Rycar Insecticide

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

MIXING DIRECTIONS:

Shake well before using. Read and follow all label directions for each tankmix product prior to any tank mixing with RYCAR insecticide. This product can be mixed with other registered pesticides. The most restrictive use directions and precautions must be followed. No labeled dose rate should be exceeded.

RYCAR Insecticide Alone: Begin with clean equipment. Fill spray tank with 3/4 of the amount of water needed for the intended application and then turn on agitation. Pour recommended amount of product on the surface of water in the spray tank. Add the remaining water volume to the spray tank with agitation running. Keep agitation running during filling and spraying operations. If spraying must be stopped before emptying the sprayer, resume agitation before spraying the remainder of the load.

RYCAR Insecticide Tank Mixtures: Begin with clean equipment. Fill spray tank with 3/4 of the amount of water needed for the intended application and turn on agitation. If using a buffering agent, add after filling the tank with 3/4 amount of water. Add the recommended amount of tankmix products in the following order while maintaining agitation:

1. products in water-soluble packets
2. wettable powders
3. water-dispersible granulars and/or soluble powders
4. flowable liquids (including RYCAR inse
5. emulsifiable concentrates
6. adjuvants and/or oils
7. remaining amount of water to achieve the desired level

RYCAR insecticide is physically and biologically compatible with many registered pesticides, fertilizers or micronutrients. Contact your SePRO turf and ornamental specialist for advice when considering mixing RYCAR insecticide with other pesticides, fertilizers or micronutrients. If you have no experience with the combination you are considering, you should conduct a test to determine physical compatibility. To determine physical compatibility, add the recommended proportions of each chemical with the same proportion of water, as will be present in the chemical supply tank, into a suitable container, mix thoroughly and allow to stand for five minutes. If the combination remains mixed, or can be readily re-mixed, the mixture is considered physically compatible.

APPLICATION DIRECTIONS

Indoor Greenhouse Use on Ornamental Crops

RYCAR insecticide is recommended for use in indoor greenhouses on several ornamental plants. The use directions of this product are based on the results of product testing programs on a wide variety of ornamental plants. However, it is impossible to test this product on all species and cultivars. The phytotoxicity of RYCAR insecticide has been assessed on a wide variety of common ornamental plants with no phytotoxic effects. However, not all plant species and their varieties and cultivars have been tested with possible tankmix combinations, sequential pesticide treatments, and adjuvants and surfactants. Local conditions also can influence crop tolerance and may not match those under which testing has been conducted. Therefore, before using RYCAR insecticide, test the product on a sample of the crop to be treated to ensure that a phytotoxic response will not occur as a result of applications.

RYCAR insecticide works primarily through contact oral and translaminar activity, so good spray coverage is necessary for control of listed insects on the label. Applications should be made immediately after the spray solution is prepared. Under severe insect pressure, use the maximum rates and the shorter spray interval as specified on the
label. Dense foliage or excessive growth will often prevent adequate coverage; adjust spray volumes accordingly. Mix with sufficient water and apply as a foliar spray to obtain uniform coverage. Treat plants when pests are immature or at a susceptible stage and populations are building, before crop damage occurs.

Applications may be made with high or low volume spray equipment that provides thorough coverage of the plant. Apply with properly calibrated spray equipment. A wetting agent or other spray adjuvant, approved for use on the crop, may be added to spray solutions according to the manufacturer’s use instructions to achieve optimum control.

USE LIMITATIONS AND PRECAUTIONS FOR INDOOR GREENHOUSE USE ON ORNAMENTAL CROPS

• Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
• Do not apply this product as a smoke or aerosol.
• Do not harvest cut flowers for 48 hours after spraying.
• Do not compost any discarded plant materials that have been treated with this product.
• Do not apply this product to plants used for food or animal feed.
• Do not apply to fruit trees and vines that will bear harvestable fruit within 12 months.

CONTROLLING PESTICIDE RUNOFF IN GREENHOUSES:

Do not allow pesticide spray solution to run off outside of the application area. Do not use in greenhouses that discharge irrigation runoff to surface water drains. If applied in an area with a nonpermeable floor and a floor drainage system, excess application spray or irrigation runoff must be collected and subjected to secondary wastewater treatment.

APPLICATION RATE CHART FOR RYCAR INSECTICIDE:

GREENHOUSE ORNAMENTAL PLANTS

• Whiteflies - Dilution rate: 1.6 to 3.2 fl oz per 100 gallons / Dilution rate: 0.47 to 0.95 mL per gallon.
• Aphids, Leafhoppers, Chilli Thrips - Dilution rate: 2.4 to 3.2 fl oz per 100 gallons / Dilution rate: 0.71 to 0.95 mL per gallon.
• Mealubugs - Dilution rate: 6.4 per 100 gallons / Dilution rate: 1.89 mL per gallon.

USE DIRECTIONS:

Apply no more than 10 gallons of spray solution per 1,000 sq ft per application. Do not apply more than 2 applications per crop cycle. Do not apply more than 12.8 fl oz (378 mL) per crop cycle. Allow at least 10 days between applications. Use in sufficient volume to obtain uniform plant coverage. 100 gallons of finished spray solution will typically cover 20,000 sq ft of greenhouse. Do not harvest cut flowers for 48 hours after spraying
