Usage instructions
Rimon® Fast 100 SC is recommended for the early treatment of maize stalk borer. Rimon® Fast 100 SC is applied when 5 % or more plants show “shot-hole” damage and before the migration of the borers into the stalk or 7 days after 2.5 % or more plants are infested with eggs. Larvae already in the stem will not be controlled.
Rimon® Fast 100 SC can be applied by any suitable medium or high volume applicator provided it is correctly calibrated, is fitted with an effective agitation mechanism and is able to distribute the spray material evenly over target area. Apply in 200-300 L water per hectare. Flat fan nozzles are recommended.
Apply to the leaves and into the maize funnel followed by a second application 7 days later. A third application may be applied 7 days later if necessary. African bollworm and red spider mite if present will also be controlled.
In soy beans, apply as a full cover spray at the start of flowering as soon as pests are noticed. A spray volume of at least 200 L/ha is recommended. Repeat the application after 14 days. A third application may be applied 14 days later if necessary.
