Store under lock and key in a cool, dry place out of the reach of children, uninformed persons and animals and away from feed and food, in accordance with the Hazardous Substances Act 1973, (Act No. 15 of 1973). Re-entry: Do not enter treated area within 2 days after treatment unless wearing protective clothing. DO NOT USE IN THE HOME GARDEN Keep container tightly closed In case of poisoning CALL A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY and make the label available to him. AERIAL APPLICATION: Notify all inhabitants of the immediate area to be sprayed and issue the necessary warnings. Do not spray over or allow drift to contaminate adjacent areas or water. Although this remedy has been extensively tested under a large variety of conditions the registration holder does not warrant that it will be efficacious under all conditions because the action and effect thereof may be affected by factors such as abnormal soil, climatic and storage conditions; quality of dilution water, incompatibility with other substances not indicated on the label and the occurrence of resistance of the pests to the remedy concerned as well as by the method, time and accuracy of application. The registration holder further does not accept responsibility for damage to crops, vegetation, the environment or harm to man or animal or for lack of performance of the remedy concerned due to failure of the user to follow the label instructions or to the occurrence of conditions which could not have been foreseen in terms of the registration. Consult the supplier in event of any uncertainty. MASTA 900 SP/14/07/2015 2

3 PRECAUTIONS: Do not inhale dust vapour or spray mist. Wear protective clothing (overalls, rubber boots and gloves, face shield and respirator) when handling the product and during application. After work wash entire body with soap and water. Do not eat, drink or smoke while mixing or applying the product or before washing hands and face and changing clothing. Prevent contamination of food, feed, drinking water and eating utensils. Wash contaminated clothing and protective equipment in a strong washing soda solution and rinse thoroughly before wearing again. Prevent drift of spray mist onto other crops, grazing, rivers, dams or areas not under treatment. Clean all equipment thoroughly after use and do not contaminate crop, grazing, rivers or dams with wash water. Ensure plastic containers and foil bags are empty (foil bags do not contain any water soluble sachets) before being disposed of. Destroy the empty containers by perforation and flattening and dispose of in a responsible manner. Do not use empty containers for any other purpose. RESISTANCE WARNING: MASTA 900 SP is a group code 1A insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant to MASTA 900 SP and other group code 1A insecticides. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if these insecticides are used repeatedly. These resistant insects may not be controlled by MASTA 900 SP or any other group code 1A insecticide. To delay insecticide resistance: Avoid exclusive repeated use of insecticides from the same insecticide group code. Alternate or tank mix with products form different insecticide group codes, Integrate the control methods (chemical, cultural, biological) into insect control programmes. For specific information on resistance management contact the registration holder of this product. SYMPTOMS OF HUMAN POISONING: Headache, fatigue, faintness, giddiness, excessive sweating, nausea, abdominal pains, vomiting, blurred vision, muscle twitching, unusually small pupils, respiratory distress and coma. ANTIDOTE: Atropine sulphate. FIRST AID TREATMENT: ALWAYS OBTAIN TREATMENT FROM A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY Remove patient from source of poisoning to a well-ventilated area. Keep the patient quiet and reassured. Remove contaminated clothing and rinse contaminated body area thoroughly with plenty of soap and water. Do not rub skin. Flush contamination out of eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes. If swallowed induce vomiting by tickling the back part of the throat. Repeat until vomit is clear and free from the smell of poison. Administer artificial respiration or closed chest cardiac massage if necessary. Do not apply direct mouth-to-mouth respiration. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. MASTA 900 SP/14/07/2015 3

4 Call a physician immediately and advise him of poisoning, or transport patient to a physician or hospital, whichever is fastest. SHOW THIS LABEL TO THE PHYSICIAN NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Preferred treatment of poisoning in adults is Atropine sulphate 2 4 mg, intravenously, repeated at minute intervals until atropinization (dry flushed skin and tachycardia) appears. Pralidoxime (2 PAM, Protopam) and other oximes are contra-indicated. However, for exposure to both MASTA 900 SP and an organophosphorous insecticide, 2 PAM may be used as required to supplement the atropine sulphate treatment as described. : of MASTA 900 SP may only be done by a registered Aerial Application Operator using a correctly calibrated, registered aircraft according to the instructions of SANS Code (Aerial Application of Agricultural Pesticides). Ensure that the spray mixture is distributed evenly over the target area and that the loss of spray material during application is restricted to a minimum. It is therefore essential that the following criteria be met: Volume: A spray mixture volume of 30 litre per hectare is recommended. As this product has not been evaluated at a reduced volume rate, the registration holder cannot guarantee efficacy, or be held responsible for any adverse effects if this product is applied aerially at a lower volume rate than recommended above. Droplet coverage: 30 to 40 droplets per cm² must be recovered at the target area. Droplet size: A droplet spectrum with a VMD of 250 to 280 microns is recommended. Limit the production of fine droplets less than 150 microns (high drift and evaporation potential) to a minimum. Flying height: Maintain the height of the spray boom at 3 to 4 metres above the target. Do not spray when aircraft dives, is in a climb or when banking Use suitable atomising equipment that will produce the desired droplet size and coverage, but which will ensure the minimum loss of product. The spraying system must produce a droplet spectrum with the lowest possible Relative Span. Position all the atomisers within the inner 60 to 75 % of the wingspan to prevent droplets from entering the wingtip vortices. The difference in temperature between the wet and dry bulb thermometers, of a whirling hygrometer, should not exceed 8 C. Stop spraying if the wind speed exceeds 15 km/h. Stop spraying under turbulent, unstable and dry conditions during the heat of the day. Spraying under temperature inversion conditions (spraying in or above the inversion layer) and/or high humidity conditions (relative humidity 80 % and above) may lead to the following: a) reduced efficacy due to suspension and evaporation of small droplets in the air (inadequate coverage). b) damage to other sensitive crops and/or non-target areas through drifting of the suspended spray cloud away from the target field. Ensure that the Aerial Spray Operator knows exactly which fields to spray. Obtain an assurance from the Aerial Spray Operator that the above requirements will be met and that relevant data will be compiled in a logbook and kept for future reference. DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Use only as directed. For period that has to be allowed between last treatment and harvest, see Warnings. COMPATIBILITY: MASTA 900 SP is compatible with most fungicides and insecticides normally used. IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ALKALINE MATERIALS. Do not use in combination with G-49 wetter on citrus. MIXING INSTRUCTIONS: Fill the spray tank with water from ¼ to ½ of its volume. Start agitation (use mechanical or hydraulic agitator) Add the required number of MASTA 900 SP water soluble sachets immediately to the water in the spray tank. MASTA 900 SP/14/07/2015 4

5 Do not touch water soluble sachets with bare hands or allow them to become wet before adding to contents of spray tank wear dry rubber gloves. Fill spray tank with water to the required volume and continue agitation for several minutes before spraying in order to dissolve water soluble sachets and its contents entirely.
