Use the higher rate to maintain the yield potential of high yielding sugarcane crops when heavy greyback infestation is expected or where 4 year control of Childers is required. Apply granules in a band 15-20cm wide across the centre of the row by one of the methods listed below. Cover granules with at least 5cm of compacted soil or 10cm of loose soil at the time of application. DO NOT remove soil or disturb granules in subsequent cultivation. Bring in further covering soil as cane growth allows. Granules should be covered by 15-20cm of compacted soil once the row is finished and hilled up. This placement can be achieved by one of the application methods shown for Conventional Planting under GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS. CONVENTIONAL PLANTING IN DUAL ROWS (Cane planted in dual rows in beds up to 2.1m apart) Apply suscon maxi with a precision granule applicator, so that granules are placed in bands 15-20cm wide in each planting row. Similar amounts of product should be applied in each band (112.5g/100m row). Cover granules with at least 5cm of compacted soil or 10cm of loose soil at the time of application. DO NOT remove soil or disturb granules in subsequent cultivation. If row/bed completion requires, bring in further covering soil as cane growth allows. Granules should be covered by 15-20cm of compacted soil once the row is finished and hilled up. This placement can be achieved by one of the application methods shown for Conventional Planting under GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS. suscon maxi Approved: 13 September 2012 Page 6 of 10

GRAZING: DO NOT GRAZE OR CUT FOR STOCK-FOOD FOR 27 WEEKS AFTER APPLICATION. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Insecticide Resistance Warning GROUP 4A INSECTICIDE For insecticide resistance management suscon maxi Soil Insecticide is a Group 4A insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to suscon maxi and other Group 4A insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if suscon maxi or other Group 4A insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of suscon maxi on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, Crop Care Australasia Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of suscon maxi to control resistant insects. The user should seek advice and monitor performance and if the results are not in accordance with expectations, contact the manufacturer immediately. Apparent resistance however, should not be confused with poor application, coverage or timing techniques. suscon maxi may be subject to specific resistance management strategies. For further information contact your local supplier, Crop Care Australasia Pty Ltd representative or local agricultural department agronomist. Export of Treated Produce Growers should note that suitable MRLs or import tolerances may not be established in all markets for produce treated with suscon maxi. If you are growing produce for export, please check with Crop Care Australasia Pty Ltd for the latest information on MRLs and import tolerances BEFORE using suscon maxi. suscon maxi Approved: 13 September 2012 Page 7 of 10
1. APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CONVENTIONAL PLANTING suscon Maxi should be applied directly to the soil through a precision granule applicator. Apply granules in a band 15-20cm wide across the centre of the row by one of the methods listed below. Cover granules with at least 5cm of compacted soil or 10cm of loose soil, at the time of application. DO NOT remove soil or disturb granules in subsequent cultivation. Bring in further covering soil as cane growth allows. Granules should be covered by 15-20cm of compacted soil once the row is finished and hilled up. This placement can be achieved by the following application methods: (i) Apply at Planting Mix granules with incoming soil behind the planter boards to form a layer 2-3cm deep and 15-20cm wide across the row. Granules may safely touch the sett. This method is most suitable where there is 20cm or less soil above the sett in the finished hilled row, and especially where Negatoria or Childers grub are a major local pest. (ii) Apply into the Furrow a) At first working Apply granules in a band 15-20cm wide across the centre of the furrow and 2-5cm above the sett, depending on planting depth. This method is most suitable where there will be 17-20cm of soil above the sett in the finished hilled row, especially where greyback and other grubs occur together. suscon maxi Approved: 13 September 2012 Page 8 of 10
b) At cutaway or drill fill-in Apply granules in a band 15-20cm wide across the centre of the furrow and between 5-15cm above the sett depending on row depth. This method is recommended where there will be more than 20cm of soil above the sett in the finished hilled row, especially where greyback grub is the major pest. 2. APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DOUBLE DISC OPENER PLANTERS suscon Maxi should be applied directly to the soil through a precision granule applicator.
