensure thorough spray coverage.
Pome Fruit	Codling moth	150 – 300 g/ha	Apply as needed using locally recommended scouting and monitoring techniques. Timing and frequency of applications should be based on target insect populations reaching locally determined economic thresholds. Application may be repeated to maintain control – typically at 7-14 day intervals; Brandon Insecticide should be applied at or immediately after  hatch of the target insect to ensure treatment of small larvae. Treatments must be made before larvae penetrate fruit or stems or before larvae begin webbing and sheltering.
Tree Nuts (Includes Almonds, Macadamias And Pecans)	Codling Moth (Cydia pomonella) False codling moth (Cryptophlebia leucotreta) African bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera) Leafrollers	20 – 30 g/100 l water	Apply as needed, using locally recommended scouting and monitoring techniques. Timing and frequency of applications should be made at first signs of insect infestation as indicated by local spray threshold. For best results apply soon after pest eggs have hatched
