4 DIRECTIONS FOR USE IMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the Product Label. All instructions within this section must be read carefully in order to obtain safe and successful use of this product. Contest is a contact and stomach acting insecticide with residual foliar activity. 1. Restrictions/Warnings Damage may result unless all recommendations are carefully carried out. DO NOT use less than the minimum volume of water specified. Reduced volume spraying must not be used for cereal aphid control in wheat and barley after 31 March in year of harvest. This product must not be applied to a cereal crop if any product containing a pyrethroid insecticide or dimethoate has been applied to that crop after the start of ear emergence (GS 51). Do not apply this product in tank mixture with a triazole-containing fungicide when bees are likely to be actively foraging in the crop. It is recommended that as a matter of good practice, spraying in oilseed rape should be carried out in the late evening or early morning or in dull weather if at all possible and local beekeepers should be advised of the intention to spray and the chemical being used. Consult processors before using on crops for processing. 2. Crop Specific Information 2.1 Winter Oilseed Rape PESTS: Cabbage Stem Flea Beetle and Rape Winter Stem Weevil. (Reduction of spread of Beet Western Yellows Virus). 67 g/ha Contest should be applied when adult Cabbage Stem Flea Beetle feeding damage is first seen on young rape plants. A second application should be made when larval damage is seen in the leaf petioles (normally one month later). In situations where no adult feeding damage is seen, the first application should be made when larval damage is first seen in the leaf petioles, followed by a second application one month later.* NOTE: The use of Contest for the control of Cabbage Stem Flea Beetle will also control the adults and young larvae of Rape Winter Stem Weevil if these are present in the crop at the time of application. Applications of Contest at these timings will also reduce the spread of Beet Western Yellows Virus. PESTS: Cabbage Seed Weevil and Brassica Pod Midge. 133 g/ha ~xmam indd :48:55

5 Contest may be applied at any time during the flowering period when Seed Weevil numbers reach the threshold for spraying*. Best results are normally achieved when application coincides with the onset of peak adult activity. This often occurs between the 20 pod set stage and the end of flowering on the main raceme, i.e. 75% petal fall across the entire crop. * Details of thresholds are available from ADAS or your specialist adviser. 2.2 Winter and Spring Oilseed Rape A maximum total dose of 400 g/ha per crop may be applied to Winter Oilseed Rape. 265 g/ha/crop may be applied to Spring Oilseed Rape with a maximum of 133 g/ha/crop to be applied after the yellow bud stage in both Winter and Spring Oilseed Rape. PESTS: Pollen beetle 67 g/ha Application should be made at the green to yellow bud stage, a soon as pest numbers reach the threshold* for spraying. A second application may be required 3-7 days later (the exact timing dependent on the speed of pest re-infestation and when the threshold is reached) within the green to yellow bud stage of the crop. PESTS: Pollen Beetle and Cabbage Seed Weevil (mixed populations) In Spring Oilseed Rape, and in backward crops of Winter Oilseed Rape, Cabbage Seed Weevil may also be present at the yellow bud stage. In these situations control of both Pollen Beetle and Cabbage Seed Weevil is required.* (See also separate sections on cabbage seed weevil). 133g/ha Application should be made at yellow bud, as soon as pest numbers reach the threshold for spraying*. NOTE: The use of Contest for the control of Pollen Beetle and Cabbage Seed Weevil will also give some reduction in the numbers of adult Cabbage Stem Weevil if these are present in the crop at the time of application. 2.3 Spring Oilseed Rape PESTS: Cabbage Seed Weevil 133 g/ha Apply when pest numbers reach the threshold* for spraying, normally from the yellow bud stage of the crop. Application at yellow bud will also control pollen beetle (see separate section on pollen beetle). A further application may be necessary if continuing pest pressure causes the seed weevil threshold* to be reached ~xmam indd :48:55

6 during flowering (between the 20 pod set stage and the end of flowering on the main raceme, i.e. 75% petal fall across the entire crop). It is recommended that as a matter of good practice, spraying in oilseed rape should be carried out in the late evening or early morning or in dull weather if at all possible and local beekeepers should be advised of the intention to spray and the chemical being used. *Details of thresholds are available from ADAS or your specialist adviser. 2.4 Wheat and Barley The maximum total dose for autumn and spring application to wheat and barley is 265 g/ha/crop with a maximum of 100 g/ha/crop applied between 1 January and 31 March in the year of harvest. This may be followed by a single summer application of 100 g/ha/crop between 1 April and 31 August in the year of harvest, with a latest time of application of before early dough stage. PESTS: Cereal Aphids autumn/winter (reduction of spread of barley yellow dwarf virus and control of yellow cereal fly) 100 g/ha High risk situations e.g. crops drilled before the 3rd week of September, crops following grass or grassy stubbles, or crops in areas with a history of BYDV. The first application should be made when aphids are first seen in the crop (or by mid-october). A second application will be necessary at the end of aphid migration, which is normally at the end of October or beginning of November. Where conditions continue to favour prolonged aphid activity, e.g. mild winters, and where two applications of another insecticide have already been made in the autumn, one application of Contest can be made in December to March. Other situations Apply in late October or early November to crops which have emerged by mid-october if aphids are found, or on ADAS warnings. NOTE: Contest applied in the autumn for aphid control will also give some control of yellow cereal fly if present in the crop. PESTS: Cereal Aphids summer Reduced volume spraying must not be used for cereal aphid control in wheat and barley after 31 March in the year of harvest. 100 g/ha in 200 litres of water per hectare. A single application may be made from 1 April to 31 August in any one summer. Apply between the onset of flowering and the milky ripe stage (GS 61 to 73) when 66% or more heads are infested (equivalent to five aphids per ear) and aphid numbers are increasing. (Details of thresholds are available from ADAS or your specialist adviser). ~xmam indd :48:55

7 This product must not be applied to a cereal crop if any product containing a pyrethroid insecticide or dimethoate has been applied to that crop after the start of ear emergence (GS 51). 2.5 Cabbage; Brussels Sprouts; Cauliflower; Broccoli; Calabrese and Kale Maximum number of applications: 4 PESTS: Flea Beetle 50 g/ha Apply as soon as pest attack is observed on seedling plants. Repeat if necessary. PESTS: Caterpillars 67 g/ha Apply when damage is first seen or as a preventative spray. Repeat if necessary. 2.6 Combining and Vining Peas Maximum number of applications: 3 PESTS: Pea and Bean Weevil 100 g/ha Apply when severe damage by adults to growing point is being caused in the early growth stages of the crop. Under high pest pressure a repeat application may be required 2 3 weeks later. PESTS: Pea moth 67 g/ha Apply according to ADAS/PGRO warnings or as indicated by pheromone traps. For further information consult your specialist advisor. On dry peas repeat 14 days later. If moth activity remains high a third application may be needed. PESTS: Pea Aphid 100 g/ha For partial control apply according to current thresholds. Repeat if necessary, up to a maximum of three applications. Consult you specialist advisor for further details. ~xmam indd :48:55

8 2.7 Field and Broad Beans PESTS: Pea and Bean Weevil 100 g/ha Apply when severe damage by adults to growing point is being caused in the early growth stages of the crop. Under high pest pressure a repeat application may be required 2-3 weeks later. 3. Mixing and Spraying 3.1 Water volume Contest should be applied in not less than 200 litres of water per hectare. In situations where increased coverage is required, for example in dense or thick foliage or when the pests are concealed, the volume of water should be increased to where sufficient coverage is obtained, up to a maximum of 500 litres per hectare. Reduced volume spraying must not be used on wheat and barley after 31 March in the year of harvest. 3.2 Mixing Quarter fill the spray tank with clean water and begin agitation. Add the recommended quantity of Contest and complete filling. Continue agitation until spraying is complete. Apply without delay maintaining continuous agitation until spraying is complete. If a tank-mix with another material is required, always add Contest to the tank first and ensure it is evenly dispersed through the tank before adding the second material. ~xmam indd :48:55

9 The following does not form part of the product label under the Control of Pesticides Regulations With many products there is a general risk of resistance developing to the active ingredients. For this reason a change in activity cannot be ruled out. It is generally impossible to predict with certainty how resistance may develop because there are so many crop and use connected ways of influencing this. We therefore have to exclude liability for damage or loss attributable to any such resistance that may develop. To help minimise any loss in activity the BASF recommended rate should in all events be adhered to. Numerous, particularly regional or regionally attributable, factors can influence the activity of the product. Examples include weather and soil conditions, crop plant varieties, crop rotation, treatment times, application amounts, admixture with other products, appearance of organisms resistant to active ingredients and spraying techniques. Under particular conditions a change in activity or damage to plants cannot be ruled out. The manufacturer or supplier is therefore unable to accept any liability in such circumstances. All goods supplied by us are of high grade and we believe them to be suitable, but as we cannot exercise control over their mixing or use or the weather conditions during and after application, which may affect the performance of the material, all conditions and warranties, statutory or otherwise, as to the quality or fitness for any purpose of our goods are excluded and no responsibility will be accepted by us for any damage or injury whatsoever arising from their storage, handling, application or use; but nothing should be deemed to exclude or restrict any liability upon us which cannot be excluded or restricted under the provisions of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 or any similar applicable law. ~xmam indd :48:55
