Application Instructions
1. Mixing
This product is an Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC). Add the required quantity to a small amount of water to form an emulsion, then add to the spray tank with agitation.
2. Timing
Apply at the first sign of pest infestation. For borers, timely application before larvae enter the fruit/stem is critical. Ensure thorough coverage of foliage.
Safety Precautions
Warning: Pyrethroids are highly toxic to bees and aquatic life. Do not spray during active bee foraging. Wear protective clothing to avoid skin irritation (paresthesia).
