GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
After application VERTIMEC quickly moves into leaves where
it remains for several weeks and where it is taken up by
sucking mites. VERTIMEC is not systemic making good
coverage essential. VERTIMEC that is not absorbed into
plants is quickly degraded.
INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING
For insecticide resistance management VERTIMEC is a Group
6A insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes
resistant to VERTIMEC and other Group 6A insecticides may
exist through normal genetic variability in any insect
population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate
the insect population if VERTIMEC and other Group 6A
insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of
VERTIMEC on resistant individuals could be significantly
reduced. Since occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult
to detect prior to use, Syngenta Crop Protection Pty Limited
accepts no liability for any losses that may result from failure
of VERTIMEC to control resistant insects. VERTIMEC may be
subject to specific resistance management strategies. For
further information contact your supplier, Syngenta
representative or local agricultural department agronomist.
CROP MONITORING
Effective control depends upon regular monitoring of crops.
Check crops regularly (every 3 to 5 days) during the season.
MIXING
Measure the required amount of VERTIMEC, add to the partly
filled spray tank, and then add the remainder of the water. If
oil is recommended add this after the VERTIMEC is well
mixed. Wetting agent is not required.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLE AND PEAR APPLICATIONS:
VERTIMEC is not systemic making good coverage essential.
To achieve 750 mL VERTIMEC + 5 L Summer oil/ha apply
spray at the following mixing rates:
CROP SAFETY:
VERTIMEC plus Summer Oil has very
occasionally caused slight fruit russetting on some pear
varieties particularly Anjou and other sensitive varieties when
used alone or when other products are applied sequentially.
A very small amount of temporary apple fruit blemishing has
been associated

For best results, apply the product using dilute
applications (spraying to the point of runoff). If applying
with concentrate applications efficacy may be
compromised. DO NOT apply at more than two times
concentrate, ie half the dilute water volume. Apply the
same total amount of VERTIMEC to the target crop
whether applying VERTIMEC by dilute or concentrate
spraying methods.
DO NOT apply VERTIMEC before or after applications
of Delan* or Captan*. In apples, apply VERTIMEC from
2 to 6 weeks after petal fall if monitoring shows high
numbers of over-wintering European Red Mite eggs are
present, or if mites are a problem early in the season. In
pears, timing is not as critical and the application should
be made soon after mite numbers have reached the
threshold for your area. Generally VERTIMEC takes
about 7 days to reach maximum mite control.
VERTIMEC will control moderate to high mite
populations, but in the absence of predatory mites (see
Integrated Pest Control below), retreatment with
another miticide may be necessary. If retreatment is
required, use an approved miticide from a different
chemical group. Refer to notes on Resistance and Crop
Safety under General Instructions section of this label.
