Pesticides Fenitrothion Insecticide may be subject to specific resistance strategies.
Grain: Maximum efficiency of the product in grain protection is dependent upon its even distribution through the grain, the absence of infestation at uptake, sufficiently low moisture content ie. Less than 12% and storage temperature of below 27oC.
Mixing: Mix the required amount of spray for immediate use. Slowly add Pesticides Fenitrothion to required amount of water in tank and agitate well before commencing to spray.
Equipment (Grain): The diluted spray should be applied through specialized grain spraying equipment. Important: the spray nozzle must be capable of delivery of an even spray pattern.
Cleaning: On completion, wash out spray equipment, mixing and measuring utensils with water.
PRECAUTION :
Ground Spraying To minimise exposure, a vehicle equipped with an enclosed cab should be used for ground spraying operations when practicable. It is highly desirable that closed mixing/loading systems are in place and enclosed cabs fitted. It would be preferable that the enclosed cabs are equipped with air-conditioning and pesticide filters.
