DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Read and follow all label instructions thoroughly before applying Millenium. Because of the clustered infestation patterns exhibited by these pests, it is necessary to thoroughly sample all areas for insect populations before spot treating. If thorough sampling is not feasible, it is recommended that Millenium be broadcast over the entire infested area.

APPLICATION METHODS & MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Millenium can be applied by using common ground spraying, chemigation and aerial application equipment.

• Fill spray vessel or stock tank with half of the required amount of cool, clean water.
• Start agitation and add the required number of Millenium trays.
• Continue agitation while mixing and fill spray tank to the required spray volume.
• Maintain sufficient agitation during application to ensure uniform dispersion of nematodes in the spray mix.
• Apply to moist soil when soil temperatures are between 55-86 degrees F (13-30 degrees C). If soil temperatures are higher than 86 degrees F (30 degrees C), irrigate with at least 0.1 inch (0.3 cm) of water before applying Millenium.
• Irrigate with at least 0.1 inch (0.3 cm) of water following the application of Millenium within 30 minutes under hot, dry conditions and within 2 hours under cool, wet conditions.

Containerized Nursery Application

• Best results are achieved by applying Millenium as a soil drench.
• Apply Millenium in a sufficient volume of water to thoroughly soak the soil or growing media, but before water leaches from the pots.

Ground Spraying Application

• Surface spraying equipment: Use a minimum volume of 200 gallons per acre (1,880 liters per hectare).
• Airblast spraying equipment: Use a minimum volume of 400 gallons per acre (3,750 liters per hectare).
• Apply as a course, low-pressure spray to the point of runoff on the bark areas from the ground level up into the scaffolds of the tree.

Chemigation Application (Injection Through Irrigation Equipment)

• Lightly water area to be treated to moisten surface and cool irrigation lines.
• Premix the required amount of Millenium in sufficient water to uniformly inject the entire irrigation system.
• Inject nematodes during second watering. Add Millenium to a clean feeder tank. Suspension must be continuously agitated during injection to prevent nematodes from settling. After injection, rinse feeder tank with clean water and inject into system.
• Non-uniform distribution of nematodes in the irrigation system will result in inconsistent control.

Aerial Application

• Use a minimum water volume of 12 gallons per acre (100 liters per hectare).
• Apply product close to soil surface to reduce drift.

Subsurface Application

• Millenium can be soil-applied using shank, cultivator or spoke-wheel applicators.
• Apply 30-100 gallons of water per acre (280-930 liters per hectare).
• Shank: Apply as a trickle behind each shank at a 2-4 inch (5-10 cm) depth followed by a press wheel to cover opening. Double shanks should be placed at 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) apart and centered on the hill.
• Cultivator: Apply as a spray immediately in front of rolling cultivator. Incorporate to a 2-4 inch (5-10 cm) depth.
• Spoke-wheel: Double spoke-wheels should be placed at 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) apart and centered on the hill. Inject at a 2-4 inch (5-10 cm) depth.

Precautions:

This product contains living organisms that require special handling and application procedures.

• DO NOT SUBDIVIDE. Once opened, use the entire tray immediately.
• Use cool water for mixing and keep tank out of direct sunlight.
• DO NOT STORE MIXED SUSPENSIONS. Use nematode suspensions immediately after they have been mixed.
• Remove filters that are 50 mesh or finer from application equipment and nozzles.
• Do not exceed 300 psi pump pressure.
• Do not use in application systems where nozzle aperture is smaller than 0.5 mm.
• Agitate nematodes constantly during application.
• DO NOT SPOT TREAT. Treat the entire greenhouse crop at the appropriate rate.
• When storing product prior to use, store in refrigerator at 40 degrees Farenhight and use product prior expiration date listed on the packaging.
