• Destroy the empty container by perforation and flattening and dispose of it in a safe way.

• Never re-use the empty container for any other purpose.

• Prevent contamination of food, feed, drinking water and eating utensils.

SYMPTOMS OF POISONING

In severe cases of poisoning: apathetic state, depressed muscular tone, respiratory disturbances, trembling
and muscular cramps.

FIRST AID TREATMENT

• In case poisoning is suspected: Remove the patient from the source of poisoning to a well-ventilated area
and keep him/her calm and at rest. Call a physician immediately. Keep the airway clear to maintain
respiration, particularly when the patient is unconscious or has vomited. Do not apply direct mouth-to-mouth
respiration.

• Skin contact: Remove contaminated clothing and wash the contaminated areas with plenty of soap and cold
water. Do not rub the skin. Get medical attention if irritation persists.

• Eye contact: Immediately flush contaminated eyes for 15 minutes with clean cold water, while occasionally
lifting upper and lower lids. Seek medical advice if irritation persists.

• Inhalation: If breathing difficulty or irritation occur and persist, obtain medical attention. Do not apply direct
mouth-to-mouth respiration.

• Ingestion: Seek medical advice immediately. Have victim rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Treat respiratory difficulty with artificial respiration and oxygen.
Administration of oxygen and lavage must be performed by qualified medical personnel.

NOTE TO PHYSICIAN

There is no specific antidote available. Treat symptomatically. Check blood pressure and pulse rate frequently
as bradycardia and hypotonia are possible. Provide supportive measures for respiratory and cardiac action.
Give artificial respiration if signs of paralysis appear. Additional measures involve the elimination of the
substance from the body or acceleration of its excretion (gastrolavage, saline laxatives).

RESISTANCE WARNING
IMIDOR 350 SC is a group code 4A insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally

Minimum time between the last application, harvest and grazing:

resistant to IMIDOR 350 SC and other group code 4A insecticides. The resistant individuals can eventually
dominate the insect population if these insecticides are used repeatedly. These resistant insects may not be
controlled by IMIDOR 350 SC or any other group code 4A insecticide.
To delay insecticide resistance:

• avoid exclusive repeated use of insecticides from the same insecticide group code. Alternate or tank mix with
products from different insecticide group codes,

• integrate other control methods (chemical, cultural, biological) into insect control programmes.

For specific information on resistance management contact the registration holder of this product.

USE RESTRICTIONS
HONEY BEES: Do not apply onto crops as a foliar spray when Honey bees are present. Prevent drift
onto surrounding crops/areas where Honey bees may visit flowering plants.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Use only as directed.

IMPORTANT NOTES
The following are mandatory for the application of IMIDOR 350SC in grapevines:

• Precede the application of IMIDOR 350SC as a soil drench with a winter/dormancy treatment for
Mealybugs.

• Do not apply IMIDOR 350SC under dryland conditions. Vines must be healthy, free of stress and regularly
irrigated after application.

• Do not apply IMIDOR 350SC through irrigation systems.

• Ensure that the soil is moist at time of application. Remove leaves, weeds and other organic material that
would restrict leaching of the mixture into the soil.

• Regularly monitor treated vines during the growing season according to protocol guidelines. If necessary,
apply Dichlorvos 1000 EC as a corrective treatment.

• It is important to ensure control of Ants in order to enable natural predators and parasites to contribute
towards the control of Mealybugs.

Apply the mixture from ridge-tip to ridge-tip in the
planting
furrow using 3 to 4 litres water per 100 m furrow length.
Apply before planting of the tubers. The use of 8006 or
8008 flat fan nozzles are recommended.
IMIDOR 350 SC can also be applied over the row after
planting, but before emergence. Irrigate immediately
afterwards (±15 mm water).
To obtain simultaneous control of Aphids and Nematodes,

IMIDOR 350 SC can also be used in a tank mixture with
Fenamiphos 400 EC or Nemacur® 400 EC.

When IMIDOR 350 SC is mixed with Fenamiphos 400
EC

or Nemacur® 400 EC, the IMIDOR 350 SC dosage can
be
reduced to 3.0 ml per 100 m row length.

NOTE

Ensure that the tubers are not covered by the spray
mixture containing IMIDOR 350 SC when applying above
mentioned mixtures. Apply in the open furrow before
planting of the tubers.

First apply Procap 15 GR or Mocap® 150 GR as a
broadcast application prior to planting or the formation of
ridges and beds. Incorporate the granules into the soil to
a depth of 150 to 250 mm. Plant the tubers soon after
application, but not later than 7 days after application.

Apply IMIDOR 350 SC as indicated above.

NOTE

Only for use on tomatoes in enclosed areas (e.g.
glasshouses, tunnels, etc.). Apply as a soil drench 24
hours after transplanting. Mix 10 ml IMIDOR 350 SC in
20 litres water and pour 100 ml of this mixture on the soil
around each plant’s stem base. Irrigate within 24 hours
after application and repeat the treatment 4 weeks later.

Apply when pest is noticed. Best results are obtained
when the crop is growing actively.
Aphids on plants under stress (e.g. drought or flooded
conditions) will not be controlled effectively.

Apply as a soil drench at budburst around the base
of the
stem. Follow up immediately afterwards with another 2
litres of clean water per vine. Prevent run-off by
making a
small basin. Irrigate within 24 hours after the treatment.

Apply as a preventative and curative treatment. In
order to prevent die-back of trees due to Conifer
aphid infestations, yearly preventative treatments are
recommended.

Preventative treatment:
To prevent infestations, start with treatment from April
until May. Apply the mixture as a soil drench treatment
around the base of conifer trees. Apply a second
treatment 2 months after the first application.

Curative treatment:
Apply the mixture as a soil drench treatment around the
base of conifer trees at the first signs of infestation. Apply
a second treatment 2 months after first application.

Apply the mixture as a soil drench treatment around the
base of rosebushes at the first signs of infestation.
Repeat treatment with 60 days interval.

First determine the size of the Mole crickets by drenching
an area on the lawn with a dishwashing liquid solution
(50 ml dishwashing liquid per 10 litres water), where
Mole cricket activity is evident.

Mole crickets larger than 15 mm will not be controlled
effectively.

Repeat the treatment when necessary. For best results a
preventative treatment can be applied at the end of
October and repeated two (2) months later, to prevent
Mole cricket outbreaks.

IMPORTANT
Only first and second instar larvae will be controlled
effectively.

Apply as a preventative and curative treatment spraying
as follows:

Preventative:
Treatments can be performed at beginning of November,
January and March (every 60 days), to obtain season
long protection in areas where White grubs are known
to be a pest.

Curative:
Look for signs of infestation from November until April.
Apply as
an overall application at the first signs of infestation.
