Application Instructions
1. Mixing
This product is a Water Dispersible Granule (WG). Premix the required quantity in a clean bucket of water to form a uniform suspension before adding to the main spray tank. Agitate continuously.
2. Timing
Apply at the first sign of pest appearance. Because it stops feeding immediately, it is excellent for preventing the transmission of viral diseases carried by aphids and whiteflies.
Safety Precautions
Warning: Wear personal protective equipment. Flonicamid is generally safe for beneficial insects (IPM friendly) but toxic to aquatic organisms. Avoid contamination of water sources.
