naturalure™ fruit fly control bait
controls all species of fruit fly. naturalure
contains specially formulated proteins and carbohydrates that are
highly attractive to both the female and male fruit fly. The bait
contains a BFA registered organic insecticide called
Spinosad which is very toxic to fruit
fly, but very safe to mammals and other animals. One of the great
advantages naturalure has over other
lure and kill baits is its very low toxicity to other beneficial
insects.”

Mix 1 part of
OCP Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate with 6.5 parts of
water. Spray solution can be applied as a band or spot spray
(see Application section) |

Non-crop
vegetation and other fruit fly resting sites (for use in
area-wide fruit fly eradication or control programs) |
Dilute as
above or use as a concentrate spray by mixing 1 part of OCP
Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate with 1.5 parts of water
and apply as a spot spray (see Application section) |
|
Avoid
spraying the fruit as phytotoxicity may occur. Mangoes and pears
are particularly susceptible to blemishes, discolouration or
severe spotting (superficial on the skin only) from
protein-based baits. The risk of phytotoxicity is increased
during hot, dry conditions and with reapplication of spray to
the same location on the plants. If using a weekly spray
program, alternate tree or crop rows to which the product is
applied. Re-apply if rain washes bait off the foliage. |
NOT TO BE USED FOR
ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED

GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS:
OCP Naturalure Fruit
Fly Bait Concentrate is a protein and sugar based bait containing the
active ingredient spinosad. Once applied, fruit flies can detect the
bait from several metres away. OCP Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate
can be diluted with water (see MIXING section below) to produce
either a concentrated or a dilute solution. Use the concentrated
solution if application equipment will allow, as this will maximise bait
longevity and improve rain fastness. If necessary, remove filters and
strainers from spraying equipment to avoid blockages.
Note: Baiting for fruit fly control should be
supplemented with good orchard management practices such as removal of
fallen and/or rotting fruit.

Insecticide Resistance Warning |
|
GROUP |
5A |
INSECTICIDE |
For insecticide
resistance management OCP Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate is a
Group 5A insecticide.
Some naturally
occurring insect biotypes resistant to OCP Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait
Concentrate and other Group 5A insecticides may exist through normal
genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals
can eventually dominate the insect population if OCP Naturalure Fruit
Fly Bait Concentrate or other Group 5A insecticides are used repeatedly.
The effectiveness of OCP Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate on
resistant individuals could be significantly reduced.
Since the occurrence
of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, Organic
Crop Protectants Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may
result from the failure of OCP Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate to
control resistant insects.

MIXING
Once mixed, constant
agitation of the spray solution is recommended to ensure uniformity of
the spray mixture. Allow agitation system to operate for at least 5
minutes before applying. Once diluted, the solution should be used
within 24 hours.
Concentrated
solution: Mix 1 part of OCP Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait
Concentrate with 1.5 parts of water.
First add water
(equivalent to one half of the OCP Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate
to be mixed) to the spray tank and start the agitation system. Then add
the full amount of OCP Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate followed by
an equal amount of water.
Dilute
solution: Mix 1 part of OCP Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait
Concentrate with 6.5 parts of water.
First add water
(equivalent to the volume of OCP Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate
to be mixed) to the spray tank or premixing tank and start the agitation
system. Then add the full amount of OCP Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait
Concentrate followed by the remaining amount of water.
APPLICATION
Begin applications as soon as monitoring
traps indicate that flies are present and fruit is at a susceptible
stage. Repeat applications every 7 days, re-applying sooner if rain
washes off the deposit. A large spray droplet size of 4000 to 6000
microns (4-6 mm) is recommended to optimise duration of bait’s
attractiveness to flies. Apply as either a band or spot spray to the
lower canopy of fruiting plants as follows:
Band sprays (concentrated or dilute
solution):
Apply as a coarse spray in a 1 m wide band to
the skirt of trees. Apply to one side of every row or every second row
of trees.
Spot sprays of the concentrated solution:
Apply to trees and
foliage as coarse spots of 20 mL per spot of 1 m2. Apply 125
spots per hectare.
Spot sprays of the dilute solution:
Apply to trees and
foliage as coarse spots of 50 mL per spot of 1 m2. Apply 150
spots per hectare.
Spots should be
distributed evenly throughout an orchard to optimize effectiveness.
Adjust the application of the spots to suit the number of trees per
hectare, but do not exceed the application rate above.
CLEANING SPRAY
EQUIPMENT
After using OCP
Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate empty the tank and completely
drain the system. Rinse the tank, pumps, lines, hoses, filters and
nozzles by circulating clean water through the system. Drain and repeat
the rinsing procedure twice.
PROTECTION OF
LIVESTOCK
Dangerous to bees.
Avoid direct application or drift of the spray mix onto beehives. Do not
spray on plants in flower if bees are active. Once the spray deposit has
dried, foraging bees will not be affected.
PROTECTION OF
WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT
DO NOT contaminate
streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers.
DO NOT apply in
strong winds or any other conditions that may result in drift onto
adjacent pastures, crops or water supplies.

PROTECTION OF
NON-TARGET INSECTS
Beneficial insects
contribute to control of pest outbreaks. Applications of OCP Naturalure
Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate are unlikely to affect lacewings (Chrysopa
spp.), predatory bugs (Geocoris, Orius and Nabis
spp.), spiders and most species of ladybird beetles (Coccinella,
Diomus, and Harmonia spp.). However some species of
beneficial insects may be sensitive to OCP Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait
Concentrate and its use may temporarily reduce populations of parasitoid
wasps (especially Trichogramma spp.), ants some beetles and
tachinid flies. This may lead to some disruption of IPM systems based on
these species, but generally populations will recover.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
Store in the closed,
original container, in a cool well-ventilated area. Do not store for
prolonged periods in direct sunlight. Triple or preferably pressure
rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings to 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.
SMALL SPILL MANAGEMENT
Sweep up material and contain in a refuse
vessel for disposal in the same manner as for containers (see STORAGE
AND DISPOSAL section).
SAFETY DIRECTIONS
Will irritate the eyes. Avoid contact with
eyes. Wash hands after use.

people may be allergic. If you are concerned about a potential
allergic response, it is advisable to wear gloves and/or some face
protection such as a dust mask when mixing or using the product.
Take care to avoid contact of the product or spray solution with
skin and eyes.
FIRST AID: If
poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre. Phone
