| 0.20 ml / 100 meter row or 65 ml / ha | Can be applied as a preventive or corrective treatment (pre- emergent or post-emergent treatment).Apply to a well prepared seedbed free of clods and excessive trash (see below for directions in respect of reduced tillage practices). For satisfactory control the soil should be moist to the surface at the time of application. Repeat the application if re-infestation should occur.A. PREVENTIVE (pre-emergent treatment): Recommended on fields where cutworms usually occur or are expected.Ground application: Row treatment: (0,20 ml / 100 meter row) Apply in at least 3 lt water / 100 meter row length. Apply in a band at least 300 mm wide over the row. Increase the dosage proportionately if the application is made in a wider band.Overall ground treatment: (65 ml / ha) Apply in at least 300 lt water / ha. Aerial application: (65 ml / ha) Apply in 30 lt water / ha according to the instructions under General directions above.NOTE: In production systems using reduced tillage practices (as used by some maize farmers) the cutworm population should be carefully monitored after the initial application as the probability of excessive cutworm populations is high which may call for a second treatment. In this case it is recommended to apply an overall treatment at the appropriate corrective dosage rate.See also Use Restrictions for a description of conditions during which poor control of cutworms can be expected. | - |
Stalk borer
| Recommended rate | Time of application | Number of application |
|---|---|---|
| Ground Application: 1.25 ml / 100 meter row. Aerial Application: 125 ml / ha | Apply as a preventive treatment against young larvae based on scouting for eggs on plants.

If eggs have hatched, spray at the first signs of an infestation. Larvae longer than 10 mm or larvae that have already tunneled into the stalk will not be controlled effectively. To control the second generation stalkborer larvae it is advisable that the moth flights are monitored with the MAIZE STALK BORER BIOTRAP* (Reg. No. L 2982). Refer to the BIOTRAP label for full particulars. Ground application: Direct spray into the funnel. Apply in sufficient water, i.e. 3 lt water / 100 meter row length.

Maize - Spiny Bollworm
| Recommended rate |
| 0.20 ml / 100 meter row or 65 ml / ha |
| Time of application |
| Can be applied as a preventive or corrective treatment (pre- emergent or post-emergent treatment).Apply to a well prepared seedbed free of clods and excessive trash (see below for directions in respect of reduced tillage practices). For satisfactory control the soil should be moist to the surface at the time of application. Repeat the application if re-infestation should occur.A. PREVENTIVE (pre-emergent treatment): Recommended on fields where cutworms usually occur or are expected.Ground application: Row treatment: (0,20 ml / 100 meter row) Apply in at least 3 lt water / 100 meter row length. Apply in a band at least 300 mm wide over the row. Increase the dosage proportionately if the application is made in a wider band.Overall ground treatment: (65 ml / ha) Apply in at least 300 lt water / ha. Aerial application: (65 ml / ha) Apply in 30 lt water / ha according to the instructions under General directions above.NOTE: In production systems using reduced tillage practices (as used by some maize farmers) the cutworm population should be carefully monitored after the initial application as the probability of excessive cutworm populations is high which may call for a second treatment. In this case it is recommended to apply an overall treatment at the appropriate corrective dosage rate.See also Use Restrictions for a description of conditions during which poor control of cutworms can be expected. |

Maize - Stalk borer
| Recommended rate |
| Ground Application: 1.25 ml / 100 meter row. Aerial Application: 125 ml / ha |
| Time of application |
| Apply as a preventive treatment against young larvae based on scouting for eggs on plants. Apply 7 - 10 days after 5 % or more plants are found to be infested with eggs.Do weekly scouting from 2 - 7 weeks after crop emergence by inspecting at least 100 plants at random per field. If eggs have hatched, spray at the first signs of an infestation. Larvae longer than 10 mm or larvae that have already tunneled into the stalk will not be controlled effectively. To control the second generation stalkborer larvae it is advisable that the moth flights are monitored with the MAIZE STALK BORER BIOTRAP* (Reg. No. L 2982). Refer to the BIOTRAP label for full particulars. Ground application: Direct spray into the funnel. Apply in sufficient water, i.e. 3 lt water / 100 meter row length. This will result in the use of 125 m and 62,5 ml Fastac® SC / ha on one and two metre row widths respectively.Aerial application: Apply in 30 lt water / ha according to the directions for ground application.Ensure thorough penetration and coverage.
