For insecticide resistance management PROCLAIM INSECTICIDE is a Group 6A insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to PROCLAIM 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 PROCLAIM and other Group 6A insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of PROCLAIM 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 PROCLAIM to control resistant insects. PROCLAIM may be subject to specific resistance management strategies. For further information contact your supplier, Syngenta representative or local agricultural department agronomist. |
| Protect Fauna |
|
Dangerous to fish and other aquatic organisms. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers. DO NOT apply under weather conditions, or from spraying equipment, which could be expected to cause spray to drift onto adjacent areas, particularly wetlands, water bodies or watercourses. |
| Protect Livestock |
|
Dangerous to bees. DO NOT spray any plants in flower while bees are foraging. |
| Safety Directions |
Harmful if swallowed. Will irritate the eyes and skin. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. When opening the container and preparing the spray wear:
- cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing);
- elbow length PVC gloves; and
- goggles or face shield.
Wash hands after use. After each day's use, wash gloves, goggles or face shield and contaminated clothing. |
| Storage |
|
Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well ventilated area. DO NOT store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. |
| Disposal |
|
Triple or preferably pressure rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings to the spray tank. DO NOT dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. If recycling, replace cap and return clean containers to recycler or designated collection point. If not recycling, break, crush, or puncture and bury empty containers in a local authority landfill. If no landfill is available, bury the containers below 500 mm in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots. Empty containers and product should not be burnt. |
|
Mixing |
|
Add the required amount of PROCLAIM to a partly filled spray tank, and then add the remainder of the water. |
|
Application |
PROCLAIM is not systemic making good coverage essential - ensure thorough coverage of the crop DO NOT apply by aerial application.
Brassica Vegetables: Apply PROCLAIM in a minimum of 400 L water/ha
Capsicums, Lettuce, Sweet Corn, Tomatoes: ensure thorough coverage of the crop
Grapes: Apply PROCLAIM in a minimum of 250 L water/ha |
|
Compatibility |
PROCLAIM is compatible with Chess Insecticide, Delfin* WG Insecticide, Pirimor WG Aphicide, Supracide400 EC, Topas100 EC Systemic Fungicide, Citowett, Agral, Confidor* 200 SC Insecticide, Mavrik* Aquaflo Insecticide and mancozeb. As formulations of other manufacturer’s products are beyond the control of Syngenta, and the quality of water may vary with location, all mixtures should be tested prior to mixing commercial quantities. |

| Mode
Of Action |
PROCLAIM is a member of the Group 6A insecticides.
Emamectin is a GABA (gamma amino butyric acid) agonist that stimulates the release of GABA from presynaptic inhibitory membranes at the nerve endings and enhances the binding of GABA to receptor sites in the muscle cells or arthropods. This binding results in an increased flow of chloride ions into the cell, essentially blocking the nerve signals. Shortly after exposure, the pests stop feeding and damaging the host plant, and become irreversibly paralysed. Death occurs within 4 days of application. Larvae receive a dose of the chemical mainly buy ingestion. |
