•Wash contaminated clothing after use.

•Do not eat, drink or smoke whilst mixing or applying the product or before washing hands and face and change of clothing.

•Prevent drift onto other crops, grazing, rivers, dams or areas not under treatment or to nearby water sources.

•Thoroughly clean spraying equipment directly after use and dispose of wash water where it will not contaminate food, grazing, boreholes, rivers or dams.

•TRIPLE RINSE empty containers in the following manner: Invert the empty container over the spray or mixing tank and allow draining for at least 30 seconds after the flow has slowed down to a drip. Thereafter rinse the container three times with a volume of water equal to a minimum of 10 % of that of the container. Add the rinsing to the contents of the spray tank before destroying the container in the prescribed manner.

•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.

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

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.
