Additional sprays with another registered aphicide may be necessary later in the season should aphids appear. The time period between the application Merit 200 SC and harvest is 100 days and it is thus not recommended to re-apply the product again during the season. CITRUS: Aphids (Toxoptera citricidus) Red scale (Aonidiella aurantii) Psylla (Trioza erythreae) Leafminers (Phyllocnistis citrella) 16 ml / 1 water / 1 tree Apply during August/September at green tip to white bud growth stage the trees.

Do not apply the soil drench through irrigation systems. 3. Do not apply to trees immediately after pruning. 4. WARNING: Do not use Merit 200 SC on kumquat. 5. Insect control on trees older than 15 years can be less effective because a reduction in the uptake the product through the plant roots.

4 Mole crickets (Gryllotalpa africana) 35 ml / 10 water / 400 m 2 Ants 0.5 ml / 0.5 water / 1 nest entrance or 1 ml / 1 water / 2 nest entrances or 5 ml / 5 water / 10 nest entrances Harvester termites (only for home garden use) 40 ml / 40 water / 250 m 2 4 ml / 4 water / 25 m 2 and/or 0.5 ml / 0.5 water / 1 nest entrance or 1 ml / 1 water / 2 nest entrances or 5 ml / 5 water / 10 nest entrances Apply as an overall application at the first signs infestation. Irrigate within 24 hours after application. Do not mow the lawn until after irrigation or rainfall. Repeat the application when necessary. For best results a preventative treatment can be applied at the end October and repeated 60 days later to prevent mole cricket outbreaks. NOTE: Merit 200 SC will not control mole crickets larger than 15 mm effectively. Many species are commonly found in the home garden where they make their nests in between the paving stones, slate etc. and in the lawn. From the garden, ants make their way into the house in search sugar and other foodstuffs. The effective control ants should start with the treatment nests outside with Merit 200 SC. For effective control ants all nest entrances being actively used by ants must be treated. Apply 500 ml the solution per active nest entrance. Pour the solution directly into or immediately around the nest entrance. These are much larger than ants and are commonly seen dragging grass cut from the lawn into their nest entrances, hence the name harvester termites. Their nests cover large areas and have many separate entrances to one nest. As termite nests can penetrate deep into the soil, repeat treatments may be necessary to eliminate the problem. Surface treatment: Apply as an overall application at the first signs infestation. Apply where active nests are noted. Repeat treatment after 3 weeks or when re-infestation is noticed. Nest treatment: For effective control harvester termites all nest entrances being actively used by the termites must be treated. Apply 500 ml the solution per active nest entrance. Pour the solution directly into or immediately around the nest entrance. Repeat treatment when re-infestation occurs, only treat active nest entrances.

GEWAS/PLAAG TOEDIENINGS- HOEVEELHEID Plantluise op rose 2 ml / 1 water / 1 roosboom Konifeer plantluis Plantluise op pampoengewasse SITRUS: Plantluis (Toxoptera citricidus) Rooidopluis (Aonidiella aurantii) Bladvlooi Bome korter as 2 m in hoogte: 2 ml / 1 water / 1 boom Bome tussen 2 en 2.5 m hoog: 4 ml / 2 water / 1 boom Bome tussen 2.5 en 3 m hoog: 8 ml / 4 water / 1 boom Bome hoër as 3 m in hoogte: 16 ml / 8 water / 1 tree OPMERKINGS Dien die mengsel toe as n grond deurdrenkingsbehandeling met n gieter rondom die stamme van roosbome wanneer die eerste plantluise opgemerk word. Herhaal behandeling met 60 dae intervalle. Merit 200 SC kan as n voorkomende en korrektiewe behandeling gebruik word. Om die terug-sterf van bome te voorkom as gevolg van plantluisbesmetting, word jaarlikse voorkomende behandelings aanbeveel. Voorkomend: Om konifeer plantluis besmettings te voorkom, moet die behandeling gedurende April-Mei n aanvang neem. Dien die mengsel toe as n grond deurdrenkingsbehandeling met n gieter rondom die stamme van konifeerbome. Herhaal behandeling 60 dae na eerste toediening. Genesend: Dien die mengsel toe as n grond deurdrenkingsbehandeling met n gieter rondom die stamme van konifeerbome wanneer die eerste plantluise opgemerk word. Herhaal behandeling 60 dae na eerste toediening. 18 ml / 5 water Dien 30 ml van die mengsel toe per plantgat tydens plant onmiddellik na plant. Addisionele bespuitings met n ander geregistreerde plantluisdoder mag nodig wees later in die seisoen as plantluise voorkom. Die tydperk tussen toediening van Merit 200 SC en oes is 100 dae en dit is dus nie wenslik om die produk weer gedurende die seisoen toe te dien nie. 16 ml / 1 water / 1 boom Dien toe in Augustus / September tydens groentot witblomknopgroeistadium van die bome. Dien toe as n grond deurdrenkingsbehandeling rondom die basis van die stam met n gieter. Besproei binne 24 uur na toediening. Wanneer

7 (Trioza erythreae) Bladmyners (Phyllocnistis citrella) op suurlemoene gebruik word, moet alle vrugte, selfs klein vrugte, eers verwyder word. Op suurlemoene kan beheer slegs verwag word op die eerste vrugvorming na toediening. Vrugte mag eers geoes word vir gebruik 212 dae na toediening op sitrusbome. NOTAS: 1. Bome moet gesond en stremmingsvry wees en gereeld besproei word voor en na toediening. 2. Moet nie die gronddeurdrenkingsbehandeling toedien deur die besproeiingssisteem nie. 3. Moet nie toedien op pas gesnoeide bome nie. 4. WAARSKUWING: Moenie Merit 200 SC op koemkwat gebruik nie. 5. Insekbeheer op bome ouer as 15 jaar mag minder effektief wees weens n afname in die opname van die produk deur die plantwortels. Molkrieke (Gryllotalpa africana) Miere 0.5 ml / 0.5 water / 1 nesingang 1 ml / 1 water / 2 nesingange 5 ml / 5 water / 10 nesingange Grasdraertermiete (slegs vir huistuin gebruik) 35 ml / 10 water / 400 m 2 Dien toe as n algehele bedekking met die eerste tekens van besmetting. Besproei binne 24 uur na toediening. Moenie die gras sny voordat die gras besproei is voordat dit gereën het nie. Herhaal die toediening wanneer nodig. Vir beste resultate word n voorkomende behandeling aanbeveel gedurende die einde van Oktober en n herhaling 60 dae later om molkriek uitbrake te voorkom. NOTA: Molkrieke groter as 15 mm sal nie effektief deur Merit 200 SC beheer word nie. 40 ml / 40 water / 250 m 2 4 ml / 4 water / 25 m 2 en/ 0.5 ml / 0.5 water / 1 nesingang 1 ml / 1 water / 2 nesingange 5 ml / 5 water / 10 nesingange Baie spesies kom algemeen in die huistuin voor waar hul hul neste tussen plante, leiklippe, ens. en in grasperke maak. Miere kom van die tuin af binnenshuis op soek na suiker en ander voedsel. Die effektiewe beheer van miere moet begin met die behandeling van neste buitenshuis met Merit 200 SC. Vir effektiewe mierbeheer moet alle nesingange wat aktief deur miere gebruik word, behandel word. Dien 500 ml van die mengsel toe per aktiewe nesingang. Gooi die mengsel direk in direk rondom die nesingang. Grasdraertermiete is heelwat groter as miere en kan uitgeken word aan hul gewoonte om stukkies gras van die grasperk na hul nesingange te sleep. Hul neste strek oor groot gebiede en daar is gewoonlik meer as een ingang per nes. Om grasdraertermiete effektief te beheer, moet alle nesingange wat aktief gebruik word, behandel word. Omdat grasdraertermietneste diep in die grond kan strek, kan meer as een behandeling nodig wees om die probleem uit te roei. Oppervlakbehandeling: Dien as n algehele behandeling toe met die eerste tekens van besmetting. Dien toe waar aktiewe nesingange opgemerk word. Herhaal behandeling elke 3 weke wanneer grasdraertermiete weer opgemerk word. Nesbehandeling: Vir effektiewe beheer van grasdraertermiete moet alle nesingange wat aktief deur die termiete gebruik word, behandel word. Dien 500 ml van die mengsel toe per aktiewe nesingang. Gooi die mengsel direk in direk rondom die nesingang. Herhaal die behandeling wanneer grasdraertermiete weer opgemerk word, behandel net aktiewe

8 nesingange. Vir enige produk navrae, skakel Bayer Environmental Science vergiftigingsnoodgevalle kan Griffon Gif Inligtingsentrum ook gekontak word Slegs vir Merit is n geregistreerde handelsmerk van Bayer. Bayer (Edms.) Bpk. Alle ongemagtigde kopiëring van die etiket is verbode.
